WAKEFIELD, Mass. and
NUREMBERG, Germany, May 16, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Paessler AG,
the innovative network monitoring specialist, today announced the
appointment of Steven Feurer as
chief technology officer (CTO). Feurer, a member of Paessler's
advisory board since 2015 and a seasoned full-stack developer with
two decades of experience, will oversee the company's product
development strategy and its growing team of developers.
"Paessler's PRTG Network Monitor is the world's most popular
network monitoring solution and an indispensable tool for more than
200,000 system administrators because of our unrelenting commitment
to always deliver a product that is exceptionally intuitive and
robust," said Christian Twardawa,
CEO of Paessler. "Steven's track record leading teams that deliver
exceptional code, product management acumen and knack for creating
future-proof solutions makes him the natural choice to serve as
Paessler's first CTO."
In his new role, Feurer will lead Paessler's growing development
team, oversee enhancements to PRTG and the creation of new
features, functionality and offerings, and manage the company's
testing organization. Despite holding US citizenship he will work
out of the company's headquarters.
PRTG empowers system administrators to monitor their entire IT
infrastructure, including the networks, systems, hardware,
applications and devices that comprise it - all in real time.
Highly customizable dashboards make it easy to see in an instance
what matters most, from the overall health and performance of the
network to innumerable, granular details, including the capacity of
individual servers - even the RPMs of the fans within them.
With on premises and cloud deployments, Paessler offers more
than 200 pre-configured, purpose-built sensors for PRTG and works
equally well with custom sensors - making it easy to monitor
virtually anything connected to the network, including devices that
comprise the internet of things (IoT). Whenever a pre-selected
performance threshold is met, PRTG sends an alert in the format the
user prefers - ensuring that system administrators are always the
first to know if a problem arises.
"I've enjoyed watching Paessler grow since meeting Dirk Paessler, its founder, more than 20 years
ago," said Feurer. "The phenomenal loyalty and passion customers
have for PRTG is a direct reflection of the company's commitment to
always do what it takes to make system administrators' lives
easier. As CTO, I look forward to maintaining that steadfast focus
by providing customers with even greater peace of mind as
transformative computing advancements add complexity to networks
and make it more important than ever for enterprises to maintain
visibility over their IT infrastructure."
Feurer brings extensive full-stack development and leadership
experience to his new role. He co-founded anwalt.de (the leading
legal tech company in Germany) and
three additional firms. Most recently, he served as business
advisor of Mueller Media Group and as interim CEO and CTO of
MediService GmbH as well as a product and innovation strategist for
Warptec Software GmbH, where he focused on virtual and augmented
reality, IoT and mobile application development.
He studied information technology and holds a degree in both
Egyptology from the University of Manchester in England and Classical Studies from the Open
University, also in England. An
aficionado of Middle Egyptian, Akkadian, Ancient Greek and Latin,
he enjoys archeology in his spare time and is a volunteer
Egyptologist, archeologist and photographer for the South Asasif
Conservation Project.
