WhatsUp Gold Spotlight on James Mercer - Director of IT, Flexi-Van Leasing, Inc.
The shift from technology-driven to business-driven IT positively influences the customers who ultimately determine profitability. “The customer base sees a shift and is reassured that you are aware of problems, you are aware of status, and you are actively working to correct problems – this matters for both internal and external customers.” With WhatsUp Gold as his network monitoring ally, Mercer can carry out his mission of revitalizing IT departments and transforming IT into a strategic business partner faster and with less cost. “It’s hard for WhatsUp Gold to disappoint. It really does everything.”
Flexi-Van Leasing, Inc.
When Jim Mercer arrived as IT Director of Flexi-Van in 2010, he had already used WhatsUp Gold to clean up the network in three other companies. “I knew that WhatsUp Gold would essentially do everything I wanted right out of the box – and with a little extra work, I could get it to measure and monitor nearly anything else.”
At the time, Flexi-Van had no tools to look at the health of the network, alert IT staff of problems, or study historical utilization and reliability. When IT had a problem, they knew it because customers were calling them. It was a challenge Mercer had met before, and he quickly put WhatsUp Gold to work.
The Kendall Corporation
More than 1,200 users on a network spanning eight states in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and Midwest rely on Kendal’s IT network to manage the company’s continuing care retirement communities. The Kendall Corporation needed to maintain optimal network health 24 hours a day so they turned to WhatsUp Gold.
Close Premium Finance
Where technology has allowed Close Premium Finance to deliver market leading services to its customers, it relies heavily on its network to ensure that the services are delivered in a timely manner and with maximum uptime and availability. Ipswitch’s WhatsUp Gold allows Close Premium Finance to monitor its valuable assets within the network. From saving valuable time hunting for faults within the network, Close Premium Finance is able to pin point the exact location of a fault and rectify it without wasting an engineers’ time to go and spend hours looking for a fault in the vast network. Through utilising the alert system built into WhatsUp Gold, the Network Support team is able to keep up-to-date on what is happening within the network in out of hours ensuring that the end users within Close Premium Finance suffer minimal downtime.
Pacific Consolidated Industries
When George Hicks joined Pacific Consolidated Industries, he inherited a network infrastructure "fraught with errors, misconfigured services...and out of date systems." He also discovered a complex network of servers and mission‐critical PCs that were both physical systems and a few DR systems in a virtualized VMware environment. He soon realized that in order to effectively do his job he would need to proactively monitor all of PCI's systems. Compared to other solutions he considered, Hicks discovered that WhatsUp Gold was less costly, less complex to install, and richer in features.
LodgeNet Interactive Corporation
During any hotel stay 98% of guests turn on the television, and 87% log on to the Internet. When they do, they’re usually tapping into TV and networks managed by LodgeNet Interactive Corporation, the leading provider of media and connectivity solutions to the hospitality industry.
Clayton Financial Firm
WhatsUp Gold became Clayton’s primary network monitoring solution in 2008, when it replaced a nimbus solution that managed only Windows systems. At that time, the company paid $44,000 to nimbus for support. After moving to WhatsUp Gold, support costs dropped more than 90 percent.
O’Neill Europe
O’Neill required a high-performance network monitoring solution that would enable seamless multi-site infrastructure management, including around-the-clock monitoring of CPU utilization, disk utilization, bandwidth utilization, memory utilization and Ping latency and availability.
United States Army Central Command
CENTCOM needed a network monitoring application that could be installed quickly, immediately pinpoint the cause of network and power outages, and handle a complex, dynamic network topology. ORHA, under the direction of CENTCOM, chose WhatsUp® Gold for around-the-clock monitoring of applications, servers, devices, and network resources.
Manhattan Area Technical College
Providing “quality technical and general education to prepare individuals to pursue technologically advanced careers and lead productive lives” has been the mission of Manhattan Area Technical College (MATC) since 1965.

WhatsUp Gold vs. Open Source Network Management
In the network management arena, open source software alternatives provide a compelling argument against big vendors that sell high cost, monolithic systems. However, the central theme to their argument relies on "cost" — open source is 'free' compared to the 'high cost' commercial software. But is it really? In this brief we address the main myths around open source network management, and present WhatsUp Gold's affordable and comprehensive network management capabilities as a strong alternative capable of delivering lower TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) and greater value across the board.
Best Practices: IT Management for Educational Institutions
You're a network engineer at an educational institution, primary or secondary school, community college or university, challenged to support the day-to-day operation across distributed campuses for hundreds or thousands of students, faculty and staff. Are you constantly asked to do more with less? Are you looking for cost-effective ways to manage and secure your infrastructure?
Best Practices: Management & Compliance for Healthcare Industry Sector
To protect and secure electronic protected health information or patient records, you need to know who is accessing which systems and data, and what users are doing at all times. Records of all events taking place in your environment are being logged right now into event logs, W3C logs or Syslog files across your servers, workstations and networking devices. Think about it log files contain complete audit trails of access, additions, deletions or manipulation of key information (i.e. employee records, patient health data, etc.).
Best Practices: IT Management for Manufacturing
IT professionals working in the manufacturing sector must establish a secure, efficient and regulatory compliant IT infrastructure. With disparate plants and locations, a complex underlying infrastructure, mission-critical applications and operational flows spanning across suppliers, distributors, customers and retailers, your role is more challenging than ever before, so it’s mandatory to consolidate and leverage every possible IT resource – including your staff.

Secure Management for Government Networks
Securing your network is an ongoing battle for network managers overseeing government and DOD networks. Maintaining the highest possible security requires constant vigilance to ensure data and network integrity.
While you are paying diligent attention to configuring and maintaining access control lists (ACL) and other security mechanisms on routers/switches, IDS/IPS and firewalls, you may forget one aspect of network security policy that is equally as important – SNMP security.
Desktop Transformation: Steps for Migration to Virtual Desktop Infrastructure
Virtualization has entered many enterprises at the data center level, targeting server workloads. The promise of higher workload densities per physical server, improved management, enhanced security, platform flexibility and lower operating costs has positioned virtualization as an essential data center tool. Many organizations who have completed their data center transformation are now eyeing their desktops for a similar transformation. Virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) answers the call with its intrinsic ability to provision, protect and manage the desktop operating system (OS) independent of the underlying hardware.

The Shortcut Guide to Smart Network Management for the SMB
Small and midsize businesses (SMBs) are facing tough times in today's economy. Because of tighter budgets, many businesses must demand more from the investments they have made in Information Technology. Thus, there is an immediate need for networks to work smarter, not harder. This means that devices and systems on the network must maintain availability and continue performing efficiently at no additional cost to the business and the users. The challenge is daunting – from critical messaging systems to high-density virtual infrastructures, an administrator needs to discover, monitor, and track availability and performance across every device and system. The Shortcut Guide to Smart Network Management for the SMB provides an analysis of these challenges and a clear understanding of how smart network management can meet them.
Solving Network Problems Before They Occur
At best, network problems are a pain in the neck for IT. At worst, they stand in the way of your business' operations, and ultimately its livelihood. The difference between solving them quickly and standing around scratching your head is all about monitoring your network from the inside out. Cohesive management from a single integrated console with access to information from different sources allows you to correlate problem events fast. This is a critical step in ensuring a healthy network.
