ESX Servers and Virtual Machines
Nimsoft products enable managed hosting providers to harness virtualization to fully optimize hardware resources, so they can cost-effectively scale their infrastructure to meet growing demand. Nimsoft supports the monitoring of partitioned virtualization environments, in which virtualized resources are shared among multiple clients.
Further, by more fully optimizing existing hardware resources, hosting providers can reduce energy consumption and the organization’s carbon footprint. In addition, colocation service providers can deliver value-added monitoring services for their client’s virtualized infrastructure.
Managed Hosting Provider Solution Stacks
Nimsoft enables managed hosting providers to gain monitoring insights into every level of their solution stacks, including …
-
Microsoft-centric environments, featuring support for Windows platforms, Microsoft IIS, Exchange, and more.
-
Linux solutions stacks, offering complete coverage of the popular open source “LAMP” stack, that is, Linux, Apache, MySQL, and Perl/Python/PHP.
Armed with these monitoring insights, managed hosting providers can not only ensure optimal service levels, but offer sophisticated monitoring as additional service offerings. For example, in addition to core server monitoring, Nimsoft makes it easy to monitor client’s applications running on these hosted servers.
Monitoring Heterogeneous Colocation Facilities
With Nimsoft, colocation service providers can monitor all the platforms, hardware, and applications that customers want to have hosted. Nimsoft provides over 100 IT monitoring probes, offering probes for …
-
Networks, including routers, switches, firewalls, and VoIP.
-
Servers on such platforms as Windows, Linux, UNIX, Netware, AS400, and VMware.
-
Databases such as Oracle, Sybase, Microsoft SQL Server, IBM Informix, and IBM DB2.

Applications like Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft IIS, Active Directory, Citrix, WebSphere, JBoss, home-grown applications, and much more.
Optimize Service Levels—and Reporting
“Nimsoft dashboards provide granular perspectives such as graphing the power state of our virtual machines, free space measurements, and illustrate our active, shared, and swapped memory usage on each host.” |
With Nimsoft, Hosting Providers can use intuitive, rich reporting features that provide the real-time insights needed to inspect and optimize infrastructure performance.
Further, these reports can be delivered in an online, on-demand fashion to customers—so they can get real-time views of their leased or colocated servers.
