What is WhatsUp Gold?
WhatsUp Gold is a graphical network mapping, monitoring, and notification solution that helps you keep your growing network up and running. With WhatsUp Gold, you can quickly create a map of your network, start monitoring, and get feedback on your network's performance. You can:
- Map your network - Choose from several automated discovery options to create a map of the devices (for example: routers, switches, servers, workstations) in your network. Auto Discovery can also discover services (for example: web, mail or file transfer services) on each device.
- Monitor devices and services - Use standard protocols (TCP/IP, SNMP, NetBIOS, and IPX) to map and monitor your network. WhatsUp Gold continously polls the mapped devices (and services on the devices). It initiates both visible and audible alarms when monitored devices and system services go down.
- Receive notification of problems - When WhatsUp Gold detects a problem, you can receive instant notification by beeper, pager, sound, WinPopup, e-mail, voice message, and others.
- Generate reports to help you analyze your network uptime, capacity utilization, and response time.
- Manage WhatsUp Gold remotely - Use the built-in, secure web server to view maps from a browser on a remote computer.
WhatsUp Gold is the affordable alternative to expensive and complicated high-end network management systems. Also, it's easily configured to match your precise network environment, scalable to accommodate growth, and simple to administer.
