IPSWITCH WHATSUP GOLD
2017 REIMAGINES IT AND
NETWORK MONITORING
Ipswitch has announced the launch of Ipswitch WhatsUp Gold
2017. WhatsUp Gold 2017 reimagines how IT teams discover,
visualise, troubleshoot and monitor networks, servers,
virtual machines and applications. WhatsUp Gold 2017 with
TotalView enables IT teams to monitor everything with one
cost effective license.
Ipswitch WhatsUp Gold 2017 helps IT teams control the
increasing complexity of today’s hybrid environment with a single
flexible software solution that provides a comprehensive and
interactive view of the entire network and introduces a faster, simpler
and more intuitive user experience (UX) that puts users in control.
WhatsUp Gold 2017 provides immediate value by
automatically discovering your end-to-end IT environment and
features a unique and interactive network map that quickly shows
the status of every device and interconnection. The visualisation
can be dynamically filtered to gain real time insight into physical,
virtual and wireless networks as well as their dependencies.
The innovative network mapping technology gives users
the flexibility to filter and optimise views of their networks. It
starts with advanced discovery capabilities that automatically
identify everything connected to the network and automatically
apply device roles and monitors to dramatically accelerate the
monitoring setup. This dynamic mapping capability supports both
physical and virtual devices including VMware and Hyper-V.
