 New in WhatsVirtual

Managing dynamic VMware environments in a separate console from your physical servers creates gaps in visibility since you can’t properly track and isolate problems as your physical server to VM mapping shifts over time.  So when problems happen, you don’t have an understanding of:

    * Which servers are hosting which virtual machines (VM’s);
    * How the servers have performed over time;
    * The cause of their failure, say, through automated restarts via VMware HA (High Availability)

This lengthens problem resolution times and makes optimal capacity planning impossible.

WhatsVirtual v2.0: Complete, reliable and seamless physical and VMware virtual environment monitoring from a single pane of glass now extends coverage to dynamic virtual machine live migrations.

WhatsVirtual v2.0 adds new capabilities as follows –

    * VMware vCenter Support

New in WhatsUp Gold Flow Monitor

New IP converged applications like VoIP, video conferencing or file sharing may be dynamically assigned UDP and TCP ports. Other enterprise or web service based apps may communicate via multiple ports and IP ranges. Your goal as a network manager is to ensure that you have full visibility into the nature of all application traffic and the bandwidth that they consume. Also, as you set policies for Quality of Service (QoS) you need to track pre and post policy performance. Only then can you be assured that your network is ready for optimal performance.

WhatsUp Gold Flow Monitor: Powerful reporting, real-time alerting and broad flow monitoring support across all industry standard protocols now extends support for dynamic application usage and advanced QoS analysis.

WhatsUp Gold Flow Monitor adds new capability as follows -

• Intelligently identify, classify and oversee NBAR (Network Based Application Recognition) traffic, including difficult-to-classify protocols and applications that utilize dynamic TCP/UDP port assignments.
• Provide full visibility into pre and post policy traffic usage, including dropped packets through advanced CBQoS (Class Based Quality of Service) support.
• Enable users to configure and associate multiple ports and IP ranges for any application, so top application reports will show real application usage from multiple data points.
• Visualize network traffic information and reports using new stacked time charts to fully understand traffic evolution over time.
• Dynamically  change network traffic views and reports  by adding or removing specific sources

With WhatsUp Gold Flow Monitor, you can manage all your network and application traffic and ensure the success of network traffic prioritizations and other policies. Evaluate or buy your WhatsUp Gold (includes Flow Monitor) license today!
