The Netware System Probe monitors your Netware systems around-the-clock to detect critical performance problems on key system components, such as disks, NLMs, connections, users, statistics, logfiles, printers and messages, before they have an impact on system performance. Alerts are issued automatically when automated or manual intervention is required. The Netware System Probe automatically pre-scans the Novell system and defines individual monitoring points and threshold values.

Fig. 1 The NetWare System Probe allows you to quickly and easily define and modify monitoring thresholds and conditions across your NetWare system components.

"We understood at the outset that effective service level monitoring was very important for a successful managed service. We did extensive vetting of various options, including side-by-side testing of "real world" scenarios in our SuperLabs facility. We chose the NimBUS product based on its strong performance and features, such as real-time service level monitoring and customized dashboards.

In addition, the ease of incorporating NimBUS into our managed service offering was another strong factor in our decision."
