Nimsoft NMS has always been a favourite of ours. Compared with other framework solutions it is incredibly easy to install and you can be monitoring your infrastructure within half an hour. A template library containing hundreds of pre-configured Probes allows you to quickly start monitoring your infrastructure, servers, network, applications and databases.

Proactively monitoring and managing IT performance from a business services perspective is essential to improving the operational efficiency, agility, and, ultimately, profitability of the entire business. That’s why service level management (SLM) and business service management (BSM) are such critical priorities within IT operations.

Instead of managing technology silos by IT department functions, SLM and BSM enable IT professionals to understand and improve the end-to-end, "horizontal" performance of internal, external, and hybrid IT services that have been configured to support specific business processes and services.

Organizations looking for SLM and BSM products were stuck with two choices:

• Expensive legacy management products from the Big 4 (BMC, CA, HP, and IBM).  These offerings were supposed to enable operational efficiency? the reality is that they haven't delivered. These products require huge initial investments and significant follow-on costs for customization and implementation. In addition to their cost, these products are typically extremely complex, difficult to deploy, and ultimately often become partial or complete shelf ware.
  
• Point solutions to monitor specific technology elements within the infrastructure, such as network devices or database servers. Since these point solutions do not monitor performance from a comprehensive, end-user-to-service perspective, they offer limited benefit to teams tasked with ensuring peak performance of critical business services.
  

Now, with the emergence and growth of credible and scalable external IT infrastructure choices, including managed and hosted service solutions, SaaS offerings, and cloud infrastructures, organizations are faced with the unappealing prospect of trying to extend either of these insufficient choices.

Not surprisingly, organizations are realizing that neither of these approaches meets their current needs, let alone their emerging requirements. Nimsoft offers an effective alternative for enterprises and service providers who require broad infrastructure and technology support to centrally monitor their entire IT infrastructure, from the data center to the cloud.

Nimsoft has made effective SLM and BSM a practical reality for nearly one thousand customers worldwide.  The Nimsoft Monitoring Solution (NMS), built on the proven scalability and robustness of the Nimsoft Unified Monitoring™ architecture,  is the only solution on the market that delivers complete visibility into the performance and availability of business applications across internal and external IT infrastructures.

With Nimsoft, customers can cost effectively monitor and manage internal and external services and improve service delivery. Nimsoft enables businesses to confidently adopt new service delivery platforms such as cloud computing, without raising costs or putting service delivery at risk.
