The latest version of the product introduces several exciting features including a server hardware health monitor, the Real-Time Process Explorer, and support for IPv6.

- Support for IPv6
- More than 30 new and updated out-of-the-box server and application monitoring templates
SAM benefits for sysadmins:
- Comprehensive server and application coverage (email, Active Directory, Java, database, hardware, etc.), whicheliminates the need for multiple monitoring products
- Easy-to-use, customizable dashboards and reports for viewing trends, capacity, and performance
- Expert Templates that provide best practices information into which statistics should be monitored and why, as well as optimal thresholds
