Ensure Service Levels with Proactive Outage Avoidance and Automated Healing

Strategic mid-enterprise IT departments want to focus on proactive IT management in order to provide better service to the business. up.time helps you get proactive with:  

  • Outage avoidance: Proactively identify infrastructure and application problems to find issues before they happen.
  • Automate: Set thresholds to automatically add or remove capacity as needed.
  • Optimize capacity: Graph capacity over time, and get alerted before potential capacity problems arise.
  • Service level management: Map business needs and services to the underlying IT infrastructure to ensure delivery. Automate management reports and graphs.

 

Quickly Prioritize and Then Isolate Problems to Save Time and Money

up.time alerts when problems occur, quickly pinpoints root causes, and can automate actions to stop outages from reoccurring in the future. Quickly prioritize IT issues and then triage performance rapidly and decrease mean time to repair (MTTR). Drill deep into advanced VMware metrics to optimize workloads for maximum density.

Manage, Measure, and Monitor VMware Infrastructure Efficiently to Drive Performance and Cost Savings

Reducing costs, improving efficiency, and managing complex IT environments is par for the course in today’s enterprise. While virtualization has helped enable associated initiatives, it has also created some hefty new challenges as well:

  • Do you have trouble managing VM sprawl?
  • Are you still reacting most of the time?
  • Are you wasting resources, time, and budget?
  • Do you need to plan and manage your VMware growth?

up.time 5, from uptime software, helps IT directors, IT managers, and system administrators plan, manage, and monitor their virtual infrastructure better. In addition, up.time’s powerful solution has gained praise from VMware, the leader in virtualization today. 

 

Cost-per-Physical-Server Licensing

Perhaps the biggest advantage with up.time 5 is its virtual-friendly pricing. uptime software has decided to buck the industry trend and provide what customers have been calling for: per-physical-server licensing. This model allows customers to spin up as many instances as they want on licensed servers at no additional cost, helping companies realize the true cost savings of virtualization.

  • “With up.time, rolling out to 250 servers across VMware, Solaris, Linux, and Windows was a snap and we didn’t have to pay for each virtual host; that’s a huge cost savings.”

“We looked at a stack of solutions, including the larger tier vendors, but the timelines to deployment and costs were not reasonable. I’d had a few recommendations from peers on up.time and it really stood out as a quick deployment and quick results software solution. I would absolutely recommend up.time, as they’re not just a product, but a company that has become more of a partner with us. I couldn’t be happier with it.”
