Twenty years and counting in business and WhatsUp Gold just keeps getting better!
We’re excited to announce our largest release in the history of Ipswitch WhatsUp Gold today – v14.2.
We couldn’t have done it without our customers – literally. You guys are responsible for the development and inclusion of four new major features:
- Business hour reporting was the #1 requested feature
- Blackout summary notifications was the #4 most requested feature
- Errors and discards monitoring was the #6 most requested feature
- PDF scheduled/email reports was the #9 most requested feature.
We are also releasing two new plug-ins:
-WhatsUp Gold WhatsVirtual – Now you can monitor and manage both physical and virtual VMWare environments from a single console!
-WhatsUp Gold Failover Manager – Keep your peace of mind that your WUG data will be safe with this secondary WUG Server in the case of a primary server failure.
In addition we’ve made many improvements to three of the four other plugins, WhatsUp Gold Flow Monitor, WhatsUp Gold WhatsConnected and WhatsUp Gold WhatsConfigured.
But I’ll let you hear about it from the Guru. Don’t forget to check out our YouTube or Viddler channel for a complete set of tutorial videos for this release!
