Beta Program: Round 4

Round 4 of the 4.0 beta has commenced. Four as in “four people have already earned a Hyperic mousepad”, as in “four more are well on their way to earning the mug.” How did they do it? They installed the 4.0 beta, and logged some bugs.

• Join now, there’s still time to get a mug or fleece!

Hyperic 4.0 Overview and Demo

In case you missed last week’s HyperCAST, it was all about Hyperic HQ 4.0. Don Baron, Sales Engineer and Chip Witt, Product Manager show off the new face of the dashboard and get under the hood of the soon-to-be latest version of Hyperic HQ. We know some people sign up, and then forget or suddenly have a meeting and just can’t make it to the live HyperCAST–not to name names pythagoras42, but you never show up. In any case, we’ve archived it for you.
