HCL MyCloud Watch integrates Nimsoft Monitor

CALIFORNIA: Nimsoft on Monday announced that HCL Technologies, a global IT services provider, has integrated Nimsoft Monitor into HCL MyCloud Watch, a hybrid cloud monitoring offering that provides unified monitoring of client infrastructure and services.

Nimsoft Monitor delivers essential remote monitoring, event correlation and analysis capabilities not available from the standard Vblock Infrastructure Packages.

Built on the HCL Management Tools as a Service (MTaaS) delivery platform, HCL MyCloud Watch leverages Nimsoft Monitor and its multi-tenant architecture to optimize visibility into complex computing environments, while reducing operational costs.

Nimsoft Monitor was selected for its advanced monitoring capabilities, as well as its lightweight monitoring stack designed to make it fast and easy to deploy, without compromising functionality.

“Our constant endeavor is to provide best in class functionality to accelerate the adoption of cloud services,” said Kalyan Kumar, AVP and head-cross functional services, HCL ISD, HCL Technologies. “Nimsoft Monitor fulfilled both our technical and business requirements, providing us with a flexible, agile solution that is cloud-ready and readily applicable to a full range of client environments,” he added.

HCL MyCloud Watch supports Vblock Infrastructure Packages, which integrate components from Cisco, EMC and VMware.

Its support for Vblock can enable end-to-end performance and availability monitoring of the network storage, compute and application layers in HCL clients’ infrastructures. Additionally, HCL MyCloud Watch will allow heterogeneous monitoring of private and public cloud platforms and services.

Nimsoft Monitor is a component of Nimsoft Unified Manager, a multi-tenant IT Management-as-a-Service solution that combines industry-leading infrastructure monitoring and ready-to-use ITIL-based service management capabilities in a single solution.

“Global IT services companies like HCL succeed by leveraging lightweight cloud solutions that enable them to offer their clients compelling value propositions, without burdening themselves with a lot of IT complexity,” said Chris O’Malley, Nimsoft CEO. “Nimsoft Monitor is being widely embraced by these providers precisely because it delivers rich functionality in such an adaptable and cost-effective way.”
