CAMPBELL, Calif., Jan. 27, 2011 -- Nimsoft today announced widespread customer acceptance of its cloud-based IT monitoring solutions.

Led by the demand of enterprise and service provider customers for better ways to monitor cloud environments, deployment of Nimsoft On Demand and the Nimsoft Monitoring Solution (NMS) have risen in line with predictions of rapid growth in this market from leading industry analysts.

Nimsoft solutions enable enterprises and service providers to provide clients with insight into the performance and health of their networks and applications on a 24x7 basis via easy-to-use, fully customizable monitoring portals and elastic widgets.

Several key accomplishments which helped Nimsoft capitalize on the growing market for cloud-based IT monitoring over the last year include:

    * A new IT Monitoring Cloud Readiness Self Assessment tool to help organizations optimally manage their planned cloud environments

    * The addition of comprehensive monitoring for private cloud Vblock Infrastructure Packages to the Nimsoft unified monitoring architecture

    * "see as you go — pay as you go" usage metering capabilities that enable service providers to bring elastic IT offerings to market

    * Support for Cisco's Unified Computing System (UCS)

    * Development of multiple new probes and platform updates for  monitoring cloud infrastructure services ― as well as in-house solutions ― from into a single dashboard
