Zenoss Delivers Visualization and Service Assurance Monitoring to the Cloud

Whether deploying a private, public, or hybrid cloud the fundamentals of systems management and monitoring do not change. Operations must have unified visibility and real-time awareness of their entire cloud infrastructure.

The only way for an IT organization to increase the usage of private and public clouds is if they can meet the operational needs of the business.

Dynamic resource prioritization means that cloud servers come and go and change constantly. Provisioning multiple monitoring products for this type of environment is not a scalable approach. However, adding yet another specialized tool for one-off monitoring the cloud is an even less desirable option.

The right choice is Zenoss - a single product that manages physical, virtual, and cloud devices for complete cloud monitoring. It provides comprehensive cloud monitoring of networks, devices, and relationships.

Model-driven cloud monitoring ensures relevance

Zenoss automatically maintains a comprehensive model of every device – hardware, software, virtualization and network relationships – and uses that model to ensure the right monitoring policies are always applied.

With cloud devices, Zenoss can model immediately as each server is instantiated. There is no wait for an agent to be deployed and configured – Zenoss provides comprehensive cloud monitoring using functions built into operating systems and applications by manufacturers.

For providers using tools such as VMware vCloud, Zenoss Enterprise provides a unified service assurance console that brings together the operational insights needed to effectively operate a private or public cloud at scale.

• End-to-end operations management provided through reporting, alerting and action scripting
• Secure, multi-tenant portal and/or open data integration capabilities enabling self-service visibility
• Operational insight needed for capacity planning and management

Cloud computing is about increased organizational agility provided through the ability to add and remove resources as demands change. Shouldn't your cloud monitoring system help you instead of holding you back? The Zenoss approach is as agile as cloud computing.
