NMS for VMware
With the Nimsoft Monitoring Solution (NMS) for VMware, organizations can harness a comprehensive solution for monitoring and optimizing performance in VMware environments.
Plus, with NMS, organizations can monitor and manage all the operating systems and business applications that run in this virtualized environment—and get insights into the performance end users experience from these business applications.

Comprehensive Monitoring Insights of the Entire VMware Ecosystem
Only NMS for VMware offers all these capabilities:
- Monitoring VMware VirtualCenter Server—With NMS, administrators gain essential insights into the VirtualCenter server’s health, including server status, performance and availability of the operating system, performance statistics, and the processing status of the application itself.
- Monitoring Operating Systems and Applications Running on Virtual Machines—NMS offers capabilities for monitoring all major operating systems, including Windows, Unix, Linux, and Netware; a host of common business applications, including Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft Active Directory, Microsoft IIS, Lotus Notes, SAP, WebSphere, e-commerce applications, and custom-built applications; and all prevalent databases, such as Oracle, MS SQL Server, and Sybase.
- Monitoring Response Times of End User Applications—Through its extensive support for response time solutions across a range of applications, NMS provides vital insights into what is really happening from an end user perspective.
- Critical Performance Data: When and How it’s Needed—NMS compiles, analyzes, and monitors performance data to provide real-time tracking of VMware virtualized infrastructures. NMS delivers this vital information via alarms, operator consoles, business dashboards, long-term trend reports, and SLA compliance reports.
VMware vSphere and Virtual Center performance and availability monitoring
The applications running in vSphere and Virtual Center environment are mission critical and are monitored from a performance and availability perspective. NMS offers two simple metrics:
- Response time. (how long it takes vCenter to respond to a simple "get current time" call)
- Availability of VCenter (whether vCenter responds or not)
Discovery of Asset and Configuration Information
NMS stores asset and configuration data for ESX and VM's historically as below:
- Processor Count
- Number of Cores
- Network Card Count
- HBA's Count, Disk Count
- Processor Capacity GHz
- Memory Capacity GB
- VM/Guest OS Software Version
