• Automated failover across distributed remote sites

  The Failover Manager automates failover orchestration across geographically dispersed locations, reducing manual intervention and shortening recovery times. It continuously monitors device health, service status, and network conditions, initiating failover sequences in response to predefined events. This proactive approach helps protect critical applications, preserve service levels, and minimize user impact during outages. With policy-driven controls, you can tailor failover behavior to match the topology of your distributed environment, including WAN links, VPN tunnels, and remote data collectors.

• License for up to 750 devices

  This upgrade license expands your capacity to monitor and manage a large fleet of devices across multiple sites. Whether you operate branch offices, field deployments, or remote data centers, you gain the ability to oversee health checks, failover readiness, and automatic device rerouting for a substantial number of endpoints. The licensing model is designed to work in concert with your existing WhatsUp Gold deployment, preserving current configurations while extending coverage to meet growing demand. Built for scalability, it supports expanding needs as your network evolves without sacrificing performance or control.

• PC-based installation for quick deployment

  Install the Failover Manager on a Windows PC with a straightforward setup process. The installer is designed to streamline deployment, minimize downtime, and accelerate time-to-value. Once installed, connect the Failover Manager to your WhatsUp Gold server, import or define devices, and begin applying failover policies. The PC-based approach offers a flexible, cost-effective path to resilience, suitable for environments where dedicated server hardware is not available or preferred.

• Seamless integration with Progress WhatsUp Gold

  Built to complement WhatsUp Gold, the Failover Manager extends the platform’s monitoring intelligence with failover orchestration and distributed site visibility. Expect unified dashboards, centralized alerts, and coherent reporting that reflect failover states across all sites. This integration enables operators to correlate incidents, track recovery progress, and maintain a single source of truth for service continuity. The result is improved situational awareness and faster, more informed decision-making during disruptive events.

• Enhanced alerts, reporting, and performance insights

  Beyond protection, the upgrade delivers rich analytics and proactive notifications. Monitor failover events, response times, and recovery success across the licensed devices, and build custom reports and dashboards to meet internal and regulatory requirements. Deep visibility into health metrics helps you identify bottlenecks, optimize network routes, and continuously improve disaster recovery readiness. With clear, actionable data, teams can demonstrate uptime commitments, justify investments, and drive ongoing improvements in network resilience.

How to install Progress WhatsUp Gold Failover Manager for Distributed Remote Site

Follow these steps to deploy on a PC and begin protecting your distributed remote sites. This process is designed to be straightforward, with minimal downtime and clear configuration paths to ensure a smooth implementation.

• Step 1: Prepare your environment

  Verify that your Windows PC meets the general WhatsUp Gold prerequisites and has network access to the WhatsUp Gold server. Confirm that you have a stable network connection to remote sites and perform a backup of current WhatsUp Gold configurations to safeguard existing data and settings before starting the installation. A clear plan for device discovery and policy application helps accelerate onboarding and reduces post-install adjustments.

• Step 2: Run the installer

  Launch the Failover Manager installer and follow the guided prompts. Accept the licensing terms, select the installation directory, and configure the initial connection to the WhatsUp Gold environment. The installer typically automates key integration steps, ensuring that the Failover Manager can communicate securely with the core WhatsUp Gold instance and begin managing the designated devices.

• Step 3: Register your upgrade license

  Enter your upgrade license key for 750-device coverage and verify the license status. Activation confirms that the Failover Manager is authorized to monitor and orchestrate failover for the full licensed device set. Keep the license information accessible for audits and future license renewals or expansions.

• Step 4: Define devices and failover policies

  Import devices from WhatsUp Gold or manually add remote-site devices to the Failover Manager. Create failover policies that detail health checks, recovery actions, and prioritization rules aligned with your network topology. Consider baseline performance, service level expectations, and dependencies between primary and backup paths to ensure consistent failover behavior during incidents.

• Step 5: Validate and monitor

  Run initial health checks, simulate failover scenarios in a controlled window, and verify that alerts, dashboards, and reports reflect the intended state. Establish a monitoring cadence and schedule regular reviews to maintain preparedness. Document lessons learned from tests and adjust policies to continuously improve recovery times and service availability across all remote sites.
