NimBUS' Reliable, Scalable Architecture Delivers Cost-Effective Remedy For Growing IT Needs

San Mateo, CA - December 1, 2003 - Nimsoft, LLC today announced that its NimBUS performance and service-level management solution has been selected by DeKalb Regional Healthcare System (DRHS), a not-for-profit hospital system in the DeKalb County area of metropolitan Atlanta, Georgia, for application service level monitoring across its entire enterprise spanning numerous Windows, UNIX and NetWare servers. By standardizing its entire enterprise on the Nimsoft service-level management solution, DeKalb Medical Center aims to reduce inefficient manual work and continue to provide leading quality service for its critical applications.

"Since its establishment in 1961, DeKalb Medical Center, the flagship hospital of DRHS, has been a leading provider of health and wellness services to the community," said Cynthia Davis, the hospital system's CIO. "We believe that the Nimsoft tool yields a sophisticated, high-performance yet cost-effective management solution that fully addresses our highly complex service level needs. NimBUS was a clear choice following our review of competitors' offerings."

Nimsoft's award-winning NimBUS products enable customers to be monitoring a diverse range of applications, servers, databases, and networks in a matter of hours. Advanced service level management capabilities mean that customers can define, monitor and automatically report on end-user service levels from a single product. Service views enable individuals at all levels of the business to gain a rapid insight into how critical business applications are performing.

"As the IT infrastructure becomes increasingly vital to healthcare businesses, so does the need to standardize all of the monitoring onto a single point of control," said Gary Read, of Nimsoft. "By implementing our NimBUS solution, DeKalb Regional Healthcare System is poised to scale its operations in line with growing customer demand, while maintaining 24x7 control of its entire enterprise."
