Progress WhatsUp Gold

Progress WhatsUp Gold is an enterprise network monitoring and infrastructure management platform that delivers comprehensive visibility into the performance, availability, and connectivity of network devices, physical servers, virtual machines, and cloud resources. Utilizing an advanced Layer 2/3 network discovery engine, WhatsUp Gold automatically scans enterprise subnets to discover connected hardware, creating dynamic, interactive topological network maps that visually depict device interconnections, VLAN configurations, and port statuses. The platform continuously monitors network health using SNMP, WMI, SSH, and REST API polling, tracking critical performance metrics such as bandwidth utilization, interface packet errors, CPU loads, and storage capacities. WhatsUp Gold features specialized add-on modules for deep network inspection: Network Traffic Analysis leverages NetFlow, sFlow, and IPFIX to identify bandwidth hogs and suspect traffic flows, Configuration Management automates configuration backups, detects policy violations, and enforces compliance with regulatory baselines and and Virtualization Monitoring tracks VMware and Hyper-V cluster performance. When performance anomalies or device failures occur, WhatsUp Gold issues multi-channel alerts via SMS, email, Slack, or webhook integrations to initiate automated self-healing scripts, empowering IT teams to resolve network issues before they disrupt business operations.
