What is "nmis"

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.
