Just Develop It Intros Web-based Server Monitoring and Alert Service

Just Develop It, a group that provides simplified solutions for complex IT issues, is now offering a variety of services ranging from online storage to virtual sales agents. Last year, the company created an in-house operation that externally monitors servers for downtime/uptime.

 

The new operation, Just Uptime, does not require any installations. It’s a Web-based server monitoring and alert service that allows registered users to build a unique dashboard equipped with various checks to ensure that a particular Web site or server is functioning properly.

 

The service can be set up to text message the user when his or her Web site or server goes down. Alerts can be customized by the user. Just Uptime is able to perform HTTP/HTTPS, Ping, TCP/UDP (News - Alert), DNS, POP3/IMAP/SMTP checks in intervals of 1, 5, 15, 30, and 60 minutes. A web-based control panel stores detailed logs, which can be used to generate flash reports with data on uptime and response time.

 

While the application doesn’t do away with downtime altogether, it is designed to “dramatically reduce the length of downtime as well as the impact it has on a company's reputation and revenue.”

 

Just Uptime is a service geared toward the B2B environment. New features and services that address the consumer market are expected to be released at some point. The service providers are currently investigating the web hosting industry where uptime claims are generally not monitored or verified. Just Uptime is expected to be used to monitor some of the largest hosting companies in the world in order to decrease false uptime guarantees and the over selling of accounts. The service will produce public reports to end foul play that is apparent within the webhosting industry.

 

“There is an overwhelming number of hosting companies around these days, all of which are competing to offer their services at a competitive price, this has made over selling more and more a problem for consumers, so here at Just Uptime we believe we are allowing the consumer to effectively monitor their uptime, so it gives them a chance to choose the web host their website deserves,” said Luke Kendall, marketing manager for Just Uptime, in a statement.

 

In celebration of the launch of Just Uptime, the company is offering a no obligation 30-day free trial to all new registrants.
