Remote management of servers?

[nd75596]

I've got this posted on the Business section but thought I would post it here too!

I'm looking at providing a managed service to small to medium size companies. My idea is that I would charge a fee(?) for monitoring their Windows servers (and Security if required). Any issues with the customers Servers would be fix remotley or through a network of support people.

I would install some software onto the customers server which would send me any issues on the customers servers!

I was really after some feedback from people on here, if they think this would be a feesable idea?


Thanks

Thanks for the replies, I have been working with various software which would give me the remote monitoring and security functions. I have already created the scripts etc to give me the information for the customers servers. I was more interested in if people in here thought this would be a good area to get into, I have the experience in deploying products to do this but most of the time I deal with Banks etc not the smal/medium markets.

So the question is....

If you worked for a company and was offered a solutions which would monitor your servers for issues and the security on those servers (+Firewalls) would you want an external company doing this?

Thanks
