Know Your Network
Networks can be complex, unwieldy beasts, making the role of network administrators – responsible for device and application management, security, maintenance, service levels, troubleshooting, planning, and other tasks – a hard one. Administrators need to know what’s happening on their networks at all times, and in real time.

That’s why network monitoring is the most critical function of network management – and why the WhatsUp Gold family of network management solutions are the choice of network administrators from organizations of all types and sizes. Comprehensive yet easy to use, WhatsUp Gold provides real-time visibility into the status and performance of every network device, including routers, switches, hubs, servers, workstations, security technologies, applications, utilities, and a host of other network-connected devices and equipment.

WhatsUp Gold does more with fewer hassles and less cost. Click to learn more:

SNMP/WMI Support
With the ability to read both SNMP and WMI monitors, WhatsUp Gold is the one solution that covers your entire network. Support for SNMP v1-3 ensures secure communication with all network devices. Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) is a standard for retrieving information from Windows applications and systems, and WhatsUp Gold was one of the first network management solutions to support it.

Find & Fix
The sooner you know there's an issue, the sooner you can take steps to correct it. WhatsUp Gold monitors your network 24/7 and can issue alerts in 12 different ways at the earliest signs of trouble.

Scalability
WhatsUp Gold can easily monitor up to 2,000 devices using numerous SNMP and WMI monitors; although if only managing performance, it can handle up to 10 times that number.

Remote Management
If your network administrator is on the road, or if issues occur after hours, WhatsUp Gold still provides visibility and reporting thanks to its web-based remote management capabilities. Network administrators have anywhere, anytime access to the full functionality of the solution from any standard browser.

Technology & Compliance
In virtualized environments, each remaining physical server or network device is that much more critical. Web services require the availability of distributed networks. Downtime and loss of security puts companies at risk of non-compliance with regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA, 21 CFR Part 11, and the UK's ITIL standards.

Views & Reports
With a configurable reporting portal, WhatsUp Gold enables you to customize views - called Workspaces - and pre-populate reports to different users' needs based on their role in the organization.
