What we do here is :
- install/configure SNMP on all our equipements (routers, switches,
	Linux and Windows servers too)
- customize SNMP to add some more relevant information (like HD state
	for RAID arrays, which we can get through proprietary software from
	the RAID manufacturer)
- use MRTG to chew the data and display something usable for a
	non-technical customer

Works great so far. SNMP is available on almost anything, very
customizable (I'm taking about ucd-snmp here) and you can read it with
pretty much any supervision tool.

Good luck!
