SANTA ANA, Calif., Aug. 31 /PRNewswire/ -- Addressing channel partners' need for a scalable, mid to large IT management and monitoring solution, Ingram Micro Inc. (NYSE: IM) today announced a powerful alliance with Nimsoft, an emerging channel favorite and leading provider of next generation performance and availability monitoring solutions.
Under the new alliance, Ingram Micro North America will bring to market the entire portfolio of Nimsoft Monitoring Solutions under Ingram Micro Services Division's trusted Seismic brand.

According to Seismic partner Dan Sottile of Long View Systems, one of North America's leading IT Solutions and Managed Services companies, Nimsoft was the clear leader for his company's needs when it came to providing advanced monitoring and alerting to its mid-market and enterprise clients. "Not only are we able to use the Nimsoft tool to provide advanced monitoring and alerting on a diverse range of software applications and operating systems, we are also able to use their Service Level Management tool to provide our clients with a clearer view of the business value and impact of the systems that we are managing for them," explains Sottile. "This new relationship with Ingram Micro will certainly bring added partner value to the Seismic services portfolio."
"We're very proud to team with Ingram Micro Seismic and enable its channel partners with the technology they need to pursue and win larger deals that represent much more complex IT environments and stringent SLAs," says Gary Read, president and CEO of Nimsoft. "Our enterprise-ready, advanced performance and availability monitoring solution is proven to dramatically enhance the overall service capabilities of an MSP partner, while increasing their profitability and delivering better ROI to their clients. It's a partner promise we are proud to share with Ingram Micro Seismic."
"This alliance with Nimsoft is a real game changer for Ingram Micro partners, especially those who are already playing in the mid-market and enterprise space, and selling core infrastructure technologies such as data center solutions, unified communications, and security," says Justin Crotty, vice president of services, Ingram Micro North America. "The end-game for any MSP who is serious about success is managing the network, regardless of the size and complexity of that network, and all that connects to it. By adding Seismic Enterprise Monitoring to the existing mid-market focused offerings in the Seismic portfolio, we're enabling our partners to do that and more."
