• Enhanced high-availability and failover management: This Premium Failover Manager elevates your network resilience by enabling automated failover orchestration, rapid failback, and centralized control across your monitored environment. It reduces downtime through proactive detection of faults, intelligent traffic redirection, and pre-defined contingency plans for mission-critical applications. With real-time visibility into failover events, administrators can respond faster, validate recovery workflows, and ensure continuity for essential services even during complex outages.
• Up to 1500 devices supported: Scale with confidence using a license that covers a substantial device footprint. The upgrade accommodates up to 1500 devices—including servers, network gear, virtual machines, endpoints, and IoT gateways—so you can consolidate monitoring under one powerful tool. This capacity supports multi-site deployments, large campus networks, and expanding infrastructure, while simplifying asset management and reducing the need for multiple licenses or disparate monitoring solutions.
• PC-based installation and rapid deployment: The installer is designed for quick onboarding on a Windows PC, minimizing disruption to daily operations. Guided setup, clear prompts, and streamlined license activation help you reach productive monitoring faster. A PC-hosted deployment provides a flexible, cost-efficient path for small to mid-sized IT teams, while preserving the robustness and scalability expected from Progress WhatsUp Gold Premium.
• Centralized monitoring with actionable visibility: Gain a holistic view of your network’s health through dashboards, alerts, topology maps, and consolidated performance data. The Premium edition offers richer analytics, configurable reporting, and drill-down capabilities that empower operators to pinpoint root causes, optimize resource allocation, and demonstrate value to stakeholders. This centralized approach reduces mean time to detection (MTTD) and supports proactive maintenance planning.
• Dedicated support and ongoing upgrades: The upgrade includes access to Progress support resources and software updates, ensuring your monitoring stays current with evolving technologies and security best practices. This adds peace of mind through predictable maintenance windows, priority assistance, and guidance on best practices for deployment, integration, and ongoing administration.

Follow the step-by-step prompts to install the Premium Failover Manager components, apply configuration presets, and configure initial monitoring settings. The installer typically performs prerequisite checks and guides you through network discovery.
• Configure discovery and onboarding: Set up device discovery rules to locate servers, network gear, and endpoints. Organize devices into logical groups or topologies that mirror your environment. Enable essential monitoring metrics and apply the recommended performance baselines to create a baseline view of normal behavior.
• Set up failover policies: Define automatic failover triggers, failover order, and recovery workflows aligned with your business continuity plan. Configure alerting thresholds, notification channels, and escalation rules to ensure timely response from the operations team during a fault condition.
• Add devices and customize dashboards: Import or add devices to monitor, assign monitoring profiles, and tailor dashboards to provide visibility relevant to your role (NOC, IT operations, or executive view). Validate data collection paths, verify integration with critical services, and confirm alert routing to the appropriate teams.
• Test and validate: Execute a controlled failover test to confirm continuity of services and performance under failover conditions. Review dashboards, event logs, and alerting to ensure accuracy and responsiveness. Schedule regular drills and maintenance windows to keep the failover plan current and effective.
