Maxum Development Releases PageSentry 4.0
August 10, 2001. Maxum Development’s latest software release, PageSentry
4.0, is now available. The new version offers a host of new features, as
well as Mac OS X native operation. At the same time, Maxum announced a new
pricing model that makes PageSentry more practical for small Web sites
while more scalable for large Internet Service Providers.
Among the most significant new features of PageSentry 4.0:
* Both Carbon and Classic versions of the PageSentry application
provide support for all modern Macintosh models running Mac OS 7.1
through Mac OS X.
* Enhanced statistics, with a revised status window that provides much
more detail about server activity and history.
* Significantly improved Web reporting, including server detail
reports with specific information about recent activity and attempted
warning actions.
* More efficient Sentry, Notifier, and Group management that allows
PageSentry ISP to support up to 500 Sentries while reducing memory and
CPU requirements for smaller configurations.
* Sentry listings can now be sorted by name, group, status, etc.
* Sentries can now be scheduled to suspend testing at specific times
of the day or day of the week.
In addition, a variety of minor errors have been corrected, the user
interface has been updated, menus have been revised to be easier to
navigate, a new “audible alert” notification type has been added, and
other usability improvements have been made.
To meet the needs of a variety of different network administrators,
PageSentry is now available in four different variations. Packages
range from the entry-level “PageSentry OneSite” ($95) which is
designed for administrators with a single server, to “PageSentry ISP”,
which is capable of monitoring an entire Internet server farm ($595).
