NMS helps enable RapidScale to ensure optimal availability and performance of hosted services and applications, while providing customers with greater understanding of their own customers' end-user experience through transaction monitoring.

RapidScale delivers infrastructure, desktop and disaster recovery as hosted services to clients across diverse industries. Many of these clients have multiple locations across the globe and depend on technology infrastructure and applications to keep business running 24/7.  With end-to-end, unified monitoring capabilities, NMS enables RapidScale to fine-tune applications and services according to the client's needs, thereby improving service availability and performance.

"NMS delivers the flexibility we need to respond to client requirements, so we can differentiate ourselves from other IaaS providers," said William Hiatt, co-founder and CTO at RapidScale.  "With NMS, we are able to offer clients co-control over their environments, which in turn gives them peace of mind. At any time, they can sign into the NMS portal to understand the end user experience, helping them enforce their service-level agreements and provide an optimal experience to their own customers."

Additionally, the solution's flexibility allows RapidScale to accommodate diverse client requirements. NMS unifies monitoring across platforms, applications and infrastructure, greatly simplifying the process of monitoring multiple client environments and providing RapidScale's internal staff and clients a single view of their systems.

"To succeed, RapidScale has to meet the needs of demanding clients running complex applications with high availability and performance requirements," said Gary Read, Nimsoft CEO. "By providing comprehensive visibility into the behavior of those applications, NMS helps RapidScale rigorously protect its clients' interests—and thereby deliver greater value in a highly competitive cloud marketplace."
