Know Your Network with WhatsUp Gold.
We’ve all been there before. Even on the best-designed networks,
problems can occur anywhere and at anytime. Unanticipated traffic
spikes can overload an interface. Routers and switches can slow
down. For no apparent reason and in a matter of minutes, the
network you’re responsible for can grind to a halt. Now your
entire company is relying on you to save the day. Some might
say it’s an even tougher job trying to find and resolve the

Intelligent and Easy to Use
With WhatsUp Gold’s intelligent management platform, you’ll
have complete visibility into your entire network infrastructure
with minimal care and feeding. If a problem occurs, WhatsUpGold
quickly informs you if network resources are being taxed beyond
their intended use, enabling you to proactively respond and
correct the situation before any service is disrupted. Using
the latest standards in network management protocols (including
SNMP V3), WhatsUp Gold makes your job easy – by ensuring your
infrastructure is running and performing at the desired level
of service.
 Sophisticated
Network Monitoring
WhatsUp Gold doesn’t rely on just the basics for managing
your network. Instead, a sophisticated strategy of both active
and passive monitoring mechanisms is used to track the status
and health of network devices. For example, periodic active
monitors like ping or polling an SNMP MIB can provide availability
and performance characteristics. Enhancing that data, WhatsUp
Gold can preemptively alert you to changes in network by listen
for SNMP traps and syslog messages from the devices which comprise
your infrastructure.
Going Beyond Availability
WhatsUp Gold performance monitoring extends your network
visibility beyond simple up-down availability. Performance metrics
like CPU, memory and interface utilization provides deeper insight
into the health of the device over time. Additional information
from the Flow Monitor plug-in enables you to easily identify
the actual causes of network traffic congestion, whether internal
or external. Data collected by the Flow Monitor plug-in
can even thwart malicious access to company infrastructure.
Comprehensive Troubleshooting
WhatsUp Gold’s network, system, and application monitoring
capabilities provide context-based visibility into performance
problems, enhancing your triage skills and enabling you minimize
the time spent on problem resolution. For example, with a quick
glance you can see which services and applications are impacted
if the device goes down. With this information in hand, you
can quickly prioritize trouble tickets and deal with the most
business critical problems first.
 Typical
Problem Solving Scenarios
The WhatsUp Gold enables you to rapidly identify and resolve
infrastructure performance problems. With WhatsUp Gold, you
can:
- Track router and switch performance, including memory
and CPU, to ensure network slowdowns are not resulting from
an overloaded device
- Use thresholds to proactively track interface utilization
and availability, an interface with sudden spikes or utilization
increases may mean either a misuse of resources (e.g, streaming
video or audio) or possibly an external attack on your network
- Quickly troubleshoot routing issues – an overloaded
router CPU can cause the router to fail to send routing
updates to other routers
- Monitor interface utilization over time to ensure network
resources are sized appropriately. Long-term capacity reporting
can uncover underutilized resources (resulting in cost savings)
as well as soon to be over utilized resources
