Zenoss Releases New Version of its Enterprise IT Monitoring Product

June 2, 2009 - PRLog -- Annapolis, MD –  Zenoss Inc., the fastest-growing alternative to the "Big 4" for enterprise network and systems monitoring, today released a new version of its award-winning software, Zenoss Enterprise. The new product release dramatically eases the burden of managing and administering enterprise IT monitoring, providing companies with one product to discover, monitor, alert, and report. The company is backing Zenoss Enterprise implementations with an industry-first guarantee of 50% or more cost savings on licensing, maintenance, and deployment compared to traditional products from HP, IBM, CA, and BMC.*
 
“Zenoss' customer base continues to grow as HP, IBM, CA and BMC customers say enough is enough," said Bill Karpovich, co-founder and CEO of Zenoss. "Companies are no longer willing to let their IT monitoring requirements be held hostage by vendors imposing exorbitant costs, too much complexity, and multi-product requirements. This marks a new day in enterprise IT monitoring – customers get the functionality, support, and flexibility they demand at a price that makes sense.”
 
“Zenoss Enterprise excels in meeting D & E Communication’s IT monitoring needs,” said Troy Wingenroth, VP of IT, D & E Communications. “We have significantly reduced our costs and streamlined our monitoring operations with Zenoss’ one product to discover, monitor, alert, and report.”

   Scalable Secure, Monitoring of Linux/Unix Servers - Easy to deploy, agent-less monitoring for Linux and Unix that doesn't compromise scalability or security
   Monitoring of Internal or External Web Services -  A simple GUI-based configuration able to monitor any cloud-based service
