Zenoss released expanded monitoring capabilities for OpenStack, the most widely deployed open-source platform for building and managing private and public clouds.
Started by NASA and Rackspace in 2010, OpenStack is now one of the most active open-source projects in the world.
The Open Infrastructure Foundation (OIF) reports that the COVID-19 pandemic has brought new levels of demand for OpenStack-based public and private clouds, increasing the number of cores deployed by 66% year on year. According to foundation statistics, more than 100 new OpenStack clouds have been deployed in the last 18 months, and the total number of cores under OpenStack control now exceeds 25 million.
Globally, 71% of service providers are either in production or plan to be in production with OpenStack in the next 12 months, and Microsoft has recently joined the ranks of platinum-level members of the OIF.
Zenoss initially released monitoring and analytics capabilities for OpenStack in 2014 and has continuously expanded those capabilities to become the leading monitoring platform for OpenStack. Zenoss provides full-stack monitoring and AIOps for public and private OpenStack clouds and the most popular OpenStack components, including Nova, Neutron, Cinder, Swift and more. This features service impact modeling and root-cause analysis as well as the overall OpenStack state, including all tenants.
"The world of modern applications continues to transition toward ephemeral systems and automation," said Ani Gujrathi, CTO for Zenoss. “In this world, it’s even more critical to have full-stack visibility to ensure application health and performance, and Zenoss continues to lead the way in that endeavor.”
Zenoss Cloud is the leading AI-driven full-stack monitoring platform that streams and normalizes all machine data, uniquely enabling the emergence of context for preventing service disruptions in complex, modern IT environments, including those built on OpenStack and Kubernetes. Zenoss Cloud leverages the most powerful machine learning and real-time analytics to give companies the ability to scale and adapt to the changing needs of their businesses.

Cloud migration was supposed to be a one-way door. For most enterprises, it turns out it isn't. Cloud data repatriation is a real and growing trend. A new survey ... finds that 89% of organizations plan to expand their on-premises infrastructure footprint over the next two years — and 75% have already moved at least some workloads back from public cloud in the past 24 months. The findings point to a broad rethinking of where data belongs ...
Over the past few years, large language models (LLMs) have revolutionized the software industry. Given their ability to excel at multi-step reasoning, LLMs have helped enterprises streamline workflows and adapt to the unknown. However, employing such models comes with sky-high costs, latency issues, and limited flexibility. In the realm of IT operations, it is generally wiser to employ smaller, domain-specific models instead ...
For years, DevOps teams operated under a simple assumption: collect enough telemetry, and you can find and fix any problem. That assumption is breaking down. Modern enterprises now operate across microservices, hybrid cloud environments, APIs, Kubernetes, and highly automated delivery pipelines. Releases happen continuously, dependencies shift constantly, and failures spread faster than teams can diagnose them ...
New Relic surveyed IT and engineering leaders from the media and entertainment (M&E) sector to understand what's working — and where challenges persist with their observability practices. The findings reveal how M&E organizations are navigating rising platform complexity, audience expectations, and AI-driven change. Below are five takeaways that stand out ...
Let me start with something I've seen play out more times than I can count. A team hits a wall with the cloud. Costs creep up, then spike. Performance starts to feel inconsistent. Someone in finance asks a simple question like "why did this double?" and nobody has a clean answer ... Maybe this isn't the right place for everything. That realization feels like a breakthrough, like you've identified the problem. In reality, you've just identified the starting line ...

In cloud-native systems, scaling is often as simple as moving a slider. For on-premise databases, the stakes are different. Over-provisioning hardware is expensive. Under-provisioning leads to performance bottlenecks that are difficult to fix once the equipment is in the rack ...
When most people think about cybersecurity, they picture firewalls, encryption, and access controls — technical tools designed to protect systems and data. But beneath the technology lies a deeper set of principles about trust, decision-making, and resilience ... The best leaders don't eliminate risk. They manage it intelligently. And in many ways, cybersecurity offers a surprisingly useful playbook for doing exactly that ...
Many organizations assumed their infrastructure strategy was settled. It had been implemented, optimized and built into long-term plans. Recent changes in technology and vendor consolidation are forcing a second look. Cloud outages and licensing changes have exposed how much dependency exists on a small number of platforms. As a result, organizations are reevaluating whether those decisions still hold up under current conditions ...
