Zenoss announced the general availability of Zenoss Cloud, an intelligent IT operations management platform.

The company's next-generation cloud-native offering enables businesses to prevent IT outages and optimize cloud and on-premises systems as they undergo digital transformation, a business requirement for the survival of companies across all industries.

Technology vendors have taken many different approaches over the years to help prevent IT service outages and improve overall IT performance. These approaches include infrastructure monitoring, artificial intelligence operations, log analytics and more. Some approaches collect performance data from systems directly, some rely on logs, some rely on events, while others rely on data sent from agents. Zenoss Cloud combines all of these approaches.

The key to successfully achieving this strategy was developing the unique ability to collect and analyze all types of structured and unstructured data in the same context. Zenoss Cloud introduces an operations data plane that streams and normalizes all machine data, uniquely enabling this emergence of context for preventing IT service disruptions in complex, modern environments.

Zenoss Cloud enables businesses to:

- Prevent the risk associated with accelerating digital transformation

- Support new business models

- Transition IT to event-driven outcomes

- Apply consistent monitoring policies across all cloud and on-premises systems

- Evolve from availability and performance to capacity and optimization

- Deliver management as a service for DevOps

- Streamline across teams with collaboration workflows (ChatOps)

- Drive new efficiencies with Smart View, the machine learning–powered intelligent, dynamic user interface

Zenoss Cloud is powered by Google Cloud Platform (GCP), leveraging the most powerful machine learning and real-time analytics of streaming data to give companies the ability to scale and adapt to the changing needs of their businesses. All components of GCP are also FedRAMP certified, taking advantage of Google Cloud's world-class security.
