Exchange

The NimBUS for Microsoft Exchange Monitoring solution monitors and verifies email 'send' and 'receive' functions. It monitors outgoing mail delivery, incoming mail receipt and total round trip (send/receive) response times. The solution monitors all Microsoft Exchange server resources and services. To aid in capacity planning and load balancing the solution provides trend reporting for Microsoft Exchange server performance and resource utilization.

All Microsoft Exchange status and response time data is analyzed and displayed in graphical enterprise consoles, performance reports and SLA reports.

Exchange Reporting: The NimBUS for Exchange Reporting solution offers an effective way to track and report on an organization’s Exchange email system. The NimBUS Exchange solution offers the vital insights organizations need to better control their Exchange servers—enabling administrators to better enforce mailbox quotas, plan capacity, reduce over provisioning, and enhance reliability.

Active Directory

The NimBUS for Active Directory Monitoring solution periodically collects availability and performance data from Active Directory components using specialized software probes. Status data is consolidated, analyzed and displayed in graphical enterprise consoles, performance reports and SLA reports.

Microsoft Internet Information Services Monitoring

The NimBUS for Microsoft IIS Monitoring Probe provides a powerful solution for efficiently monitoring all IIS server activity throughout an organization—enabling administrators to proactively monitor and manage their IIS servers, so they can ensure optimal performance and reliability.

.NET

Nimsoft proactively measures the performance and availability of .NET application environments. Designed for application support, systems administrators and developers, Nimsoft provides patented auto-discovery engines to model and measure complex application environments, saving developers weeks of work uncovering dependency maps and configuring data collection.

Nimsoft also includes robust templates with best practices tests and measurements for the .NET platform. They include tests for common language runtime (CLR), ASP.NET memory, ActiveX Data Objects (ADO), SQL data access, ASP requests and processes and ASP application tests (e.g. caching, requests.) These are typically coupled with other Windows platform measurements.

Peoplesoft

The most significant challenge facing PeopleSoft administrators today is the inability to monitor application performance, usage patterns, and service levels, and to alert the right people of problems pinpointed to their root cause before they impact the business community.

Nimsoft monitors end-to-end performance of Peoplesoft environments across the entire service delivery chain; end-user, network, J2EE application servers, Tuxedo servers, systems, Oracle databases and other data center components. Through patented modeling techniques, Nimsoft correlates end-user experience in each location to the underlying infrastructure health including the Peoplesoft System and Tools.

Lotus Notes

The NimBUS for Lotus Notes solution monitors Lotus Domino database integrity and availability, client to server connectivity, and end-user service levels with Lotus Notes applications. Once collected and consolidated all Lotus Domino/Notes alarm and performance data can be analyzed and displayed in realtime NimBUS business service dashboards, performance trend reports, and SLA compliance reports.

Cisco VoIP

The NimBUS for Cisco VoIP (Voice over IP) solution monitors Cisco VoIP services and underlying infrastructure components in accordance with end-user's service level agreements. Components monitored include Cisco CallManager, Cisco Gateways and Gatekeepers, Cisco IP and ATA Phones, Cisco Routers and Switches, servers, firewalls, and more.

All Cisco VoIP status data is analyzed and displayed in graphical alarm dashboards, performance reports, and SLA compliance reports.

Citrix

NimBUS for Citrix Monitoring is a comprehensive solution that monitors Citrix Server health to ensure all processes and services are running correctly. Additionally the solution can measure response times for published applications from an end-users perspective. The solution also comes equipped with admininistration capabilities, i.e. manually or automatically logging off users in a disconnected state.

All NimBUS for Citrix Monitoring health status data is analyzed and displayed in graphical dashboards, performance reports and SLA reports.

WebSphere Application Server

The NimBUS for WebSphere Application Server solution monitors and reports on WebSphere enterprise environments, including single server instances and server clusters. The solution gathers detailed performance information via standard and custom Enterprise Java Beans (EJB), JVM, JDBC, threads, sessions, and pools.

NimBUS compiles, analyzes and monitors performance data to provide real-time tracking of WebSphere. NimBUS delivers this vital information via alarms, operator consoles, business dashboards, long-term trend reports, and SLA compliance reports.

Weblogic

Nimsoft monitors the performance and availability of WebLogic servers and applications operating on the WebLogic platform. Using modeling capabilities, the Nimsoft solution enables characterization and graphical visualization of the WebLogic Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) application environment.

JBoss

Many organizations around the world now constantly rely on JBoss to deliver their most critical applications. How can administrators gather the disparate information within JBoss environments to get a clear picture of performance issues—and address them before problems occur?

The NimBUS Probe for JBoss Application Servers can be used to automate the continuous, comprehensive monitoring of JBoss environments.

J2EE

Nimsoft proactively measures performance and availability of Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE), SAP, PeopleSoft and other complex application environments. Designed for application support, systems administrators and developers, Nimsoft tests for application breakdown and troubleshooting at the Enterprise Java Bean (EJB) level.

Likewise, Nimsoft contains patented auto-discovery engines to model complex application environments, saving developers weeks of work uncovering each component and inherent relationships.

"We were excited to see how quickly NimBUS deployed compared to OpenView. In a typical 10 server environment, I'd say we cut our deployment time by 80 percent. Where we used to take days to bring up new customer SLAs, we now do it in hours. NimBUS also requires less highly paid personnel, and less staff time overall, for ongoing support. By reducing our personnel requirements we've saved quite a bit of money."
