A Dr. File Finder Favorite -- Servers Alive

If you're looking for a powerful network monitor that's easy-to-use, take a good look at Servers Alive, by bvba Woodstone. This product is quite simply loaded with features. Far more features than I can adequately cover here, but I'll hit the high points for you. For starters it can monitor any winsock service, but it can do so much more. Like determining the amount of disk space that's available or making sure that a particular process is running. Pretty slick. What really impressed me, however, is the number of ways Servers Alive can let you know when it detects that there's a problem.

If there's any kind of problem on your network Servers Alive can let you know in a variety of ways. It can play a sound, send you an e-mail or even page you! It can reboot a Windows server or even create a Web page! How slick is that? Very! And it can monitor up to 1,000 different hosts or services at one time, including things like Oracle databases, FTP, DNS, POP3, SMTP, SQL servers, UDP services and lots, lots more. If all this weren't enough, Servers Alive is the first product of its kind to support IPv6 enabled DNS checks as well as WAP pages that can be viewed on wireless devices. Imagine getting a SMS text message on your phone telling you about a network problem. Very nicely done!

Servers Alive, by bvba Woodstone, monitors critical systems and can keep you aware of exactly how things are going on your network. And when there's a problem, it can notify you in an impressive variety of ways. It has its fingers on the pulse of your network and it's always ready to let you know about trouble. It's powerful, yet easy-to-setup and run. This is a program that no network administrator should be without. Extremely impressive, I recommend it highly!! Try it out on your network! It's one of my Dr. File Finder Favorites!
