Data Sheet: CA 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. CA Nimsoft Monitoring for Clusters allows you to intelligently monitor and manage clusters and nodes using a single, intuitive interface. With CA Nimsoft, you get the visibility needed to identify and address issues before they affect applications and users.

Effective Cluster Server Monitoring

The CA 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.
