Zenoss Expands IT Management Solution for Managed Service Providers

New Features Include Multi-Tenant Network Management, Simplified Scaling and 24x7 Support

ANNAPOLIS, MD--(Marketwire - July 1, 2008) - Zenoss, Inc., a leading provider of open source network, systems and application management software, today released the latest version of Zenoss for Service Providers. Designed to meet the IT infrastructure monitoring and management needs of service providers -- including current customers such as Rackspace, SugarCRM, OpSource and Coleman Technologies -- the latest version includes new multi-tenancy features, improved scalability, and favorable pricing options that enable xSPs to more closely align costs with revenues.

"Managed service providers are under constant pressure to meet high service levels while competing for new business," said Bill Karpovich, CEO and Co-Founder of Zenoss. "This latest release makes it even easier and more cost-effective for companies delivering services in the cloud to share, scale and differentiate their offerings."

Zenoss for Service Providers is an integrated network, server and application management software product that includes auto-discovery, inventory management, configuration tracking, availability monitoring, performance management, event/log management, remediation, alerting and reporting, all through a single web-based console.

Designed specifically for companies who are delivering IT infrastructure as a commercial service, Zenoss for Service Providers addresses the unique challenges facing cloud-based service providers including: multi-tenant capabilities, open/flexible architecture, scalability to tens of thousands of managed resources, expert support services and compelling economics.

"Our logic for moving to Zenoss has been validated at every turn," said Dave Winter, Manager, Managed Services at Coleman Technologies. "Its open flexibility gives us the control we needed, its modern underlying technology and deep out of the box functionality enable us to do things we could not with our prior solution, and it's much less expensive than solutions from the Big 4."
