Historically, organizations with multiple sites and inter-connecting
networks spanning geographies have been forced to compromise as they have
been limited to two very different choices for network management and
monitoring:
- Multiple installations of disconnected single solutions at each
physical location
- Large and expensive systems that require a significant additional
investment in implementation, configuration and training
Unfortunately, neither choice represents an optimal solution addressing
both total cost of ownership (TCO) and seamless multi-site infrastructure
management.
For those organizations searching for a highly capable alternative to
single and high-cost enterprise systems, Ipswitch offers WhatsUp Gold
Distributed Edition. Built upon the award-winning WhatsUp Gold core
architecture, WhatsUp Gold Distributed is a fully-featured network
management and application monitoring solution purposely designed to
handle complex geographically dispersed multi-site networks. WhatsUp Gold
Distributed Edition utilizes Central and Remote software installations.
All installations offer local network monitoring and management, and
alerts, notifications and reporting data are forwarded from remote sites
to the central site for action and analysis.

Powerful multi-site management without the complexity or
cost.
In addition to the core feature
set available throughout the WhatsUp Gold product family, WhatsUp
Gold Distributed Edition adds to this foundation by providing a highly
scalable and low bandwidth solution with the following benefits:
- Decreases processing loads at central location, by dispersing
monitoring components to each remote site
- Supports alert dependencies that reduce false alarms due to WAN link
or provider equipment failures
- Provides real-time, centralized network management across multiple
locations with real-time status of each location in its own independent
dashboard
- Enables continuous monitoring, as each site can run independently
until connectivity is restored.
- Consolidates information from each remote site into actionable
intelligence for generation of over 150 reports, including SLAs levels.
- Minimizes traffic on WAN links between each remote site and the
central monitoring site as monitoring is localized at each remote site.
- Provides unlimited scalability, supporting any number of remote
sites from a single central NOC
- Ensures air tight security with 128-bit SSL encryption between each
remote network connection to central site. SSL over VPN can also be
configured.
WhatsUp Gold Distributed Edition provides enterprise organizations with
a flexible solution that enables them to reliably and securely manage
complex, disparate client network environments. It delivers the
visibility, intelligence and control of your network that you need
within a single
scalable solution at the lowest possible TCO. |
