Progress WhatsUp Gold Virtual Monitoring Upgrade License – 750 Devices PC Edition Network Control

Discover how the Progress WhatsUp Gold Virtual Monitoring Upgrade License empowers IT teams to extend powerful, real-time visibility across a busy, device-rich environment. This upgrade license is designed for Progress WhatsUp Gold’s PC Edition, enabling virtual monitoring capabilities for up to 750 devices. The upgrade path is ideal for organizations expanding their network footprint, modernizing their monitoring architecture, or migrating from smaller licenses while maintaining continuity of service. With a PC-based deployment, you gain centralized control, scalable performance analytics, and proactive alerting that helps prevent outages, optimize resource use, and streamline incident response. Whether you’re managing on-premises infrastructure, mixed environments, or growing virtualization workloads, this license provides the essential foundation to keep networks healthy, fast, and secure. The Virtual Monitoring Upgrade License focuses on delivering comprehensive device awareness, intuitive dashboards, and actionable insights that translate into measurable IT efficiency and better service levels for your business users.

• The Upgrade License for 750 devices unlocks scalable monitoring that grows with your network. Designed for organizations that are expanding their asset inventory, it ensures you can track critical servers, network gear, endpoints, and virtualized components from a single, centralized console. This license streamlines licensing complexity in environments where device counts increase over time, reducing the need for frequent license changes and enabling a seamless path to expansion as your IT landscape evolves.
• PC Edition with Virtual Monitoring delivers a flexible deployment model that fits standard office or data-center workstations. Install on a capable PC and harness WhatsUp Gold’s monitoring engine to collect, correlate, and visualize performance data across your entire environment. The PC-based approach minimizes hardware disruption, accelerates deployment, and provides a stable base for long-term monitoring operations without requiring dedicated server hardware for every monitoring task.
• Virtual Monitoring capabilities expand visibility beyond physical devices to virtualized infrastructure. Monitor virtual machines, clusters, and storage dependencies in real time, enabling you to identify bottlenecks, uptime risks, and capacity trends inside virtualization layers. Real-time metrics, historical trends, and customizable dashboards help you pinpoint spikes, plan growth, and maintain service levels even as workloads shift between physical and virtual realms.
• Unified network control with centralized dashboards and alerting ensures rapid incident response. The upgrade license consolidates monitoring across the IT stack—network devices, applications, servers, and virtual components—into a single pane of glass. Proactive alerts, threshold-based notifications, and intuitive reports empower network operations centers (NOC) and IT teams to detect issues early, reduce mean time to repair (MTTR), and keep critical services online for end users.
• Comprehensive reporting, analytics, and policy-based monitoring deliver clarity and accountability. Benefit from trend analysis, capacity planning, and performance dashboards that translate raw telemetry into actionable insights. The 750-device scope supports long-term capacity management, capacity planning for future growth, and compliance-ready reporting that demonstrates IT performance and reliability to leadership and auditors alike.
