Casual Male Retail Group Ensures Optimal Performance of E-commerce Sites with Nimsoft Monitoring Solutions

Leading online retailer leverages flexibility and customization of
comprehensive monitoring tool

Redwood City, Calif. – October 26, 2009 – Nimsoft, the first provider of Unified Monitoring™ solutions, today announced Casual Male Retail Group (CMRG) has deployed the Nimsoft Monitoring Solution (NMS) to monitor all of the company’s corporate systems.

After evaluating monitoring solutions from multiple vendors, the IT team chose Nimsoft for its flexibility and rich feature set. With NMS in place, Casual Male Retail Group can ensure fast response times and website availability to its online customer base.

The largest specialty retailer of big and tall men's apparel, CMRG has more than 490 store locations and substantial e-commerce and catalog operations. With so much of its business dependent on the operation of its IT infrastructure, performance and reliability are critical requirements.

“Downtime is simply unacceptable, because it can lead to lost sales, frustrated customers and brand implications,” said Dave Potter, Director of IT Infrastructure at CMRG. “To ensure 100% uptime and the best possible user experience, constant monitoring of all systems and applications is essential. Nimsoft allows us to track historical data, monitor sales and performance, correlate software and hardware issues, and forecast capacity needs for peak traffic times. The ability to capture key data and monitor our infrastructure with a high degree of detail and granularity lets us quickly and efficiently address issues before they become real network threats.”

Unlike tools previously used by the IT team, NMS provides deep visibility and a high degree of flexibility in designing custom probes for specific applications. Customized dashboards provide a single view of the online e-commerce environment, allowing administrators to view one site or all sites simultaneously, and review detailed metrics quickly.

“NMS alerts administrators at CMRG of potential issues and keeps them abreast of the network’s health 24x 7,” said Gary Read, Nimsoft president and CEO. “By simply glancing at the dashboard, administrators can assess the performance of all systems, and decide to take action or allocate additional resources, if necessary. This saves the IT staff considerable time and worry.”
