Jane�s presentation intends to show that with Zenoss you can monitor all your servers and network devices:

* Know when a critical device goes down
* Alert operations staff when urgent action is needed
* Know how much traffic is flowing on critical network links
* Know how hard your servers are working
* Watch load trends and plan for the future
* Verify SLA compliance

Zenoss has a web interface so you can use it from anywhere. It uses industry-standard protocols like SNMP, ssh and WMI so it can monitor almost anything � Windows, Linux, Cisco, HP and more. There is an extension mechanism so it can adapt to new requirements.

The core functionality is available free of charge so you can get started with no risk. A fully-supported commercial version is available for Enterprise deployments. Zenoss is an excellent replacement for products like IBM NetView, HP Openview, and Nagios.
