My counterpart in our production operations group as asked me about<br>
commercial monitoring packages, something along the lines of Opsview,<br>
OpenView, Netcool etc. However, I really don't have any experience<br>
with what's current in the commercial space. So, my question of the<br>
list is, does have a commercial package and/or vendor they like in<br>
this area?<br>
<br>
As a bit of background and to preemptively answer a few questions I'm<br>
bound to get in reply.<br>
1) Yes, it has to be commercial. The team that will be using this<br>
package doesn't have the mandate, expertise or people to deploy<br>
anything on their own. They're looking to buy a solution.<br>
2) We need to monitor 3 or 4 locations, ~ 750 Linux systems, ~ 50<br>
Windows systems, assorted Ethernet and Fibre channel network gear.<br></blockquote><div><br>I don't think this commercial requirement excludes open source solutions as there are commercially supported open source solutions in this space. Nagios, Zabbix, and Zenoss all have fully supported enterprise solutions.<br>
