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.
The NMS for VMware overview dynamic view using the Unified Monitoring Portal. All Portlets are dynamic and adjust as the VMware environment changes.
