With this upgrade, IT teams gain a scalable, future-ready foundation for monitoring more devices, servers, and network elements under a single umbrella. The 1500-device capacity is ideal for expanding branch offices, data centers, and hybrid environments, where rapid detection of issues and coordinated failover actions can prevent service interruptions. The license sits neatly on top of your current WhatsUp Gold Failover Manager setup, allowing you to preserve existing configurations, dashboards, and historical analytics while extending reach to new devices. By choosing the 1500-device upgrade, organizations can align their monitoring strategy with growth plans, ensuring that expansion does not outpace their tooling or personnel’s ability to respond effectively.
Beyond raw capacity, this upgrade emphasizes operational efficiency. It supports streamlined license management, reducing administrative overhead as you scale. Organizations can standardize alerting, escalation paths, and failover workflows across a broader environment, producing more consistent incident response and faster MTTR. The PC-based approach is particularly friendly for teams that operate in on-premise or hybrid setups, enabling administrators to manage the failover landscape from familiar workstations. The upgrade also helps preserve security posture by keeping licensing terms up to date and ensuring that monitoring and failover safeguards stay aligned with current network realities. In short, the 1500-device upgrade is more than a numbered increase—it’s a strategic upgrade to resilience, visibility, and control across complex IT ecosystems.
Whether you’re a managed service provider, a distributed enterprise, or a data-center-focused operation, the upgrade license provides a practical, cost-effective pathway to scale. It integrates with your existing WhatsUp Gold environment so you don’t lose lineage of dashboards, event rules, or historical performance data as you expand. As networks evolve with new endpoints, IoT devices, and acceptance of more diverse traffic patterns, having the capacity to monitor and protect them with a proven failover manager becomes a meaningful differentiator for reliability, customer satisfaction, and business continuity.
