1&1 Internet selects Nimsoft Monitoring Solution for monitoring its entire server infrastructure 
(26/10/2009)
With about 1.2 billion Euros in revenues, 8 million customers, and 10 million domains being managed, 1&1 is the largest Web hosting provider in the world. In order to deliver its portfolio of shared and dedicated hosting, ISP, and new cloud computing services, 1&1 needs to manage a vast infrastructure that includes more than 65,000 servers.
Nimsoft has announced that 1&1 Internet has selected the Nimsoft Monitoring Solution (NMS) for monitoring its entire server infrastructure. The IT staff at 1&1 realised it needed to replace the existing open source monitoring solution in order to most effectively optimise the performance and reliability of its servers. After evaluating solutions from IBM, Hyperic and Nimsoft, the staff found that only NMS offered the combination of scalability, ease of deployment, and security they required.
“In the end, we found that Nimsoft was the only solution that met our requirements for scalability, ease, and off-the-shelf capabilities, while at the same time delivering the flexibility we’d need to adapt to our evolving requirements,” said Henning Kettler, CTO 1&1. “As a result, we’re able to deploy quickly and get immediate benefits and have confidence that the solution will deliver value in the long term.”
Its distributed architecture and security model makes NMS an ideal solution for large and geographically diverse businesses such as 1&1. The solution’s secure model for gathering and distributing monitoring data helps 1&1 optimise the security of its infrastructure while offering the scalability required to effectively aggregate the massive amounts of monitoring data being generated by the company’s server infrastructure.
“1&1’s selection of Nimsoft is a tremendous testament to the scalability of our solution,” said Gary Read, Nimsoft president and CEO. “With NMS, 1&1 gains the ability to efficiently monitor its vast infrastructure, and so reduce administrative time and expense, while at the same time boosting the availability and performance of its services.”
