Get an early look at ISAAC Workspace version 2.5. Introducing the much anticipated Maps and User Update features along with new modules, improvements, and bug fixes.
Maps
Place markers anywhere you want on a virtual canvas to visually represent system infrastructure. Upload any image as the background, assign variables with health
states, create areas to group markers, easily identify potential issues, and so much more.
Markers
Markers can be placed anywhere on your map to represent system infrastructure like network switches, audio devices, hardware, and anything else you can think of. Associate a marker with any variable in ISAAC Workspace to view health and values. Change the size of individual markers or globally to create hierarchy and match the scale of your map.
Areas
Create custom areas using rectangles, circles, or draw custom polygons to group markers. Adding markers to areas is as simple as dragging one into it. Assign the health state of areas to represent the worst state of any of the markers within or a specific variable.
User Updates
Updating ISAAC Workspace has never been easier with the addition of User Updates. When a new update is available, you'll be able to download and update on your own. Updates are downloaded in the background for uninterrupted workflows. You can also manually select which version you are installing which allows for installing beta builds depending on your license.
