The SQL Server Monitoring Probe constantly monitors the internal performance and space allocation throughout the SQL Server database and feeds essential information based on pre-defined criteria to the Availability Manager for appropriate alert notification when required.

An extensive range of pre-defined alerts are delivered with the SQL Server Monitoring Probe and these can quickly be extended to meet the needs of specific monitoring requirements.

"With a single tool we can now provide a complete end-to-end picture of all components of an application and their integrated performance versus the straight-line, element-focused approach from before.

Because of NimBUS' easy drag-and-drop templates, we were able to cut down migration time considerably, get customers up and running with new NimBUS monitoring quickly and turn off the old systems. IntelliNet was able to convert all of its customers to NimBUS in less than 6 months."
