Nimsoft Acquires Layer2/Layer3 Discovery, Topology Mapping and Root Cause Analysis Intellectual Property From Cittio

REDWOOD CITY, CA, May 18 (MARKET WIRE) --
Nimsoft Inc., the Big 4 alternative for IT performance and availability
monitoring solutions, today announced that it had acquired the
Intellectual Property assets of Cittio Inc., a former provider of
automated network and systems monitoring software. Financial details were
not disclosed. The purchase, which includes extended capabilities in the
areas of layer2/layer3 network discovery, topology mapping and root cause
analysis, will enable Nimsoft to rapidly deliver these advanced
capabilities within its core products, further strengthening its ability
to monitor the performance and availability of an organization's entire
physical, virtual and cloud infrastructure.

The technology, already deployed in multiple Cittio customers, will create
and display an accurate topology of the customer's IT infrastructure by
using powerful discovery capabilities that will discover the
infrastructure, including both the physical and virtual elements. This
will extend to all network elements at Layer 2 and Layer 3 and, when
combined with Nimsoft's state of the art monitoring solution, will drive
automated Root Cause Analysis. Nimsoft will be continuing the advancement
of these technologies, hiring several former Cittio engineers.

"Nimsoft's approach has always been to bring Performance & Availability
Monitoring solutions to our customers to drive greater operational
efficiency, agility and ultimately, profitability," said Gary Read,
president and CEO of Nimsoft. "With this purchase, we will be accelerating
the delivery of this advanced functionality normally associated with
specialized or expensive network monitoring products. This was an item
that was already on our development roadmap, but purchase will enable us
to deliver more rapidly."

Dave Durkee, CEO of cloud-based infrastructures provider Enki, said, "I
was very familiar with the Cittio technology at the time that we elected
to move forward with Nimsoft. We were more comfortable with the breadth of
Nimsoft's solution as well as solid financial position of the company. Now
it looks like I'll be getting the advanced pieces of Cittio's solution as
part of my Nimsoft investment thus further validating my decision. Nimsoft
is clearly a company on a mission and I'm not aware of anyone that comes
close to their capabilities at this point."
