The Easy Way to Monitor your Critical Windows Servers

Now there is a way to align your Windows infrastructure with your business objectives and have your enterprise under control.

The new Windows monitoring packs of VISUAL Message Center 6, powered by ThinkServer, simplify your life and improve the availability, performance and security of any number of Windows servers with unprecedented ease of use.

VISUAL Message Center can handle from the smallest workgroup to the largest, internationally distributed Windows farms. Prepackaged knowledge, smart defaults, clear messages will help you shine as uptime, security and performance improves like never before

Full Monitoring Coverage
VISUAL Message Center can reach where other packages cannot. Synthetic transactions will alert you to the real status of your Exchange servers. Our database monitors will increase your SQL Server availability. And our unique, powerful text file monitoring engine can highlight the only problem event from a multimillion-line IIS web log in real time. Plus, all the Windows agents you would expect from a high-end monitoring product.

SLA Support
Life is not an on/off game. Every day can be good, bad, or very good. Why settle for monitoring products that only can tell you if something is either perfect or a disaster? The advanced Tango/04 ThinkServer architecture can help you set different, customizable thresholds for each monitored object, perfectly differentiating when things go fully wrong, have a minor or major issue, present a critical problem, or fulfill your company standards.

Extensible Architecture
Add more monitors. Control other platforms, databases, and network devices. Add your own ThinAgents or custom WMI checks. Consolidate events coming from your existing monitoring products. There are no limits for anything you may want to monitor. And the same is true for integration: VISUAL Message Center 6 can be easily integrated with practically any application, product, help desk or framework.
