WhatsUp Gold 2016 gives modern IT teams the ability to monitor their entire environment with one piece of cost-effective software. It also delivers the flexibility to adapt monitoring approaches based on changing business priorities without the need to re-evaluate and purchase new licenses. By enabling IT teams to monitor and manage their entire environment with one simple license, customers get the maximum value out of their investment without the waste, headaches and complex artificial license limitations imposed by other vendors.
88% of IT professionals are dissatisfied with their current monitoring approach and 78% are challenged to secure the budget needed to meet business goals, according to a recent international survey of 1,700 IT professionals entitled, “The State of Monitoring 2016.” Ipswitch WhatsUp Gold 2016 alleviates both of these problems with a single flexible software product that provides a unique total view of the entire network and gives IT teams secure control of business transactions, applications and infrastructure. This enables IT teams to:
- Find and fix performance problems
Monitor critical applications and infrastructureOptimise bandwidth utilisationManage network configurations “I like that WhatsUp Gold 2016 allows me to optimise my under-utilised licenses and use them for features I don’t own today.”, says Dan Hochman, Manager of Information Technology at ArQule. "With TotalView and the new point tiers, I can enhance the monitoring capabilities for our infrastructure while controlling license costs.”
“IT teams need to instantly know what is happening with their entire infrastructure; their jobs are too demanding to constantly jump from one IT management tool to another,” said Austin O’Malley, Chief Product Officer at Ipswitch. “The new WhatsUp Gold 2016 not only gives IT teams a single, comprehensive view of their network, servers, applications and storage devices, but the new TotalView pricing model removes hassles by including all of the important features in one simple package. This means IT teams can focus on keeping their organisations running smoothly and not worry about complicated purchase decisions, waste, or licensing issues.”

David Perkins, Sales Manager at Level 8 Solutions, WhatsUp Gold Partner Of The Year, commented, “Many of our customers come to us having previously over-spent and under utilised multiple monitoring tools. They are frustrated with the lack of flexibility to shift monitoring priorities. WhatsUpGold 2016 from Ipswitch changes this by giving IT teams the monitoring flexibility they need to support 24/7 business critical applications, services and infrastructure while avoiding overbuying and waste.”
