Ipswitch, a Massachusetts-based IT management software provider, this week unveiled the 2017 Plus versions of its MOVEit secure file transfer and WhatsUp Gold network monitoring tools at the Infosecurity Europe conference in London.
MOVEit 2017 Plus features multi-factor authentication capabilities, along with various enhancements designed to "simplify use, reduce implementation time and accelerate onboarding of new business partners," Ipswitch said in a prepared statement.
WhatsUp Gold 2017 Plus adds more flexible monitoring and visibility for the largest networks, according to Ipswitch. It delivers architectural flexibility with distributed monitoring capabilities, new managed service provider (MSP) capabilities and advanced real-time visibility features, Ipswitch pointed out.
Both MOVEit 2017 Plus and WhatsUp Gold 2017 are expected to be available this summer.
MOVEit 2017 Plus also will be available in the Microsoft Azure Marketplace later this summer to help users implement MOVEit directly on the Microsoft Cloud Platform, Ipswitch stated.
In addition, Ipswitch plans to update WhatsUp Gold to enable monitoring of hybrid IT environments that use Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services (AWS), the company said.
