Datacenter Operations

The rate of change in today's datacenter is higher than ever. The agility of virtualization and cloud technologies means yesterday's approach of selecting multiple tools and integrating them over many months just doesn't seem to work any longer. Keeping up with change is too much work across too many products and data center administrators spend too little time with customers and too much time with tools.

The Zenoss Unlegacy approach meets the demands of monitoring today's data centers. Zenoss works with all the devices in your data center, tracking configuration and relationship changes in its model and applying consistent templates based on the results. You get comprehensive monitoring – configuration, eventing, performance – all in one product.

Model-driven Management is the Key Difference

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. You'll see less administrative work every day with more accurate results.

Model-managed relationships make it faster to resolve issues, too. Verify a performance issue by examining a predictive threshold violation on a synthetic database query and with a few mouse clicks you're identifying the problem as an overloaded interface on a network storage device. Hear that an intranet site is down and track down a failing branch office router? With automatically maintained relationships and a single tool covering networks, servers, and applications you'll no longer have to jump from tool to tool to tool – it's faster and simpler every day.

The comprehensive Zenoss model extends to physical location of devices within your datacenter. With the Datacenter view you can place collections of devices within racks and individual devices onto a background bitmap of your datacenter floor plan; view status by device and rollup status within the physical view, and view devices within rack elevations. Rack elevations are automatically built and continuously maintained by model data.

You'll save effort and time with Zenoss and our Unlegacy approach to monitoring. It's both simpler and more cost effective than traditional IT management solutions.
