Zenoss Releases Service Assurance Monitoring Product for Private & Public Clouds based on Cisco UCS

2010/04/06

AUSTIN, TX – April 6, 2010 - Zenoss Inc., the fastest-growing provider of enterprise IT management products for physical, virtual, and cloud-based IT environments, today announced the beta availability of a new service assurance product that delivers end-to-end monitoring for private and public-clouds deployed on the Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS). With Zenoss Business-to-Blade monitoring for Cisco UCS, enterprises and service providers are now able to quickly and cost-effectively deploy a unified operations console for their UCS-based services.

Details:

  • Zenoss’ service assurance offering for Cisco UCS automatically discovers, interconnects and monitors the entire UCS environment from “Business-to-Blade™”. Components covered include: UCS internals (service profiles, chassis, blades, interconnects, and other components), external networking, storage, virtualization platforms, operating systems, middleware, applications, and end user services.
  • For each of these elements, Zenoss provides real-time performance, availability, and event management, along with configuration and workload dependency tracking. As service relationships in the environment change in real time, Zenoss automatically identifies the impact and updates its service dependency map.
  • With Zenoss, UCS users benefit from a unified operations console that provides real-time health for their UCS-based services along with integrated drill-down for rapid problem resolution and automated remediation.
  • With its unique commercial open source approach, Zenoss offers a flexible, cost-effective offering that is backed by world-class support services.
  • In addition to Cisco UCS monitoring, Zenoss also provides broad coverage of many Cisco technologies including routers, switches, firewalls, load balancers, unified communications and TelePresence.
  • The Cisco UCS management capabilities are included as part of a Zenoss Enterprise subscription. General availability is set for later this month.
