Data Sheet: Nimsoft Monitor for Hyper-V (PDF)
 Nimsoft Monitor for Hyper-V provides monitoring metrics for a host of critical resources within Hyper-V environments. Monitoring your Microsoft Hyper-V environments presents a host of challenges that you don’t find in your typical Microsoft server deployments.

With Nimsoft Monitor for Hyper-V, your organization gets the capabilities it needs to monitor Hyper-V infrastructures, so you can maximize the performance and availability of these dynamic environments.
Gain Visibility and Control over Dynamic Hyper-V Environments
With Nimsoft Monitor for Hyper-V, organizations can harness a comprehensive solution for managing events, alarms, and performance within Hyper-V environments. Nimsoft Monitor uses template-based monitoring application for Hyper-V hosts and guest operating systems—so you don’t have to configure monitoring manually. You can configure thresholds and data sets for monitoring templates based on application, OS version, or other parameter. Once parameters are set, the solution automatically identifies VMs, gathers data, and appropriately correlates and displays information. Plus, monitoring is continuous, even when VMs are moved or resources are changed.
