Nimsoft adds support for Red Hat Enterprise Virtualisation

Unified visibility helps customers achieve optimal performance across Red Hat Enterprise Virtualisation and heterogeneous virtualisation environments.

Johannesburg, 29 Jun 2012

Nimsoft South Africa has announced that its Nimsoft Monitor solution now features robust support for Red Hat Enterprise Virtualisation, providing customers with unified, end-to-end visibility into their Red Hat and non-Red Hat resources, so they can more effectively and efficiently deliver IT services to their business.

Red Hat Enterprise Virtualisation is a comprehensive open source virtualisation management solution for servers and desktops. It is differentiated from other virtualisation solutions by lower total cost of ownership, faster return on investment and freedom from vendor lock-in.

Nimsoft Monitor for Red Hat Enterprise Virtualisation streamlines administration in heterogeneous virtualised environments by efficiently managing multiple virtualisation technologies from a single platform. "We've expanded the scope of our monitoring coverage to include Red Hat Enterprise Virtualisation, giving customers more choice in virtualisation technology," says Harold van Graan, GM, Nimsoft South Africa. “This can help them to achieve optimum IT infrastructure performance and uptime,” he adds.

Nimsoft Monitor for Red Hat Enterprise Virtualisation automates many monitoring tasks, and streamlines the administration of the physical and virtualised elements in dynamic Red Hat Enterprise Virtualisation-enabled environments.

Van Graan says key capabilities include: auto-discovery of Red Hat Enterprise Virtualisation hypervisors; granular, correlated views of Red Hat Enterprise Virtualisation and the underlying physical systems and real-time performance and availability of data.

“It also provides proactive alerts based on customer-defined thresholds and automation of common RHEV configuration and data collection tasks.

“Red Hat customers want management tools that are easy to deploy, easy to operate and provide the functionality they need to keep their critical business services up and running at peak performance,” said Geert Jansen, senior product marketing manager, Virtualisation at Red Hat. “Red Hat Enterprise Virtualisation combined with Nimsoft Monitor provides our joint customers with the performance, reliability, scalability and cost-effectiveness they need for their IT infrastructures.”
