Zenoss, a provider of commercial open source systems management and network monitoring software, has added a native Mac OS X installer for the latest version of Zenoss Core, an open source IT monitoring product.
Forrester Research reports Mac OS X currently accounts for 4.5 percent of the business operating system market. This figure has nearly quadrupled since Forrester’s previous research 19 months before.
“Mac OS X is a growing platform that remains a favorite among developers and IT operations staff, which is why Zenoss already monitored the Mac OS X platform,” says Erik Dahl, chief technical officer and co-founder, Zenoss. We wanted to make the entire Zenoss user experience seamless for Apple Macintosh users by also providing a downloadable Mac OS X installer.”
Zenoss Core 2.3 was developed in conjunction with more than 40,000 community members who provided product input, monitoring extensions and beta testing. This large open source systems management community has helped Zenoss deliver high value solutions at a fraction of the cost charged by conventional vendors, Dahl says.
