# Startup Presentation: Why Netdata: The Power of Distributed Monitoring


- **Date:** Friday, Jul 19, 2024
- **Time:** 11:50–11:55 (5 min)
- **Room:** STAGE 8 (120)
- **Event:** World Congress 2024

## Description

Netdata is a powerful open-source, distributed observability pipeline designed to provide higher fidelity, easier scalability, and a lower cost of ownership.
Netdata's goal: Create a monitoring tool offering high-res metrics, auto-detection & real-time visualization with minimal configuration.
Key developments:
- Efficient Database Engine: Netdata outperforms Prometheus with 35% less CPU utilization, 49% less memory usage, 12% less bandwidth, 98% less disk I/O, and 75% less disk space for the same dataset
- Powerful Alerting Engine: Utilizing statistical analysis, ML & templates for fully automated alerts
- Advanced Streaming Protocol: Supporting live data streaming, metric replication, and interactive query routing between Netdata agents
We'll learn how Netdata's architecture enables distributed monitoring, vertical & horizontal scalability & real-time visibility across infrastructure.
