WhatsUp Gold Failover Manager | Upgrade License for 750 Devices

The WhatsUp Gold Failover Manager Upgrade License for 750 devices is a powerful, scalable upgrade designed to extend your network monitoring and disaster recovery capabilities without the need for additional hardware. Tailored for IT teams who rely on continuous visibility and uptime, this upgrade unlocks support for up to 750 devices, enabling comprehensive failover management, centralized monitoring, and rapid incident response across your entire infrastructure. Installed on a Windows PC, this license complements Progress WhatsUp Gold’s robust feature set, delivering reliable high-availability monitoring that keeps critical applications and devices online even during outages or maintenance windows. Whether you manage a growing campus, multiple branch offices, or a data center, the 750-device upgrade ensures you have the capacity to monitor, alert, and respond across a broad landscape of devices, services, and endpoints.

  • The upgrade license expands your WhatsUp Gold Failover Manager to monitor and orchestrate failover across up to 750 devices, providing scalable coverage for mid-to-large environments. It supports diverse device types—from servers and workstations to network appliances and IoT endpoints—so your entire IT footprint stays observable and protected. With this license, you can plan capacity for future growth, implement more comprehensive alerting rules, and enforce consistent HA workflows across your monitoring stack.
  • Designed for PC-based deployment, the Upgrade License lets you install the Failover Manager on a standard Windows PC or workstation that meets the recommended system requirements. The installation integrates smoothly with your existing WhatsUp Gold environment, preserving current configurations, dashboards, and alert rules while extending capabilities. This approach minimizes disruption and enables a gradual, non-invasive upgrade path that aligns with IT change-management processes.
  • Core failover and high-availability features are front and center. The Failover Manager coordinates automatic failover paths, keeps synchronized configuration between primary and secondary collectors, and ensures alerts and data are routed correctly even if a node becomes unavailable. This means faster recovery, reduced downtime, and improved service levels for critical applications, databases, and network services that rely on continuous monitoring.
  • Beyond failover, the 750-device license enhances centralized visibility and control. You gain unified dashboards, status views, and consolidated reporting for all monitored devices, with scalable alerting and notification workflows. SNMP, WMI, and other standard monitoring protocols remain fully supported, enabling seamless discovery, auto-discovery workflows, and customizable views that match your organizational structure and SLAs.
  • Value and support come standard with the upgrade. The license is designed to complement your existing WhatsUp Gold installation, delivering long-term scalability, regular software updates, and vendor-backed technical support. This upgrade helps you maximize ROI by reducing downtime, simplifying device onboarding, and enabling efficient, proactive management of your IT environment across multiple sites.
