Progress WhatsUp Gold Failover Manager for Distributed Remote Site + 3 Years Service Agreement - License Reinstatement - 25 Device

This comprehensive license reinstatement package delivers Progress WhatsUp Gold Failover Manager for distributed remote sites, bundled with a 3-year service agreement and coverage for up to 25 devices. It is designed to keep mission-critical applications online across remote locations by providing smart failover orchestration, proactive monitoring, and centralized control from a PC. Built for network operations teams, this solution combines rapid recovery, scalable device support, and ongoing access to updates and expert support, ensuring your distributed environment remains resilient in the face of outages, upgrades, or unexpected disruptions.

• Seamless failover across distributed remote sites: The Failover Manager continuously monitors the health and status of devices and links across multiple locations. It automatically detects outages, fails over critical services, and re-routes traffic to standby paths or alternative devices, reducing downtime and preserving essential business operations. With intelligent failure thresholds and rapid recovery, your remote sites stay synchronized and responsive, even during complex network events.
• Centralized visibility and orchestration: A unified management plane provides real-time dashboards, topology maps, and actionable alerts for all remote sites. Operators gain at-a-glance insights into device health, failover status, and service availability, enabling faster incident response. This centralized visibility simplifies policy management, makes capacity planning easier, and helps ensure consistent failover behavior across the entire distributed environment.
• License reinstatement with a 3-year service agreement: This package includes license reinstatement, ensuring you can recover or transfer your license if needed, along with a 3-year service agreement that covers software updates, security patches, and premium support. You’ll benefit from sustained access to the latest features, performance enhancements, and timely guidance from Progress experts, helping you maximize value and minimize risk over the long term.
• 25-device scalability for growing networks: Designed to scale with mid-sized networks, the 25-device license provides broad coverage for distributed deployments without forcing early upgrades. Manage a heterogeneous mix of devices—routers, switches, servers, and appliances—across multiple sites from a single console. The result is streamlined license management, predictable budgeting, and a smoother path to future expansion as your network evolves.
• PC-based deployment with quick-start access to all features: Unlock the full set of WhatsUp Gold Failover Manager capabilities by installing on a PC. The solution is optimized for fast onboarding, enabling network teams to configure failover groups, define recovery policies, and begin monitoring with minimal setup. This approach reduces hardware requirements, supports flexible lab-to-production transitions, and makes it easier to test and validate failover scenarios before production cutovers.

If you are transferring licenses or reinstating a previous installation, use the license reinstatement process as guided by the installer and support documentation.
• Configure devices and sites: Access the Failover Manager console and add the remote devices and sites that require protection. Define relationships between primary and standby resources, set health checks, and establish failure thresholds. Group devices by site, service, or application to simplify monitoring and failover orchestration.
• Create failover policies and test failover: Define failover policies that specify how traffic should be redirected during outages. Schedule regular failover tests to validate recovery times, confirm policy behavior, and verify end-to-end service continuity. Review dashboards and alert settings to ensure warnings are delivered to the appropriate teams through your preferred channels.
• Activate ongoing service and monitoring: With the 3-year service agreement in place, ensure automatic updates and support are enabled. Monitor performance, review health trends, and adjust thresholds as your network evolves. Plan periodic reviews to recalibrate policies as new devices join the network, or as site configurations change.
• Documentation and training: Take advantage of the included resources and support materials to train your staff on failover workflows, incident response, and best practices for maintaining distributed site resilience. Regularly consult the service agreement terms for updated guidance and new features released during the term.
