Crooked Arm Ships Gladys 1.0
-- Gladys Eavesdrops on FileMaker Server Systems to Provide Database Administrators Unprecedented Server Monitoring and Notification Capabilities --
"Gladys is the first product that ensures the database
administrator is the first to know about an access issue,"
said Stuart Gripman, founder and president of Crooked Arm.
"Before Gladys, notification was typically provided by a
frantic, unhappy user on the phone, or a system of complex, extreme
customization. Now, administrators have a straightforward product
that lets them rest easy, knowing if a system or file becomes
unavailable, they can be notified almost anywhere with details that
help them troubleshoot."
"Our SyncDeK developers create systems that organizations
rely on to access their data any time, anywhere,"
explained Jason Erickson, founder and CEO of WorldSync, Inc, and
Gladys beta tester. "Gladys worked as advertised
in our testing, providing any time, anywhere notification that a
server or database has gone down. The headache that Gladys
eliminates is huge, particularly the nightmare scenario of having a
client's boss discover a down server first. WorldSync will
definitely recommend our Mac FileMaker developers also use
Gladys."
Gladys is a customizable server administrator's tool that
monitors FileMaker server availability, specific file availability
and specific account status. Gladys can be configured to provide
information notifications to administrators directly on screen, via
email or text message. Gladys can also trigger AppleScripts for
ultimate flexibility. Gladys supports password protected FileMaker
Servers.
Pricing and Availability Gladys is available today, running on Mac
OS X 10.4 or later for monitoring mixed-platform Mac and Windows
FileMaker Server environments. Gladys is priced at $199 for a
single-server license including 5 agents; $499 for a pro license
that includes an unlimited number of agents; and $999 for a site
license.
