Everything is a Freaking DNS problem
Wednesday, September 24th, 2008I freaking love that title for a blog. Kris Buytaert asks a really good question regarding VC and the “Little 4.”
Systems management, what will happen when the VCs want their money ?
Jane Knows Network Management
Monday, September 8th, 2008Jane Curry is a excellent Tivoli instructor over in the UK and a frequent presentor at Tivoli conferences. She has done an excellent job on a white paper comparing Nagios, OpenNMS, and Zenoss for network management and the bottom line is she picks Zenoss…
OpenNMS and Zenoss are both extremely competent products covering automatic
discovery, availability […]
Do 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 […]
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 - […]

Drupal, Dries, and Clouds
Wednesday, April 16th, 2008I was reading an interesting article this morning by Dries Buytaert, the founder of Drupal, and in my opinion he is a genius. In his article “Drupal in the Clouds“, he discusses opportunities for Drupal moving up the stack and taking advantage of the new cloud technologies. Some of the issues for a highly scalable […]
Mark Hinkle on Open Source Systems Management
Monday, April 14th, 2008Mark has written a great article for Linux Today summarizing some of the open source activities over the last few weeks. He gives a little history of the “Little 4″ and he also does a good job summarizing some of the recent Gartner analalysis on Microsoft and open source.
The Little “3″ of Open Source Systems […]

Mr. WEB 2.0 to You!
Monday, March 10th, 2008Guest on the IT Management Guys Episode #9
What’s amazing about all of this that, when I first started this site, I had no idea if anyone would come. I made some initial stupid jokes to start the blog off, and I did the “let’s see what happens dance.” Lo and behold, Mark Hinkle […]

IMO NMS is not Lost
Thursday, March 6th, 2008While catching up on my Google reader this morning I stuck one foot in the muck (yuk yuk). Coté sure knows how to get this internet moving. :) He sent Tarus this blog post the other day and Tarus responded with this post. Here are my thoughts…
Not exactly sure what is lost?Â
