Paessler Unveils the Uptime Alliance

Paessler's new partner program fosters collaboration and empowers participants to incorporate network monitoring into their solutions while offering improved services

WAKEFIELD, Mass. and NUREMBERG, Germany, May 3, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Paessler AG, the innovative network monitoring specialist, today unveiled the Uptime Alliance, a new technology partner program designed to help the company's partners include network monitoring functionality in their offerings to help clients prevent the downtime of critical IT systems. Paessler's PRTG Network Monitor is a powerful, affordable and easy-to-use unified monitoring solution relied on by more than 200,000 system administrators worldwide.

With PRTG, system administrators can monitor the health and performance of their entire infrastructure, including networks, systems, hardware, applications and devices - all in real time. The Uptime Alliance builds on PRTG's capabilities and fosters collaboration with technology partners to provide integrated and combined solutions that ensure the maximum uptime of IT infrastructure and the business processes and functions they make possible.

"We're joining forces with our partners to ensure 100 percent uptime," said Christian Twardawa, CEO of Paessler. "The ramifications can be severe when important systems go down, which is why IT teams and system administrators must know at all times what is occurring across their infrastructure and be alerted immediately when problems arise. By offering our partners seamless integration with PRTG and creating purpose-built sensors for their solutions, we provide our shared customers with unprecedented peace of mind."

With intuitive and highly-customizable dashboards and more than 200 pre-configured sensors, PRTG monitors everything from the overall health of the network infrastructure to granular details like the performance and temperature of individual devices and the revolutions-per-minute of the fans within them.

Custom sensors are also easily created and integrated with PRTG and enable IT leaders to embrace pivotal computing trends like the internet of things with confidence. PRTG sends alerts to administrators when any pre-determined performance thresholds of their choosing are met or when any problems arise that impact the overall health of the network - all in the form they prefer, including email, SMS, etc.

Paessler already offers sensors designed specifically for turn-key performance with some of the best-known and most respected IT brands and is a member of the Cisco Solution Partner Program, the HPE Technology Partner Program, the NetApp Alliance Partner Program and VMware's Technology Alliance Partner (TAP) program. The Uptime Alliance builds on the spirit of those efforts, creates new use cases for PRTG and provides partners with a framework they can use to easily integrate their own products with PRTG. Charter members of the Uptime Alliance include:

    --  AppSphere: With ScriptRunner from AppSphere, Paessler integrates a
        powerful event automation platform into PRTG Network Monitor.

        accurate network discovery, detailed device inventory and automatic
