    Ipswitch, Inc., developers of the WhatsUp Gold suite of IT Management solutions
[http://www.whatsupgold.com ], today released version 16 (v16) of its software - the most
powerful, robust and cost-effective performance monitoring software available in its
class. WhatsUp Gold v16 comes loaded with unmatched out-of-the-box functionality,
including comprehensive network, server and application monitoring, automated layer 2
discovery and mapping

[http://www.whatsupgold.com/technology/network-management/wireless-network-monitoring/index.aspx ]
and hardware and software asset reporting
[http://www.whatsupgold.com/glossary/network-discovery-tool/asset-inventory.aspx ] - all in
a single, downloadable application.

    WhatsUp Gold v16 removes the hassles, complexity and costs associated with
enterprise-grade IT management. The software's single pane of glass interface integrates
all network, system and application management tools into one web-based console, providing
administrators with a central hub for everything IT management, and a simple means to
maintain a healthy, strong and secure IT infrastructure.

    "There's been a gaping hole in the IT management space for years. Small and mid-sized
businesses had to depend on watered-down solutions, while Fortune 500s were burdened with
the complexities of management platforms that took months to deploy and large staffs to
manage," said Ronnie Ray, Vice President of Marketing and Product Management at Ipswitch's
Network Management Division. "WhatsUp Gold v16 fills this gap with powerful and scalable
enterprise-level functionality, minus the hassles and at a price that any size business
can afford."

    No other vendor in the marketplace provides as much out-of-the-box functionality as
WhatsUp Gold. New functionality offered at no additional cost in WhatsUp Gold v16 Premium
Edition includes:

       
        - Wireless infrastructure management to monitor wireless bandwidth, track
          BYOD trends and stay vigilant against rogue devices.
        - Layer 2 discovery and mapping for visual insight into the connectivity between
          wired and wireless devices, immediate access to performance information directly from
          the map, and the ability to automatically set monitoring rules and dependencies that
          speeds up problem resolution.
        - Asset and inventory reporting to automatically discover, monitor and report on
          network and software assets and associated warranty information.

    "Everything about WhatsUp Gold's v16 breathes simplicity. The single Web console saves
us valuable time by enabling our team to monitor our national network from one screen,"
said Michael O'Quin, a Network Administrator at Pacific Retirement Services. "The core
functionality is really impressive; we expect the wireless management and VMware
monitoring capabilities to have a real impact on our operations."

    Backed by a distributed architecture, WhatsUp Gold v16 is completely scalable from the
startup to the enterprise, capable of powering organizations with as little as 25 devices,
or as many as 20,000. The device-based pricing model
[http://www.whatsupgold.com/products/compare/?k_id=hpbanner6a ] eliminates buyer confusion
and saves companies money by ensuring that organizations only pay for what they need. The
single-pane-of-glass interface dramatically reduces the costs associated with deploying
multiple, high-maintenance solutions in a single environment.

    Pricing for WhatsUp Gold v16 starts at $1595. A free 30-day trial is available to
download from the WhatsUpGold website. The single-footprint download and easy installation
will have IT managers up and running in minutes.
