Ipswitch announced the upcoming availability of the 2017 Plus version of WhatsUp Gold network monitoring with new cloud capabilities, new layers of security and additional user driven enhancements.
Ipswitch has also strengthened existing partner relationships with Cisco, Microsoft, VMware and HP to provide these new product capabilities.
WhatsUp Gold 2017 Plus, available later this summer, adds more flexible monitoring and visibility for the largest networks. WhatsUp Gold 2017 Plus now delivers architectural flexibility with distributed monitoring capabilities, new Managed Service Provider capabilities, improved real-time visibility features for faster Mean Time To Repair and new disaster recovery with enhanced failover capabilities supporting both automated and manual failover.
Following soon after the initial release, Ipswitch will introduce enhancements for WhatsUp Gold that enable monitoring of hybrid IT environments that use Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services. Through enhanced partnerships with Microsoft, Cisco, VMware and HP, WhatsUp Gold 2017 Plus also has tighter, more robust integrations with cloud, hardware and applications that IT teams rely on.
“These new capabilities should make WhatsUp Gold even easier to use and implement,” said Shamus McGillicuddy, Senior Analyst, Network Management at Enterprise Management Associates. “The real time monitoring enhancements will be welcomed by the IT community, and the company’s upcoming support for Azure and AWS, as well as updated storage capabilities, address emerging requirements for hybrid IT monitoring."
