convenient, easy-to-use file sharing and collaboration capability that assures data security, visibility
and audit trails.
Thousands of IT teams depend on Ipswitch’s WS_FTP Server software for the unique business-grade
features required to assure reliable and secure transfer of critical data. WS_FTP Server is available in
three editions – Basic, Secure and Premium – specifically designed with customers’ budgetary and
security needs in mind. WS_FTP Server delivers flexibility to create a more efficient and customized
file transfer process for specific organizational needs.
WhatsUp Gold 2018 was released earlier this year with major enhancements, including performance
monitoring of Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure cloud deployments, Meraki cloud
managed wireless systems and Dell Compellent storage devices. Ipswitch’s customers now have an
