| | Make-A-Wish Foundation assures dreams come true with WhatsUp Gold
The Make-A-Wish Foundation is utilizing Ipswitch s WhatsUp Gold software to monitor and manage the organization s worldwide network and maintain network continuity. The nonprofit Make-A-Wish Foundation, with 79 chapters in the U.S. and 23 international affiliates around the world, selected WhatsUp Gold to ensure the continual uptime of its mission-critical network services, including its critical donation server, so that foundation resources can be focused on more important activities, like making children s dreams come true.
Employees are being asked to trust that their data will be safe, accessible, and secure on the group server. It is critical we have a high-quality tool to monitor our file, financial, and donation servers that won t break the bank, said Jim Toy, director of information technology at the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Ipswitch s WhatsUp Gold reliability is outstanding and has proven time and again that it can grow with our network to continually meet our needs.
Highlighting the importance of reliability, the Make-A-Wish Foundation receives nearly 15 percent of all non-corporate donations via its Web site, which WhatsUp Gold monitors to facilitate 24x7 uptime.
WhatsUp Gold is a graphical network mapping, monitoring, reporting, and notification solution that provides a variety of views into the Make-A-Wish Foundation s network status in real-time alerting administrators when monitored devices and services become unavailable, said Kelly Anderson, WhatsUp Gold product marketing manager at Ipswitch. The successful deployment at the Make-A-Wish Foundation is a testament to our commitment to delivering affordable, all-in-one network management solutions that offer the performance and capabilities that small-to-midsized companies require.
The Make-A-Wish Foundation grants the wishes of children with life-threatening illnesses to enrich the human experience with hope, strength, and joy. It is the largest wish-granting organization in the world. Since being founded in 1980, the Make-A-Wish Foundation has granted more than 97,000 wishes to children.
