Monitoring serves multiple purposes in a complex enterprise IT environment. On the one hand, it is a <strong>powerful analytic</strong> providing the baseline on how well a network, server or other tool is performing. As such, you can make adjustments and ensure it functions at maximum efficiency. It is also a <strong>security</strong> function; knowing who is doing what to various IT assets and finding/preventing vulnerabilities. This is a key component for compliance which most businesses need to routinely satisfy. And monitoring is also your first line of defense for <strong>user productivity and supporting critical business needs</strong>.

<div id="applications">
<h5><strong>Application Monitoring</strong></h5>
</div>
Applications represent the value you provide to the business. The performance of these applications is the shop window seen by your users. To ensure you know you users are receiving the service they expect we provide a multi-faceted approach ensure monitoring in depth and breadth.
<h5><strong>User Experience Monitoring</strong></h5>
User experience is the ultimate judge of how your users perceive their IT service. There are many possible ways to monitor user experience:
<ul class="leftpadding">
	<li>Synthetic Transactions. Continuously playing user scenarios to alert you to issues before your users do</li>
	<li>Cloud monitors for common services such as Salesforce, Amazon EC2/S3 and more</li>
	<li>Real User Monitoring enables you to know the performance your users really experience</li>
	<li>Service Level Agreements continuously monitored. Alerts before you breach your SLAs</li>
</ul>
<h5><strong>Deep Application Monitoring</strong></h5>
Off the shelf tools that gather core metrics from deep inside common applications (Exchange, Apache, SharePoint, IIS, etc etc). You can be warned of resource exhaustion long before it impacts the service you are providing
<ul class="leftpadding">
	<li>Bespoke Application Monitoring</li>
</ul>
Very often the most critical business application is one developed or heavily customised in house. Every client is different and CSS have the skills to build bespoke monitors suited to your in house applications.
<div id="infrastructure">
<h5><strong>Infrastructure Monitoring</strong></h5>
</div>
Of course no application will run well without a solid infrastructure. Monitoring the infrastructure is not only important to catch the basic failures like disks filling up or network bandwidth being over committed but by monitoring the basic infrastructure we enable root cause analysis. This ability to raise an alarm for the true cause of the problem rather than a flood of alarms enables your support staff to be more focused and resolve issues faster.
<div id="cloud-configuration">
<h5><strong>Cloud Monitoring</strong></h5>
</div>
Maintaining service levels and availability now requires that you monitor and manage critical infrastructure in cloud environments in addition to your traditional data center. Nimsoft solutions include complete monitoring environments for those building a public or private cloud as well as specific monitoring elements for you to monitor your instances in cloud services such as Amazon, Rackspace, and Salesforce
<div id="databases">
<h5><strong>Database Monitoring</strong></h5>
</div>
Monitoring allows you to effectively monitor databases, associated applications, and user transactions to ensure high throughput and peak performance. With native probes for DB2, Oracle, MySQL, Microsoft SQL, Sybase and Informix we have your (data) bases covered
<div id="network">
<h5><strong>Network Monitoring</strong></h5>
</div>
From the lowest level of monitoring to the actual traffic on the wire (even down to a per protocol level) all the way up to the probes to monitor specific networking hardware. There are also tools to make SNMP queries and develop sophisticated monitoring for any device that is snmp enabled. RCA and Topology Manager provide up to date topology discovery and root cause analysis.
<div id="server">
<h5><strong>Server Monitoring</strong></h5>
</div>
Servers underpin virtually every one of your core business services. Depending on their performance, they represent either a vital asset or a critical vulnerability. Monitoring your organization gets the capabilities it needs to optimize the performance of business services—and the servers they rely on—all day, every day.
<div id="storage">
<h5><strong>Storage Monitoring</strong></h5>
</div>
Nimsoft Monitor for Storage provides the comprehensive, efficient monitoring that allows you to set and keep SLAs for systems, applications, and business services that depend upon having the storage resources they need, when they need it.

Supporting any storage component with performance metrics accessible via SNMP, as well as targeted out-of-the-box solutions covering NetApp as well as EMC Celerra, CLARiiON, and Symmetrix VMAX storage platforms, Nimsoft Monitor for Storage provides events, alarms, performance data, displays, workflow, and correlation features that allow you to:
<ul class="leftpadding">
	<li>Rapidly identify and correct storage related outages</li>
	<li>Prevent problems before they happen by applying intelligent thresholds and metrics</li>
	<li>Optimize storage allocations by tracking storage usage and relating usage to systems, business services, and customers</li>
	<li>Automatically identify, configure, and deploy monitoring for storage components and elements.</li>
</ul>
<div id="virtualized-environment">
<h5><strong>Virtualized Environment Monitoring</strong></h5>
</div>
Monitoring offers sophisticated, comprehensive, and efficient monitoring of virtualized environments. With the alerts, trending information, and real-time intelligence administrators need to prevent problems and quickly correct issues, Monitoring makes it possible for organizations to fully leverage the performance, agility, and cost benefits of virtualization.

Virtualization is inherently complex and fluid, with VMs started and stopped, moved for availability and dependent on underlying physical infrastructure. Virtualization monitoring addresses these problems with an automated, efficient solution:
<ul class="leftpadding">
	<li>Delivering the intelligence needed to ensure monitoring continuity</li>
	<li>Automatically correlating physical and virtual resources</li>
	<li>Automatically configuring, deploying, and displaying monitoring for virtual infrastructure</li>
</ul>
<div id="user-experience">
<h5><strong>User Experience Monitoring</strong></h5>
</div>
Users don’t experience web servers or networks or databases. They experience applications. User Experience Monitoring gives you the confidence to know your applications and cloud services are available and meeting response time goals for your local and global users.
