Ton Voon, Product Architect, said: “The speed and scalability enhancements to Opsview Enterprise reinforces its pedigree as a top tier open source IT monitoring system.

“Opsview Enterprise provides a clear example of how popular free software can be turbo-charged and professionally supported to deliver enterprise-grade functionality and performance at a fraction of the cost of legacy proprietary systems.”

"Global brands including Ericsson, Microsoft, Allianz and Electronic Arts have turned to Opsview Enterprise."

According to Cameron Haight and Raymond Paquet, Gartner Inc: “The worsening economy is forcing many IT organisations to review their IT spending to see where prudent cuts may be made. Operations management technology should not be immune from this examination.”

“Gartner believes that many IT organizations are ‘overinsured’ — at least with respect to Global 2000 companies’ investments in management tooling.”

“Organisations will choose competitively priced products that include open-source management (OSM) products, among others, to meet the needs of several tiers of service-level requirements.”
