AUSTIN, TX, March 07, 2010
/24-7PressRelease/ -- Zenoss Inc., corporate sponsor of the award winning open source IT monitoring and management solution Zenoss Core, today announced the general availability of Zenoss Core version 2.5.2 under the GNU General Public License (V2). As part of this release, Zenoss Core now offers new monitoring capabilities for the Xen Hypervisor via the Zenoss Xen monitoring plug-in, or Xen Virtual Hosts ZenPack.
The Xen Virtual Hosts ZenPack discovers guests on Xen para-virtualized hosts and provides monitoring of performance and availability via SSH. While the Xen hosts run on physical servers, the virtual guests are listed per host and linked back to any discovered instances on the network. With this ZenPack, administrators can quickly find the associated hosts and guests and monitor their Xen virtual infrastructure along side their entire physical, virtual, and cloud-based IT environment through a single interface.
"We are committed to making sure Zenoss Core addresses the growing use of virtualization and cloud-based technologies," said Mark R. Hinkle, Vice President of Community. "By distributing Xen monitoring software as open source, we are enabling a large set of organizations who previously had no tools to manage their virtual assets to monitor virtual and physical IT infrastructure from one powerful, easy to use solution."
Version 2.5.2 of Zenoss Core and the Xen Virtual Hosts ZenPack are available for download from the Zenoss Open Source Community website:
