The enterprise workforce’s increased reliance on email continues unabated, as does the growth in both the number and size of emails being sent—which presents significant challenges to an organization. For example, the increased bandwidth and disk space being consumed, and the corresponding expansion of the time it takes to back up and restore the Exchange server, create significant technical issues.

Further, these large repositories can present significant legal, privacy, and security exposure. How do administrators effectively track and report on all Exchange activity, so they can better control what gets saved, where, and for how long?

The NimBUS for Exchange Reporting solution offers an effective way to track and report on an organization’s Exchange email system. The NimBUS solution provides comprehensive visibility in the Exchange server environment so organizations can better control this vital corporate resource. The NimBUS for Exchange Reporting solution is part of the NimBUS for Exchange Monitoring solution, which provides integrated access to the monitoring of Exchange server data and how that data gets reported.

Further, NimBUS for Exchange Reporting solution is fully integrated with Nimsoft’s service level management suite, enabling organizations to manage their entire infrastructure with a single solution.

"Nimsoft has helped us shift from being a reactive environment, where someone notifies us of a problem, to a proactive service, where we are notified of issues that may arise before they happen. Prior to NimBUS we didn't have a solution, and our networks were not very stable. We had several outages a month and our applications were considered "sluggish."

"Now we are monitoring our network status, and more importantly, our throughput speeds or internal application performance, which allow us to place a value on how our systems and networks are really doing. Overall, we are very pleased with the simplicity of Nimsoft's setup, the extreme ease of use and their great breadth of features."
