4PSA Server Assistant 2 Is Available
December 09, 2005 (PRLEAP.COM) Technology News
4PSA, a custom solutions provider for web hosting companies announced a new version of 4PSA Server Assistant, an advanced proactive monitoring solution designed for Plesk servers.Many server owners had at least once the server down due to an attack generated by a local user. Bad intention or not, downtime occurs due to excessive server resources usage. For today’s web hosting industry, the need to ensure business uptime and data reliability is vital. Administrators can do a splendid job, but they cannot watch the server 24h/day and take action every time something goes wrong. That’s why thousands of companies worldwide use 4PSA Server Assistant expertise to maximize uptime and reliability.
4PSA Server Assistant 2 brings new features like per process memory and CPU monitoring with automatic intervention, anti-tampering port and socket monitoring, incoming / outgoing bandwidth monitoring, Qmail queue monitoring, and improved proactive service monitoring. The price of 4PSA Server Assistant starts as low as USD 69 for 30 domains.
In order to minimize the effects of software errors or abusive utilization, 4PSA Server Assistant analyzes the resources used by processes and can automatically terminate the programs that do not meet the server policy terms as defined by the administrator. Socket and port monitoring is also an important part of the picture because such events are usually associated with an illegal operation.
4PSA Server Assistant adds proactive monitoring to Plesk servers. The software is able to record information about core server parameters like CPU and memory utilization, MySQL connections, incoming and outgoing bandwidth utilization, load, number of processes, etc. and track their evolution in time. “4PSA Server Assistant tries to detect problems before they occur. Helped by intelligent, proactive monitoring, hosting companies can provide efficient services and improved reliability to their customers”, said John Kehler, Hosting Product Manager, 4PSA.
The bandwidth and Qmail queue monitoring functions are designed to alert the administrator when network resources usage exceeds a predefined limit or when the server sends more emails than it is supposed to. These functions can avoid a lot of trouble like overcharges and server spam listing.
4PSA Server Assistant 2 is compatible with Plesk 7.5 Reloaded and Plesk 7.1 Reloaded, running on all Linux and UNIX operating systems supported by Plesk.
