Ipswitch has announced the availability of WhatsUp Professional 2006 and WhatsUp Professional 2006 Premium Edition. Adding to the company’s long-established WhatsUp product family, WhatsUp Professional 2006 Premium Edition delivers application management as well as enhanced network management and monitoring features.

In combination with the product’s expanded reporting functions, additional standards compliance support and expanded notification options, these features elevate this offering above any competitive entry anywhere in today’s marketplace, claims the company.

Designed for the real-world, real-time environment of the typical SME, application management in WhatsUp Professional 2006 Premium Edition provides management of Microsoft’s Exchange and SQL Server-based applications as well as any WMI-compliant (Windows Management Instrumentation) applications.

WhatsUp Professional 2006 supports SNMP Versions 1, 2 and 3. The protocol supports the monitoring of network-attached devices for any conditions that warrant administrative attention. This is a key feature because it significantly speeds implementation of the new product, streamlines its use, and dramatically eliminates the complications often imposed by products built on proprietary protocols, according to Ipswitch.

In addition, the product offers expanded HTML-based reporting for all network devices and applications. Reports now include enhanced statistical and performance measurements and the number of standard reports has been substantially increased to make it even easier to understand network and application performance and availability.

WhatsUp Professional 2006 provides Web content monitoring, router bandwidth monitoring and trend analysis, an expanded library of predefined reports, enhancements to recurring reports, Web alarms, pagers notifications and database tools. Every WhatsUp Professional 2006 system includes a one-year Ipswitch Service Agreement, which combines unlimited telephone and e-mail technical support with system upgrades and maintenance.

‘With products like WhatsUp Professional 2006 we at Ipswitch are defining this generation of great software for SMEs,’ said Ipswitch’s Director of product marketing, David Karp. ‘That definition in part is met when a sophisticated software application solution to a complex situation provides immediate value that virtually anyone can use, everyone can understand and which generates a network view that is useful. An overabundance of non-essential, peripheral information may pass as ‘sophisticated’ among some providers. At Ipswitch, the sophistication happens in the reliable, highly visual, delivery and presentation of core data points of specific, timely relevance to network and application efficiency.’

Available immediately, WhatsUp Professional 2006 Premium Edition is available in three configurations: Up to 100 devices (£1468); up to 300 devices (£2115); and unlimited devices (£2938).
