Removing ping/icmp from a network

I have a variety of clients with data centres who all make use of icmp/ping to monitor their servers/appliances/devices (often with poorly configured snmp versions 1 and 2).

Could anybody kindly advise me of tools and strategies for minimising or removing the use of icmp/ping on a supposedly secure network?

Thanks in advance
