NMIS (acronym for Network Management Information System) is an open source network management system that was first released in 1998. Licensed free of charge under the GNU General Public License the software has been implemented globally and is used by over 20,000 organisations around the world. Originally written by Keith Sinclair (http://sins.com.au/nmis) and with later substantial input from Eric Greenwood, the intellectual property for NMIS was purchased 〔()〕 by commercial open source software company Opmantek in early 2011 under a stated commitment to keep “NMIS free and lead the community to rapidly advance the product”. NMISv8 was released by Opmantek shortly after and remains free and open source. Additional modules and support provided by Opmantek are available to extend the capabilities of NMIS. ==History== NMIS started as an SNMP polling and statistics viewer front-end to Tobias Oetiker’s RRDTool.〔()〕 At the time RRDTool and MRTG did not include a front or back end to handle SNMP polling and to display resulting information in a web interface. NMIS was written to fill in the gaps in existing available products and provide one system which met the large number of requirements of network managers. NMIS was developed to be proactive, provide reporting, and give the status of the network "at a glance" by Keith Sinclair in 1998. Mr Sinclair released the code as open source and nurtured community involvement. Eric Greenwood become a major contributor in 2004 and is acknowledged as a co-founder. In 2011 the intellectual property rights to NMIS were acquired by Opmantek. Opmantek has added significant development to the free NMIS product while creating numerous commercial modules which they license for a fee. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「NMIS」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
