WhatsUp Gold Failover | 1500-Device PC Upgrade License
Elevate your network monitoring and ensure business continuity with the Progress WhatsUp Gold Failover Manager 1500-Device PC Upgrade License. This upgrade license unlocks a comprehensive suite of high-availability features on a Windows PC, enabling scalable failover management for up to 1500 devices. Built for IT teams that depend on real-time insights and maximum uptime, this license extends your existing WhatsUp Gold deployment with robust failover capabilities, centralized control, and a streamlined upgrade path that fits mid-size to large networks. With proactive health checks, automated failover, and unified visibility, you can safeguard critical services, shorten incident resolution times, and optimize overall IT reliability.
- Scalable device coverage and future-proof monitoring: The 1500-device capacity lets you monitor a broad mix of devices—routers, switches, firewalls, servers, virtual machines, and cloud-connected assets—from a single, centralized console. This license is designed to scale with your network as you expand to multiple sites or campuses, ensuring you don’t outgrow your monitoring solution. You gain unified visibility into device health, performance trends, fault domains, and capacity, all through intuitive dashboards and powerful filtering. With predefined failover groups, policy-based redundancy, and SLAs baked into the workflow, you’re prepared to respond quickly to outages across diverse environments, avoiding silos and data fragmentation.
- PC-based upgrade with seamless activation: This upgrade is applied on a Windows PC hosting WhatsUp Gold Failover Manager, avoiding costly hardware refreshes. Activation is key-driven and can be completed with minimal downtime, making it ideal for maintenance windows or live environments. The upgrade preserves your existing configuration, monitors, and alert rules, and unlocks the full feature set through the license without requiring a full reinstallation. This approach keeps the control plane local to your WhatsUp Gold deployment, simplifying license management and reducing latency for failover decisions while maintaining compatibility with your current monitoring stack.
- Automated, reliable failover for high availability: Core to any robust monitoring strategy, the Failover Manager automates failover decisions based on health checks, device status, and service dependencies. It supports near-zero downtime recovery by pre-warming failover paths, synchronizing state across primary and standby components, and enabling controlled failover testing. The upgrade empowers you to implement resilient DR-ready configurations, automatic failback after recovery, and policy-driven failover that minimizes manual intervention. With reliable failover, you protect critical dashboards, alerting streams, and data collection processes that your teams rely on every day.
- Centralized management, alerting, and reporting: The upgrade unlocks unified control across your WhatsUp Gold environment, letting you configure alerts, dashboards, and reports from a single pane of glass. Real-time notifications, trend analysis, and historical reporting support faster incident response, smarter capacity planning, and easier compliance demonstrations. You can tailor dashboards for on-call rotations, establish escalation workflows, and export professional reports for stakeholders. This centralization ensures consistent monitoring standards across all sites and devices, reducing fragmentation and enabling more effective IT governance.
- Flexible deployment and cost-efficient licensing: The 1500-device upgrade is designed to maximize your existing WhatsUp Gold investment, delivering scalable capability without requiring separate licenses per site. The licensing model is straightforward and administrator-friendly, reducing overhead and enabling rapid deployment across distributed networks. It supports efficient integration with VMware environments, cloud platforms, and on-premises deployments where WhatsUp Gold resides, helping you optimize uptime, demonstrate ROI, and align with budgetary goals.
