Monitor Your Network Using iPhone™, BlackBerry® and Other PDAs
Ipswitch WhatsUp Gold v12.4 with Mobile Access puts network management and network monitoring information in the palm of managers’ hands.
Lexington, MA, March 20, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Ipswitch Inc.’s Network Management division, the leading developer of network management software, released an innovative enhancement to the WhatsUp Gold family. The inclusion of Mobile Access makes WhatsUp Gold the first solution to provide visibility into and monitoring of IT networks in real time from mobile phones or personal digital assistants (PDAs).
“We believe pragmatic solutions, designed to solve a problem as opposed to creating a market, are the key. We spoke to the market and as of today, WhatsUp Gold v12.4 is the first and only network management solution enabling proactive diagnosis and resolution of network issues over a mobile device’s Internet connection without the need for platform or other changes,” announced Ennio Carboni, Vice President, Network Management for Ipswitch. “WhatsUp Gold is already a comprehensive product with superior real time diagnostic and predictive capabilities, but now users can benefit from the flexibility of having a proven network management solution in the palm of their hands.”
With innovative features such as one-click login, Device Views (access to device maps) and DirectLink notifications, WhatsUp Gold brings a whole new dimension of portability to network management, providing a secure and transparent window to your network’s status and NetFlow reporting from anywhere, at anytime.

"Efficient Forms has been using WhatsUp Gold for over 4 years and it has proven invaluable for monitoring our office, development and multiple data center deployments. I always know about issues or outages before my internal or external clients," states Chris Kasten, Director of Technical Operations. "The addition of mobile access saves precious minutes, as now I can immediately check reports and statuses from my smart phone.”
