Broadened NimBUS Suite Offers In-Depth Intelligence, New Control to Microsoft Windows, Exchange, Active Directory, IIS and SQL Server Applications

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. -- Nimsoft Inc., a leading provider of service level management solutions, announced today that it has broadened its software suite to provide new levels of in-depth intelligence and dynamic visibility into the end-to-end monitoring and management of mission-critical Microsoft applications. NimBUS for Microsoft Applications brings customers proactive monitoring and reporting to help them comply with service level agreements for business services. NimBUS for Microsoft Applications is available today.

NimBUS for Microsoft Applications is the most complete and comprehensive approach to managing and monitoring strategic Microsoft applications in real time. The NimBUS suite brings significant new management capabilities that enable more granular control of strategic Microsoft applications, from distributed directory services and database software to messaging and collaboration software. Far beyond the industry standard of simple log monitoring, the NimBUS suite is capable of performance measurements of critical application functions to help customers identify specific trouble spots in addition to broader views of application availability and standards of service.

"We have completely deployed Nimsoft's new service level management solutions across our Microsoft environment," said Patrick Richert, network engineer for Foley & Lardner LLP, which was ranked among the top 200 of InformationWeek's Top 500 most innovative information technology organizations. "We have been frankly astounded by how much information we have been gathering using the NimBUS solution, which is giving us greater control over customer-facing systems and Microsoft applications."

"The new NimBUS suite will help any enterprise customer who needs to centrally manage their entire Microsoft infrastructure and improve application performance," said Gary Read, Nimsoft President and CEO. "Nimsoft continues to deliver a robust feature-set that is far more pragmatic, scaleable and effective for end-to-end service level management."

NimBUS for Microsoft Applications provides customers a complete, 360-degree view of business services for the entire IT infrastructure. All NimBUS information is correlated to business service dashboards and measured against pre-defined service level agreements to warn customers against conditions that threaten service level agreements.

NimBUS for Windows Server

NimBUS monitors, collects and analyzes performance of core Windows server components and delivers them in real-time dashboards, performance trend reports and service level agreement compliance reports.

NimBUS for Microsoft Active Directory

NimBUS offers in-depth management of critical software functions such as read/write performance, replication reliability and replication performance in distributed environments. The ability to monitor and manage the replication of updates ensures the latest information is available to business users.

NimBUS for Microsoft Exchange

NimBUS provides dynamic visibility into the number and size of emails being sent by an organization as well as resource consequences, such as bandwidth and disk space utilization. NimBUS can improve backup and restore times for Exchange, reducing significant legal, privacy and security exposures.

NimBUS for Microsoft Internet Information Services

NimBUS scales from a single server instance to multiple servers distributed across geographies. In addition to monitoring Web response times and pinpointing hanging scripts and resources, NimBUS monitors a full range of statistics to ensure the health and performance of all server subsystems and processes.
