Ipswitch WhatsUp Gold 2016 Sets New Standard for IT Monitoring Flexibility, Pricing and Value

Ipswitch announced the launch of its new Ipswitch WhatsUp Gold 2016 unified infrastructure and application monitoring software. WhatsUp Gold 2016 gives modern IT teams the ability to monitor their entire environment with a single cost-effective software product, and to flexibly adapt their monitoring approach based on changing business priorities without the need to 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 infrastructure

· Optimize bandwidth utilization

· Manage network configurations

“I like that WhatsUp Gold 2016 allows me to optimize my underutilized 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.”

With WhatsUp Gold 2016, teams can assure bandwidth is optimized for critical apps and services while also easily automating configuration and inventory management, log monitoring and compliance audits. Ipswitch aims to be the true champion of IT teams who are delighted by fair prices, honest business practices, and flexible software that works out-of-the-box.

“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 its 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 organizations running smoothly and not worry about complicated purchase decisions, waste, or licensing issues.”
