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.
