NimBUS 'Service-centric' Server Monitoring
Each server configuration is unique and is dictated
by the role the server must play in the business environment; NimBUS
server monitoring solutions can easily adapt its availability and
service quality measures for a myriad of server configurations.
Figure below: NimBUS 'Service-Centric'
monitoring - NimBUS focuses health monitoring on core server resources
and the unique business services which utilize those resources.
Realtime Availability and Performance
Alerting
NimBUS easily displays server statistics in realtime
alarm dashboards. When thresholds are crossed, alerts can be generated
and displayed in NimBUS active alert lists and graphic map elements,
or forwarded to a wide variety of notification options (i.e. pager,
cell, email).
Historical Performance Reporting
In addition to viewing server availability and
performance in realtime, NimBUS allows for long term archival and
reporting of server performance data. This level of visibility is
key for proactive capacity planning, load balancing, and preemptive
problem resolution for degrading server conditions - 100's of server
data points can be archived. NimBUS performance reports can be viewed
in a web browser and or a Windows client.
SLA Compliance Reporting
Using NimBUS Service Level Manager, it is possible
to define SLAs specific to server/service configurations ('service-centric'
server monitoring). Server components can be defined and monitored
in the context of business services deployed on top of base server
configurations. Immediately upon completion of the SLA definition
using the NimBUS SLA point-and-click template, an intuitive web-based
SLA/SLO compliance report is generated.
