NimBUS product suite will extend existing OpenView NNM implementation

Burlingame, CA - April 2, 2003 - Nimsoft LLC today announced that its NimBUS performance and service-level management solution has been selected by Benton County to manage and monitor multiple servers, databases and applications responsible for running the County's multiple agencies. Benton County will use the Nimsoft solution to manage end-user service levels and enhance overall levels of IT service.

"After a comprehensive market evaluation of solutions that could extend our existing OpenView NNM implementation, we chose the Nimsoft solution because it provided superior functionality coupled with an ease-of-use that we did not find in competitive products." said John Warsinske, County Information Officer, Benton County. "We had the product up and running within a couple of hours and it was immediately clear that it addressed our service level management needs--which translates into overall improved performance and cost savings."

Nimsoft's award-winning NimBUS products enable customers to be monitoring a diverse range of servers, databases, applications and networks in a matter of hours. Advanced service level management capabilities provide managed service providers and corporate enterprises to define, implement, monitor and report on service levels as defined from the end-users perspective.

"Today's economy has focused all organizations on rapid return on investment. Customers demand higher service levels at lower costs without reinventing their IT infrastructure," said Gary Read, of Nimsoft. "Like several other organizations, Benton County has chosen our NimBUS solution to increase the visibility and availability of its IT infrastructure."
