Data Sheet: Nimsoft Monitor for Cluster Servers (PDF)

Has the need for continuous uptime pushed you to adopt high availability (HA) clustering solutions? With these fail-over solutions deployed, monitoring and controlling service delivery becomes more complex. Nimsoft Monitoring for Clusters allows you to intelligently monitor and manage clusters and nodes using a single, intuitive interface. With Nimsoft, you get the visibility needed to identify and address issues before they affect applications and users.

Effectively Monitor Cluster Performance

The power of a cluster to dynamically re-allocate workloads based on changing node availability makes monitoring within the cluster difficult. Failover situations complicate issues, typically resulting in missing monitoring information, duplicate alarms, and inaccurate status information.

The Nimsoft cluster-aware solution continually monitors clusters, cluster resource groups, and active or passive nodes. It maintains continuous communication with the Microsoft and Veritas cluster services to identify changing cluster configurations. When a change occurs, it automatically migrates monitoring across appropriate cluster nodes as needed. This eliminates the need for manual activation, reconfiguration, or duplication of monitoring.
