| Personal SmartCheck 4.0 uses S.M.A.R.T. technology to monitor hard drives internal S.M.A.R.T. attributes, predict possible drive failure and prevent data loss. Using predictions settings, Personal SmartCheck lets you know about a potential disk health problem before you lose valuable data.
With Personal SmartCheck you will have the most recent information about the health of all hard drives on your computer. Prediction of the nearest T.E.C. of any hard drive can prevent valuable data loss by replacing dangerous drives and backing up all data. For example, motor and/or bearing failure can be predicted by an increase in the drive spin-up time and the number of retries it takes to succeed in spinning up the drive. Or, if the drive notes that the error correction is being used excessively, it can attribute this to a broken drive head or contamination, and alert you before the problem gets worse. Armed with a failure prediction, the user or system manager can back up key data, replace a suspect device prior to data loss, or avoid undesired downtime. S.M.A.R.T. monitors the disks performance, bad sectors, calibration, CRC errors, disk spin up time, distance between the head and the disk, temperature, features of medium, heads, motor or servo-mechanism. In all, over 30 attributes are covered by S.M.A.R.T. The errors that the system can detect can be predicted by a number of methods. Currently the SMART system can detect around 70% of all hard drive errors. Personal SmartCheck shows the icon with the temperature value of the most hot hard drive in the system tray. You can point this icon by the mouse and PSC will show a hint with temperatures of all hard drives. Personal SmartCheck notifies you when the temperature of the hard drive exceeds the threshold by the balloon hint or WinPopup. |
Performance Monitor is a program that shows you the CPU, Memory, Disk and Network utilization under Windows NT platforms (2000, XP+). It's composed by four fully configurable small graphs and it can work in the tray area also. The windows are fully anchorable and by moving the "CPU" window you'll move the other attached windows. PerfMon can become transparent and permits you to forward left-mouse clicks so you can place it anywhere.
NetShareWatcher allows network administrators to monitor network shares and identify shares which are violating the data access policy of their organization. Once you configure it a first time, you can forget about network sharing problems. You only need to select restricted groups or users and NetShareWatcher will automatically detect network share with an access list containing those restricted groups and perform a configured action.
This program allows an administrator to remotely monitor the servers in his or her organization for uptime, hard drive space, running services and processes. It can run as a background service and send email alerts when a server needs attention. Intended to be easy to learn and easy to use yet still effective in its job. Many programs monitor the network but have a high learning curve. This one makes monitoring easy!
DEKSI LAN Manager is an advanced, powerful, and feature rich program designed for high speed network management. DEKSI LAN Manager provides network management, discovery and monitoring software for networks. DEKSI LAN Manager provides discovery all available computers on your network through a range of IP addresses, multiple workgroups and domains or the whole LAN, and collects machine data such as IP address, MAC address, SNMP, NetBIOS, etc.
Shared Monitor is an advanced shared resource monitor and logger. The program sits in your system tray and constantly monitors all the Microsoft Network connections. It allows you to monitor active connections to your resources and browse the historical data. In addition, you can generate HTML reports, set alerts on specific events (for example, when a new computer connects to your resources) and run the program automatically on Windows start.
Easy Service Monitor is a network fault management tool that continuously monitors network devices and services. If something went wrong, it will alert you by email/phone/pager BEFORE problems get seriously out of hand. A detailed log file will record every event of the monitored targets displayed in an easy to understand chart. You can configure the system so that when something goes wrong, a set of immediate actions will be triggered.
Stellar Smart - Monitor Hard Drive Performance
Stellar Smart is a utility that acts as an "early warning system" for pending hard disk problems. The system is based on Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology (S.M.A.R.T). The hard disk's integrated controller works with various sensors to monitor various aspects of the drive's / disk's performance and determines from this information if the disk is behaving normally or not.
Alchemy Network Monitor monitors your network servers and business-critical applications availability and performance and immediately alerts you if a server gets out of order. Alchemy Network Monitor can also perform certain actions (e.g. launch an external application or execute an SQL query) when a server stops responding to the programs requests and maintain a detailed server monitoring log.
IsItUp Network Monitor is a server monitor, website monitor, port, and email system monitor. It continuously monitors multiple IP devices, websites, servers & alerts you via email or pager; graphs. Website content check; runs as a service; maintains performance statistics for each device it monitors - up time, maximum response time, minimum response time, standard deviation & error log. IsItUp tracks the last successful and last Traceroute.
An advanced, easy-to-use network monitoring solution. Features include: up/downtime monitoring, traffic and usage monitoring, analysis and reporting. SNMP, WMI, Packet Sniffing, and NetFlow data acquisition methods are supported. Users can monitor their networks using more than 30 sensor types. Alerts are sent as soon as a network outage occurs. PRTG Network Monitor is available in both Freeware and Commercial editions.
