The folks at Zenoss have been busy. The open source network and systems monitoring vendor just released Zenoss Core 2.4 last month and announced today that its Enterprise edition has a new version out as well. Zenoss Enterprise 2.4 sports several new features and improvements, and also a little added incentive that many IT managers will have a hard time not giving a second look.
Zenoss Enterprise is pretty much a Swiss Army Knife of assorted monitoring tools. It works across a company's entire infrastructure to make sure all systems and apps are performing at their peak.
New features include:
Normalization of Metrics Across Heterogeneous Technologies - A single, consistent view of monitoring information across Linux, Unix and Microsoft Windows platforms that simplifies cross-platform management and enterprise reporting.
Scalable Secure, Monitoring of Linux/Unix Servers - Easy to deploy, agent-less monitoring for Linux and Unix that doesn't compromise scalability or security
Monitoring of Internal or External Web Services -Â A simple GUI-based configuration able to monitor any cloud-based service
VMware vSphere 4 Support - Extended management capabilities for virtualization management, including support for vSphere 4 and the new vCenter Server
Expanded Device and Applications Support - Turnkey plug-ins for more than 20 new target technologies include Linux, AIX, Nokia Firewalls and Barracuda Anti-Spam appliances; Zenoss monitors over 100 technologies directly out of the box   Â
Simplified Setup and Configuration - Point and click install and configuration wizard guide that greatly reduces setup time and simplifies configuration tasks
For anyone who's undecided about trying Zenoss Enterprise, the vendor is offering a pretty snazzy incentive. If you show Zenoss a maintenance bill or quote for an equivalent product from IBM, Hewlett Packard, CA, or BMC Software they'll price the Enterprise edition to save you at least 50% (check the company's Web site for further details on how to qualify).
