Much More Than a PING Utility

PING Your Servers Regularly

A PING utility (Packet Internet Groper) verifies the connection to one or more remote hosts by sending a packet to a specified IP address, and then waiting for a reply. A PING tool is useful for determining whether a distant computer is successfully linked to the network, whether a particular IP address exists and is currently working, and for checking how fast a connection is. A PING utility can also be used for diagnosing IP network or router failures.

Check Server Health With PRTG's PING Sensor

PRTG Network Monitor is a Windows-based tool that makes it easy to detect network and website failures early. Besides PING it supports a variety of  sensors, among them PORT, HTTP, and DNS, to monitor devices and servers located on the Internet, on Intranets, and on VPN networks. It is also a great tool for wired and wireless network troubleshooting.

Does your company rely on a network or website to make money? If that is the case, you know how important a reliable monitoring solution is. PRTG Network Monitor is the PING utility that does more than detect failure as it happens. With PRTG, you can monitor all kinds if performance issues, and find out about problems before they get serious.
