Nimsoft has introduced Nimsoft Rackspace Cloud Monitor, a new tool for monitoring Rackspace cloud-based servers. Nimsoft collaborated with Rackspace to develop this new tool — which enables customers to track usage, performance and availability of cloud-based servers hosted by Rackspace.

Nimsoft Rackspace Cloud Monitor complements the Nimsoft Monitoring Solution (NMS), which enables organizations to monitor and manage a wide range of diverse applications and services, from the data center to the cloud, with a single easy-to-deploy solution.

“Organizations running applications on the server infrastructure hosted by Rackspace need to continually verify that those servers are performing optimally and pro-actively head off any problems that could potentially impact service levels,” says Gary Read, Nimsoft CEO. “With our no-charge Nimsoft Rackspace Cloud Monitor tool, administrators gain this essential visibility into their cloud infrastructure—while still enjoying all the economic and operational benefits of Rackspace hosting.”

Nimsoft Rackspace Cloud Monitor capabilities include:

- Intuitive, customizable dashboards display key performance metrics, including server bandwidth, disk space, number of bytes in storage accounts, and more.

- Configurable alarms notify users when problems or potential performance-degrading issues occur.

- Resource usage monitoring enables users to better understand and control on-going Rackspace cloud costs.

- Performance monitoring delivers specific metrics and vital insights into the responsiveness of servers and the overall infrastructure.
