CA Technologies announced the availability of CA Nimsoft Monitor Snap—a free, feature-rich version of its CA Nimsoft Monitor solution.
CA Nimsoft Monitor Snap enables resource-constrained customers to quickly achieve enterprise-class visibility into the health of the diverse IT resources that support delivery of their business-critical IT services.
CA Nimsoft Monitor Snap:
- Can be up and running in as little as an hour, rather than requiring extensive setup and configuration
- Provides robust performance and availability monitoring capabilities for network resources, physical and virtual servers, storage, databases and more in a single, fully-integrated solution—in marked contrast to other vendor offerings that require multiple products with varying levels of integration
- Is free for up to 30 monitored devices each with unlimited monitors—not a limited time-trial
CA Nimsoft Monitor Snap addresses the needs of emerging enterprises — which lack the resources of their large corporate counterparts, but are no less dependent on the health of their IT environments.
It also gives large enterprise IT organizations and departmental IT service teams the unique opportunity to adopt next-generation management technology without cost or unnecessary risk — allowing them to more aggressively drive down operational costs and better safeguard service delivery as their IT environments become increasingly dynamic.
CA Nimsoft Monitor Snap provides:
- Dashboards, alarms and guided workflows to help users quickly pinpoint and resolve issues
- Built-in “tips and tricks” and best practices that flatten users’ learning curves and speed time-to-value
The initial release of CA Nimsoft Monitor Snap supports English, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese. It is built on the same code base as CA Nimsoft Monitor release 7. CA Technologies plans to synchronize future releases of both products, which will continue to retain the same code base.
CA Technologies has created a community support site, CA Snap Central, that is open to everyone, including CA Nimsoft Monitor Snap customers. The site includes a community discussion board, free documentation, a knowledge base, instructional videos and a forum for sharing ideas for future releases.
