Zenoss Service Dynamics 4.2 Released with Unified Monitoring for Cisco Converged Infrastructure

Zenos announced the availability of Zenoss Service Dynamics 4.2.

The biggest IT challenge in the cloud era remains managing complexity and the ability for IT operations to maintain necessary service levels in the modern data center. IT operations must have the capability to deliver products and services that depend on a combination of legacy infrastructure and today’s converged offerings.

Zenoss Service Dynamics 4.2 provides the ability to monitor, model, and visualize an organization’s infrastructure, no matter how heterogeneous. IT leaders must have confidence that they can monitor the entire data center and reduce complexity through advanced service-based monitoring.

Organizations can gain new flexibility and scalability with Zenoss Service Dynamics 4.2:

- Native Cisco Converged Infrastructure support for Cisco’s Virtual Multiservice Data Center (VMDC 2.2) reference architecture.

- Unified heterogeneous monitoring across legacy IT infrastructure and new converged infrastructure solutions like VMDC.

- Smart Cisco element discovery, classification and infrastructure service modeling support.

- Over 50% faster user interface in large deployments, employing the fastest, most feature rich and browser-compatible ExtJS framework yet.

- Intelligent tuning advisor, takes the guesswork out of running Zenoss at scale while reducing operational overhead and improving infrastructure utilization.

- Optimized task engine for enhanced scalability, usability and performance. Keep staff moving while complex operational tasks are executed in the background.

“Zenoss Service Dynamics 4.2 is the most flexible and scalable IT monitoring and management solution for the modern hybrid data center,” said Chris Smith, CMO of Zenoss. “Legacy solutions from big software companies are quickly becoming obsolete as cloud services become more widely deployed and IT infrastructure becomes more dynamic, automated and complex, and more complexity means organizations rely more on solutions like Zenoss to ensure service delivery.”
