Progress WhatsUp Gold

WhatsUp Gold is a comprehensive SaaS network monitoring solution designed specifically for managed service providers (MSPs). This comprehensive tool enables full monitoring and management of IT infrastructure, from local networks to cloud environments, servers, applications and virtual appliances. With advanced network traffic analysis and log collection features, WhatsUp Gold provides full visibility over the health of the IT infrastructure, allowing you to quickly identify problems and optimize network performance.

WhatsUp Gold automatically discovers and maps networks, creating interactive visualizations that depict the entire IT infrastructure. With easy access to information about the performance and status of each device, MSPs can effectively manage their customers' networks, ensuring continuous service availability and quick response to any problems.

Main features of WhatsUp Gold:

• Automated network discovery and mapping - WhatsUp Gold uses advanced Layer 2/3 Discovery and Seed Scan technology to identify devices on the network, such as routers, switches, servers and access points. Automatic IT infrastructure mapping provides a complete picture of the network and dependencies between devices.

• IT Infrastructure Management and Monitoring - The tool monitors the availability and performance of key IT infrastructure components, including routers, servers, storage devices, virtual machines and applications. WhatsUp Gold supports standard monitoring protocols, such as ICMP, SNMP, WMI and SSH, allowing you to manage virtually any device with an IP address.

• Monitoring cloud resources - WhatsUp Gold automatically discovers and monitors cloud environments such as Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure. This enables MSPs to track the use of cloud resources and monitor costs associated with cloud services.

• Network traffic analysis - The solution collects network traffic flow data using protocols such as Cisco NetFlow, sFlow, J-Flow and IPFIX, which allows network performance analysis and identification of traffic bottlenecks and anomalies.

• Virtual instance monitoring - WhatsUp Gold offers full monitoring and management of virtual instances, including VMware and Hyper-V. MSPs can track the performance of virtual hosts and guests, monitor resource consumption, and analyze event logs.

• Log management and event analysis - the tool allows you to collect and manage device logs, which allows you to quickly find, filter, and alert on anomalies. This feature supports MSPs in identifying and analyzing problems and monitoring long-term trends in IT infrastructure.

Why is it worth it?

• Full visibility over IT infrastructure - WhatsUp Gold provides interactive visualization of the entire IT environment, making it easier for MSPs to monitor, manage, and optimize clients' network resources.

• Proactive monitoring and alerting - automatic notifications of network or device performance issues allow MSPs to quickly respond to failures and minimize downtime.

• Scalable cloud and virtual resource management - WhatsUp Gold integrates monitoring of cloud and virtual resources, enabling MSPs to fully control infrastructure performance and costs.

• Reduced operating costs - Network discovery and mapping automation and advanced traffic analysis tools allow MSPs to manage resources more efficiently and reduce operating costs.
• Compliance and security analysis - advanced log management features and network traffic analysis support MSPs in meeting regulatory requirements and identifying potential security risks.

With WhatsUp Gold, MSPs can provide their customers with end-to-end control of their IT infrastructure, automating the processes of monitoring, managing and optimizing resources, resulting in increased efficiency, reduced costs and improved service delivery.
