Nimsoft

Nimsoft was a SaaS-based IT infrastructure and application monitoring and service-desk company, founded in 1998 as Nimbus Software in Oslo, Norway and later headquartered in Redwood City, California. Backed by Northzone and JMI Equity, it was acquired by CA Technologies in March 2010 for roughly $350 million, after which its products were folded into CA Unified Infrastructure Management (UIM). CA was in turn acquired by Broadcom in 2018, and the former Nimsoft monitoring capability now lives on as Broadcom DX Unified Infrastructure Management. The www.nimsoft.com domain today resolves to Broadcom infrastructure, and Nimsoft has no independent developer portal, public API, or OpenAPI surface of its own.

Nimsoft is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Enterprise, Monitoring, IT Operations, and Observability.
