2009/01/29

Annapolis, MD – January 29, 2009 – Zenoss Inc., a leading provider of commercial open source IT systems management and network monitoring software, today announced it will exhibit at the 18th annual West 2009 Conference, February 11-13 in San Diego, California. Zenoss (booth 447) will demonstrate Zenoss Enterprise, its enterprise virtualization management solution, which delivers native VMware monitoring across the full virtualization infrastructure lifecycle.

Co-sponsored by AFCEA International (Armed Forces Communications and Electronics Association) and the U.S. Naval Institute, West 2009 is the largest state-of-the-art defense and technology exposition and conference on the West Coast, offering an exclusive opportunity to engage military and industry leaders who are designating warfighting strategies and operational platforms. The conference features technical sessions on specific information management technology programs and trends within the U.S. military and government agencies.

“Hundreds of government agencies are experiencing budget cutbacks, and at the same time tasked with managing some of the world’s most mission critical systems,” said Phil Higgs, Zenoss Director of Government Sales. ”Zenoss solutions are in a unique position to provide IT monitoring solutions that offer both deep functionality and affordability to all levels of government.”

Management Features of Zenoss Enterprise include:

• Native, agentless VMware monitoring of entire virtualization infrastructure
• Automatic discovery and inventory of all virtual infrastructure (VI3) components including virtual machines, ESX Servers, clusters, and VMware data stores
• Physical and virtual resource usage and performance (memory, disk, CPU, and more)
• Real-time detection when virtual machines move from one VMware host to another (called VMotion)
• Physical and virtual performance and availability information correlated and displayed in a single, central web console

"The significant increase in the public sector’s focus on cost control is certainly indicative of the challenges facing government today," said Bill Karpovich, CEO and co-founder, Zenoss. “West 09 is an ideal venue to showcase our solutions and help attendees from the public sector solve IT challenges with an affordable and powerful monitoring solution that covers both physical and virtual environments.”
