KeepAlive
was developed to be the answer to software application failures.
We define failures as an application aborting or an application in a
"non responding” state. Companies have been investing
thousands of dollars in redundant hardware to maximize reliability.
There are many hardware solutions that can accomplish minimum
downtime due to hardware failure. One very effective hardware
solution is called a Tandem-System. This system consists of two
servers connected together where one is called a "master"
and the other is called a "slave". If there is a
failure in the "master" server, the "slave"
would take over while the "master" is in a failure state.
Corporations have invested thousands in these type of systems,
however, none of these solutions will recover from a software failure
or if the software is hung.
PB
Software's KeepAlive has been designed to fill that void.
KeepAlive will ensure that applications running on these highly
redundant systems will continue to function. KeepAlive will
keep your critical business applications running and alert of a
failure and a restore.
KeepAlive
has been designed to be the application watchdog for all Windows
32bit and 64 bit applications. KeepAlive can monitor application
real-time status 24/7. It can also restart or just alert when a
program is in a 'non responding' state or if it has failed. KeepAlive
can distinguish between a non-responding program and a failed one.
Based on this fact, once KeepAlive detects a 'non responding'
program, it will start to use smart logic and analyze the program
status before stopping it and restarting it.
An
application during normal operation will sometimes fall into a
non-responding state. KeepAlive will ensure that the application it
is monitoring is not in a temporary 'Non Responding' before action is
taken. If the program has just failed, KeepAlive will
automatically restart it without analyzing the operating state.
KeepAlive Pro has many more features: memory manager, Internet stay
alive, monitor IP Pings, task manager,and more
KeepAlive
has been developed to give the IT industry an application that will
reside on the PC or Server and guard against prolonged application
failures. This is done by monitoring applications and network
connections on the Server or PC. There are many ways KeepAlive can be
configured to respond to failures. This applies to applications
that have failed and applications that are non responsive.
KeepAlive can take action when a failure exists. It can
restart the application, reboot the Server or PC, or initiate a
command line programmed by you the user. KeepAlive can also be
configured to alert in many different ways. Upon a failure
KeepAlive has the ability to provide, audio, multiple
visual, and e-mail alerts.
KeepAlive
has the ability to IP Ping other connections and alert when the
connections fail. There are many times when two or three
Servers are running applications that are critical and related to one
another. KeepAlive can be programmed to IP Ping these
other Servers and ensure that the network connections are up and
running. If they are not, notifications can be sent via e-mail,
audio, or visually to alert of the condition.
KeepAlive
comes with many powerful tools for diagnostic purposes. These
tools can show executables running, task manager, on-line monitoring
of KeepAlive's activities, Server Information such as hardware, bios,
etc., and real-time log of events.
Any
Server or PC running critical programs should have KeepAlive
installed. This application can save time and money by
restarting failed or "non responding" processes or by just
alerting people when the processes have failed. KeepAlive is a
must in an industry running multiple Servers and critical
applications.
