Zenoss extends capabilities of CloudStack ZenPack to provide a deep view of CloudStack Platform

2012/05/09

Citrix Synergy Booth #906, San Francisco CA --(Marketwire - May 9, 2012) - Today at Citrix Synergy, Zenoss, a leading provider of unified IT operations software for physical, virtual, and cloud-based IT infrastructure, announced the enhancement of its free and open source CloudStack ZenPack. The new ZenPack will extend monitoring and correlation capabilities to VMs running on CloudStack for a more unified view of the CloudStack infrastructure. Zenoss will be demonstrating the new CloudStack ZenPack at Citrix Synergy in San Francisco, May 9 – 11 at the CloudStack Community Pavilion in booth #906. CloudStack has an underlying core of VMs that are key to the system’s operation. The new CloudStack ZenPack now monitors these VMs, including router VMs, secondary storage VMs and console proxy VMs, to ensure service performance on CloudStack.

Now CloudStack users have a deeper understanding of the performance of these systems and how they correlate to other devices within the infrastructure with a unified view of the service rather than individual technical components.

"Last month, CloudStack became the first cloud platform in the industry to be submitted to the Apache Software Foundation, with a mission of delivering a powerful, proven, hypervisor-agnostic platform that helps customers of all sizes build robust clouds," said Chet Luther, Principal Engineer and Architect of the CloudStack ZenPack. "Zenoss aims to support this mission by working with our commercial and open source customers to continue enhancing our CloudStack ZenPack and providing a powerful unified monitoring solution for CloudStack deployments.”

Stop by the Zenoss booth to learn more about the CloudStack ZenPack and be sure to catch Technical Evangelist and Sr. Director of Marketing and Community Floyd Strimling’s talk during the free Build a Cloud Workshop where attendees will learn how to build elastic, scalable and profitable open source clouds.
