Seattle's HyBlue releases new product

Caught up with Matthew Sutton, CEO of Seattle's HyBlue, to learn that the company successfully launched HyBlue Patch last month. This is a nifty little service that is especially useful for companies without strong internal IT support. After HyBlue Patch is installed on a computer, it monitors for patch compliance 24x7, as well as overall performance, security and configuration. It can monitor servers as well as desktop computers, helping to sound the alarm if hardware is malfunctioning or out of compliance. On second thought, this isn't just for companies without IT support – HyBlue Patch would be quite useful for stressed out IT managers in larger organizations as well, since it notifies them anytime a server goes silent for more than 10 minutes. How great would it be to know that your server is down BEFORE your employees start squawking?
