Zenoss: Unlegacy IT Management for the Dynamic Datacenter

Operations monitoring requires a dynamic model today...

Monitoring IT service to an application in a non-virtualized, 'static' world can be a tough challenge. It requires the ability to understand and map how resources and workloads relate to one another and to the application or business service. It also requires the ability to share that information across the operations disciplines and infrastructure involved in the IT service delivery. Because most legacy tools have no integrated real-time model they suffer from excess costs, complexity and problem solving latency.

...and tomorrow

In a highly virtualized world with rapidly changing dynamic workloads and resource allocations, a continuous understanding of how a service or an application maps to and performs within the current state of the infrastructure configuration is imperative. It requires a very tight coupling and feedback loop between configuration, performance and events across the entire supporting infrastructure.

Because of the sheer volume and complexity of this dynamic environment, legacy tools and their 'static' configuration databases are useless. A dynamic real-time model is required – one that sits at the heart of operations monitoring in such a way that it provides relevant and timely insight into service delivery.

Your infrastructure is dynamic; your monitoring solution needs to be, too.

Zenoss Enterprise is a next generation, Unlegacy IT management product that improves the monitoring of service to business applications and supporting infrastructure in the dynamic datacenter.

  • Powerful model-driven design dynamically unifies the operations monitoring of discovery and configuration, performance and availability monitoring, fault and event monitoring, alerting and remediation and reporting and analysis
  • Proven enterprise-grade scalability meets the demands of highly virtualized datacenters
  • Unified business services monitoring no matter where the infrastructure exists: physical, virtual, or in the cloud
  • Single product eliminates the need to purchase and maintain multiple incompatible tools
  • Designed to allow you to transition your service monitoring to the next generation dynamic, virtualized datacenter while saving money today

Consider this simple scenario:

Yesterday at 3:12 pm: Service to a critical application was slow but you were unable to troubleshoot why with your current legacy tools since the configuration had changed. Legacy management tools simply fail in this circumstance.

With Zenoss Enterprise and its model-driven management you can review the historical configuration at that moment in time and see all of the infrastructure dependencies that comprised the service delivery in order to troubleshoot the problem. With Zenoss Enterprise, you get relevant, timely insight.

Go ahead, ask your current legacy vendor about their dynamic model. They'll probably tell you that they are just going to simply bolt one on. After you finish laughing, contact Zenoss and find out why thousands of the world's brand name enterprises are turning to Zenoss for an Unlegacy IT management experience.
