Accelerate your Business with Zenoss Open Source Network and Systems Management Solutions.

Opportunity

According to Forrester Research, the IT Systems Management market was estimated to be $15 billion in 2007. Today this segment is dominated by the 'Big 4' systems management vendors (IBM, HP, CA and BMC). However, this market is poised to be shaken up by the disruptive force of open source software. A recent Gartner report highlighted the dramatic market transformation that is just on the horizon. "Inflexible, expensive proprietary solutions from the 'Big 4' vendors simply do not provide enough additional value, in comparison to open source alternatives, to justify the magnitude more cost." A related Gartner survey confirmed high levels of dissatisfaction and 55% of survey respondents said they would consider open source alternatives to those offered by the "Big 4". With the #1 open source network and systems management product in the world, Zenoss is poised to capitalize on this seismic shift. The market opportunity is clear and Zenoss and our partners are uniquely positioned to seize it.
