Zenoss Launches Next-Generation SaaS Platform for Intelligent IT Operations Management

AUSTIN, Texas, June 21, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Zenoss Inc., a leader in software-defined IT operations, today announced Zenoss Cloud, the 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 most companies across all industries.

Vendors across many segments have long endeavored to help prevent IT service outages and improve overall IT performance. These vendors have taken different approaches, including infrastructure monitoring, artificial intelligence operations, log analytics and more. Some approaches collect performance data from systems directly, some rely on events, some rely on logs, while others rely on data sent from agents. Zenoss Cloud represents one of the first platforms that encompasses 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.

"The ability to capture and contextualize machine data is becoming increasingly crucial to identifying and solving performance problems," said Nancy Gohring, senior analyst at 451 Research. "This capability only grows in importance for businesses that need to manage the insane complexity of modern IT environments."

Zenoss Cloud enables businesses to:

• Prevent the risk associated with accelerating digital transformation
• Support new business models
