« Previous EntriesDo we need a cloud standard or just one good old IT management standard?
Tuesday, July 1st, 2008It is my belief that what we today call the “cloud” will really just evolve into a complex IT infrastructure of the future, and in the end, will just be referred to as infrastructure. There is no doubt the traditional IT landscape of the last 20 years is going through a substantial transformation on […]
Taking the Hype out of Hyperic’s new Cloudstatus.
Monday, June 23rd, 2008Ok boys, slow down a bit there. I know we are all in a hurry to capitalize on the new industry buzz around the “Clouds”. However, after taking a brief look at Hyperic’s new CloudStatus, it looks like they are riding on all the “hype” associated with the cloud rather than looking for […]
Open Source Monitoring and The Art of War
Thursday, June 19th, 2008I get this question a lot when I visit a Tivoli customer…
We are thinking of looking at that Open Source vendor you are always talking about for some of our servers.
Then I ask them which one and they say jeez I can’t remember the name. Then I rattle off a few of the […]

The “Mighty” Have Been Demoted
Friday, May 9th, 2008William Vambenepe makes a good point on who should really be called the “Mighty” (Oracle, Microsoft, EMC) in his recent post. Sorry guys I guess it’s back to the “Little’s” again.

The Mighty “2.5″
Tuesday, May 6th, 2008Let’s say it was all the travel, maybe all the different time zones in 2 1/2 weeks. Add the “Wrath of Con” Tarus Balog with his relentless “Mouth of Open Source” might. I don’t know, I can’t think straight anymore. Therefore in my wisdom of all things known to be “Mighty” I therefore declare OpenNMS […]
April 2008 Review Post
Tuesday, May 6th, 2008The end of April has been a little crazy with me traveling to Japan, Australia, and Poland all in three weeks. However my “No Country for Old IT Guys” thread has been getting quite a bit of activity.
The month started with my first Cloud Café Podcast featuring James Urquhart of Cassatt and later […]
Why Only Two?
Friday, April 25th, 2008A few people have asked my why only two for my “Mighty Two”. I have been specifically asked why not OpenNMS and Nagios The simple answer is that Hyperic and Zenoss are software companies and OpenNMS and Nagios are projects. Both Hyperic and Zenoss both have software company infrastructures. This means they have full time […]
The Mighty Two - Zenoss
Monday, April 21st, 2008And then their were two…
With Qlusters gone and IMHO, Groundwork feeding off the bottom there are only two commercially viable open source enterprise systems management (ESM) monitoring tools left on the market. Back in Feburary I did a post about Hyperic and now I wanted to get up to speed on the other - […]

Red Hat and Hyperic Launch an New Open Source Project
Thursday, February 14th, 2008A few weeks back, I did my first ever press briefing with Hyperic. Blogging is a strange gig, and it brings you to unexpected places. Anyway, I had fun, but I really don’t like the “embargo” thing. I guess that I am too binary. Just tell me what I can say and […]
Why Are You Here?
Monday, February 11th, 2008In 1987, I took my first crack at starting my own business. At the time, I lived in northern Virginia and had completed my apprenticeship with some local software startups. I was lucky enough to meet an excellent mentor named Ray Padron, who helped me create a business plan and do the VC snake dance.

The Mighty Two (Part One)
Monday, February 4th, 2008About a year ago, Coté started a discussion regarding the “Big Four vs. Little Four.” A few months later, Gartner picked up on this idea and created a $495 white paper on the same subject. Coté’s free blog put a stake in the ground highlighting a new market segment in ESM. […]

“Adventures” in Open Source
Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008Tarus is shaking things up a little bit on his blog:
Show Me Da Money (a Cautionary Tale)
Why All the Hate?
Nicholas Carr Might be Right
Friday, December 14th, 2007The “Argument†itself might be proof that Carr is right! Why? Because it’s made its way down to our rusty corner of the world, ESM. My god, don’t even bother to read the complete argument. I felt that I needed to due to Scott Bar’s recent post on the Tivoli Mailing List list. I gave […]
