2008/10/01 - Press Release

(October 1, 2008) – Zenoss Inc. today announced the expansion of its award-winning application, systems, and network management product line with a new offering built to address the specific needs of medium-sized IT organizations. Zenoss Professional Edition is now available to make enterprise-grade application, systems, and network monitoring accessible to IT operations through an integrated, affordable, easy-to-use offering.

"Until now medium-sized IT shops simply could not afford the powerful management tools they need to keep up with their growing IT environments," said Bill Karpovich, Zenoss co-founder and CEO. “Made possible by our unique approach, Zenoss Professional gives mid-market IT teams what they have been searching for – an integrated, affordable and commercially-supported solution to monitor their entire IT infrastructure."

• Zenoss Professional is a complete, integrated solution for managing the IT infrastructure including networks, servers, and applications. With a centralized Configuration Database (CMDB) and agentless monitoring technology, Zenoss Professional is quick and easy to deploy with the following features:
• Auto-discovery of all resources (such as network devices, servers, and applications), populating the CMDB with vital configuration and architectural information for each resource.
• Network Topology map with real-time updates showing all device-to-device relationships without any human programming or intervention
• Availability and performance monitoring – out of the box – for each network device, server, application, etc. using 100% agentless technology
• Inventory and Change Tracking with real-time alerting when changes occur so that IT staff always have a current view of the infrastructure.
• Aggregated log and event management using data from various sources including availability and performance monitors, syslogs, Windows Event Log, and SNMP trap sources
• Single web-based console, allowing all IT stakeholders to view their specific data through a single easy-to-user Web Portal
• Out-of-the-box reports for service levels management, capacity management, and more

Zenoss offers the best of both worlds – open source flexibility and professional service and support – a unique offering that was previously unattainable by organizations of this size.
