“up.time’s solution set is getting more notice from analyst groups today because of up.time’s ability to meet the many needs of the IT department well within their budgets. With capabilities that include service level monitoring and reporting, server monitoring, VMware monitoring, virtual system monitoring and management, capacity planning, application monitoring, and cross-platform monitoring (Solaris, AIX, Windows, Linux, HP/UX, Novell and VMware), more Fortune 1000 companies are turning to up.time as the cost effective way to manage and monitor their virtual and physical servers and applications,” explains Nick Johnson, Director of Marketing at uptime software.

While this new podcast covers IT systems management, it focuses on how companies can get started with IT service level management and monitoring. The Podcast stresses that IT service level agreements should not be a complicated process. Tips from the Podcast include:

• Get a Fast Start: Look for solutions that can be implemented quickly so the IT department and business units can begin to see value in days not months
• Get Quick Wins to Build Momentum: Start small with one or two service levels and work out from there

up.time is the clear, new direction in monitoring and reporting in the IT environment. It is incredibly easy to deploy and use, and its deep and broad reach across platforms (Solaris, AIX, Windows, Linux, VMware, etc) and metrics make it ideal for enterprises up to 5000 servers. However, it’s the cost savings that make up.time a must have option for medium and large size enterprises. up.time can save companies up to 75% compared to the traditional methods of IT monitoring and reporting through helping companies double capacity and maintain performance without increasing hardware.

An enterprise version of up.time is available for a risk-free 14-day evaluation download at uptime’s website. uptime software’s world class support services are free during this evaluation period to help customers drive value from up.time in their environments.
