What’s New in WhatsUp Gold 2017
❯ Intuitive, Fast UX
❯ Faster, More Effective Discovery
❯ Multiple Device Roles per Device
❯ Hyper-V Support
❯ Global Search
❯ IPv6 Support for NTA
It all starts with advanced discovery capabilities that identify everything connected to your network and automatically apply out-of-the-box or custom device roles to dramatically accelerate monitoring setup.
WhatsUp Gold 2017 provides a new way of visualizing and interacting with your entire IT environment. This unique interactive map quickly shows your end-to-end network health, providing the context of how everything is connected and dynamically responds to interactions to give you the fastest time-to-answers
The visualization can be dynamically filtered to gain immediate insight into your physical, virtual and wireless networks as well as their dependencies. See the big picture of your entire environment or focus in on Windows, virtual, or wireless resources. Zoom in to drill down to details on specific areas or devices. Or zoom out to see what you are working on in big-picture context. Customize the map to display your environment geographically (on a map or floor plan), by category (by connection, application or traffic type) or any other layout you can imagine.
WhatsUp Gold 2017 lets you view your entire physical, virtual and wireless infrastructure and their interdependencies in context directly fromthe interactive map. Click on any device to get immediate access to a wealth of related monitoring settings and reports. The result is simpler, more intuitive troubleshooting that lets you find and fix problems faster than ever.
Proactively monitor networks, traffic, physical servers, VMs and applications with powerful and easy-to-use maps, dashboards and alerts.
WhatsUp Gold 2017 streamlines workflows by letting you initiate management tasks directly from the interactive map. Easily switch between physical, virtual, wireless and dependency views to accelerate root cause analysis.
WhatsUp Gold 2017 also features Ipswitch’s unique TotalView licensing. TotalView allows you to monitor any mix of networks, severs, virtual machines, applications, traffic flows and configurations across Windows, LAMP, Java and cloud environments. More importantly, you can do it all with one flexible license that allows you to mix and match what you are monitoring at will.
There’s no need to purchase technology specific licenses for applications, network devices or network flow sources - they’re all included. And you can reallocate those licenses wherever and whenever you want without additional cost. You get unprecedented freedom to restructure your monitoring requirements at will while eliminating artificial limitations that can result in the unnecessary expense of unused, technology specific licenses.
Some of the new features in WhatsUp Gold 2017 include:
Intuitive and Map-Focused UX
WhatsUp Gold 2017 is designed to be the window to your network; it allows you to visualize the way your network is laid out and from this view easily diagnose issues or potential trouble spots. No longer are system administrators stuck working from a lengthy list of devices that require generating a mental representation of their network, now they can ensure every one of their users will instantly understand the network topology. With the ability to filter the map to display a particular device or even devices with specific monitor states, a user can refine the view to speed issue resolution.
Through the use of modern browser technology all of this is accomplished using an interface with real-time response. No more waiting on pages to refresh when zooming in on a particular area of the map or a particular device. A single click can provide enhanced details for connectivity dependencies, wireless and virtualization, displaying those details instantly on the map. This innovative approach provides a faster and more intuitive way to manage and monitor the network while accelerating and simplifying training of additional users.
Dynamic, Interactive and Consolidated Reporting
The new reporting interface of WhatsUp Gold 2017 streamlines a number of reports to make it easier for a user to quickly collect, refine and deliver the information they need. Whether they are filtering by a device, a specific time period, or even a particular view, all of these refinements are just a click away. Users can even pin filter choices to make them apply to multiple reports, further simplifying the consolidation of information necessary to make informed decisions about critical areas of their network.
More Thorough, Intelligent and Friendly Discovery
Discovery is all new for WhatsUp Gold 2017 with a focus on improving accuracy, detail and speed. The new discovery engine is truly a discovery process in that it doesn't just scan your network but tries to discover or learn more about your network so that the information can be
used to provide an accurate visual representation. While standard discovery tools are still utilized, the new Seed Scan discovery engine will also use routing protocols and tables to understand the architecture of the network.
The new discovery engine will also work to eliminate the possibility of duplicate devices that could have multiple interfaces. This alone allows for a more accurate representation of the network while providing a more efficient use of licensing. All of this accomplished with less stress on the network being monitored as processes have been implemented to eliminate issues with ping floods most often associated with discoveries.
Multiple Device Roles Per Device
With the ability to assign a role and multiple sub-roles for each device, WhatsUp Gold 2017 can now dynamically assign multiple monitors automatically even across multiple technologies (i.e. firewalls, routers, switches, VPN devices, WLC, etc.). WhatsUp Gold 2017 can also automatically assign a role and multiple sub-roles to devices during discovery. Should additional roles be needed over and above the standard roles, then users can create custom roles.
Hyper-V Support
WhatsUp Gold has supported virtualized network for a while, but the automatic discovery and enhanced monitoring was limited to VMware environments. With the launch of WhatsUp Gold 2017 a user can now discover and monitor Hyper-V environments as well.
IPV6 Support in Network Traffic Analysis
WhatsUp Gold 2017 gathers NetFlow reporting and analysis data from IPV6 devices and networks, ensuring that it not only delivers a comprehensive monitoring solution for todays' widely-implemented IPV4 networks, but will continue to support your network as you move to expand your IP range with IPV6.
Global Search
WhatsUp Gold 2017 allows users to quickly find a device, a report, or 'Help" information specific to WhatsUp Gold. The global search is always available and allows users to quickly navigate through the product.
