Ipswitch Adds Cloud Monitoring to WhatsUp Gold 2017 Plus Service Pack 1

Ipswitch has added a number of enhancements to WhatsUp Gold 2017 Plus Service Pack 1, including cloud monitoring and expanded storage monitoring.

“Cloud monitoring extends WhatsUp Gold's proven network monitoring functionality to the cloud and beyond the premises to ensure consistent traffic across all systems,” said Mark Amick, Senior Product Consultant at Ipswitch. “Expanded storage monitoring extends WhatsUp Gold's proven storage monitoring functionality to give users more flexibility in their choice of storage devices.”

WhatsUp Gold now automatically discovers, maps and monitors cloud resources from cloud providers such as Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure. These resources are monitored for availability through the API resources of each cloud provider. Using an internal algorithm, WhatsUp Gold can determine the availability of any cloud resources including servers and load balancers. Monitored cloud resources can have availability and performance monitors applied to them such as storage capacity, CPU usage, memory utilization and interface utilization.

WhatsUp Gold can now automatically discover, map and monitor storage devices in the EMC Unity Family as well as the currently supported NetApp devices.
