Virtualization
Nimsoft Monitor 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, Nimsoft Monitor makes it possible for organizations to fully leverage the performance, agility, and cost benefits of virtualization.
Virtualization is inherently complex and fluid, with VMs being started and stopped, moved for availability, and dependent on underlying physical infrastructure. Nimsoft virtualization IT monitoring addresses these problems with an automated, efficient solution:
- Delivering the intelligence needed to ensure monitoring continuity.
- Automatically correlating physical and virtual resources.
- Automatically configuring, deploying, and displaying monitoring for virtual infrastructure.

Oracle Solaris Zones
 Nimsoft Monitor for Oracle Solaris Zones Data Sheet: Nimsoft Monitor for Solaris Virtualization (PDF)
Solaris Zones (also known as Solaris Containers) offer powerful virtualization capabilities to segregate and isolate hardware resources for virtual use—essentially giving you the capability to have all the advantages of a physical server within a virtual environment.
This capability results in a new layer of functionality within the Solaris environment that increases the complexity of monitoring. With Nimsoft Monitor for Solaris Zones, organizations can efficiently and effectively gain the insights needed to maintain the performance and uptime of Solaris Container instances, and quickly remediate outages when they occur.
Automated, Comprehensive Solaris Zones Monitoring
Nimsoft Monitor for Solaris Zones can automatically identify Solaris Container instances, and automatically apply appropriate monitoring.
- Automatically set thresholds and data sets collected.
Monitoring can be applied by OS version, container name or other parameter, and then appropriately displayed and correlated. This approach eliminates the need to manually apply monitoring for base CPU, disk, network and memory metrics.
- Comprehensive environment and operation data.
Provide events, alarms, and performance data from the Solaris host as well as the Solaris Containers it hosts—including key metrics for disk, network, CPU, and memory, as well as system, resource pool, and resource control.
- Automatically correlated displays.
Correlate and display container monitoring with data from the Solaris host.
Key Features
Flexible Integration
- Agentless implementation, using remote management interfaces to collect data from Solaris servers.
- APIs and gateways that allow integration of Solaris Zones monitoring with your data center tools and wider IT environment.
Monitoring Efficiency
- Automated configuration and deployment of monitoring for Containers by template.
- Automated display of monitoring data using configurable, template-based list views that show both Solaris physical host resources and Container resources.
Practical, Intuitive Insights
- Alerts, trending, and real time intelligence that support proactive problem prevention, and fast detection and correction of issues when they occur.
- Integration with additional Nimsoft Monitor solutions enables a complete monitoring view of all business services, whether they run in a Solaris Zone, or the wider data center, or public or private clouds.
- When combined with additional Nimsoft Monitor offerings, this solution provides the granular, correlated views needed to ensure complex, mission critical business services deliver the performance and availability required.
- Delivers sophisticated usage tracking and reporting that enables effective communication of business value.
