Also worth a look <a href="http://www.tripwire.com/data-security/" rel="ugc">Tripwire</a>, and there is a free, if older variant, also on the free front have a look at AIDE.<br />
<br />
On the monitoring front, if your also after general network / traffic stat's, then there are numerous solutions: nagios, CA-Agentless (IP mirror), Cacti, Smokeping, IBM tivloi.....

Thanks for the input guys, I forgot to mention they need to be PCI compliant, do these solutions offer this?

We have a client who currently spends 4k per month with alert logic for monitoring and intrusion detection. We want to help minimize this cost with a similar solution. Can anyone suggest a similar product or solution? We would ideally like to put our own equipment in, and have it send us alerts when necessary.<br />
<br />
Any thoughts?

intrusion detection monitoring

Network analysis is the process of identifying and remediating the processes and systems within a network, including performance, connectivity and security. The process is performed through the use of tools developed for monitoring and analyzing network activity. Network problems that involve finding an optimal way of doing something are studied under the name combinatorial optimization. Examples include network flow, shortest path problem, transport problem, transshipment problem, location problem, matching problem, assignment problem, packing problem, routing problem, Critical Path Analysis and PERT (Program Evaluation & Review Technique).

Network Analysis

Disaster Recovery is the planning for and creation of policies and procedures related to the resumption or continuation of an organization's functions following a catastrophic event. The term is most frequently used in relation to failure of networks, but DR preparations also include other business systems and personnel considerations.
