Long-term disability http://www.m2.com CITTIO Inc, a provider of automated network and systems monitoring software, announced on Thursday (5 March) the release of project Zeppelin, an open source cloud management and monitoring agent designed to address the challenges of cloud infrastructure and application monitoring. According to the company, the project is an important part of CITTIO's contribution toward accelerating cloud technology adoption by corporate IT. Zeppelin provides detailed asset, performance, auditing, benchmarking and usage metering information of cloud and datacentre infrastructure and applications. It can be deployed remotely while its data can be securely accessed across the public Internet based on the WBEM/CIM-XML and WS-Management interfaces. WS-Management and CIM-XML are rich DMTF (Distributed Management Task Force, Inc., Portland, OR, www.dmtf.org) An industry consortium founded in 1992 that is involved with the development, support and maintenance of management standards for PCs. Its goal is to reduce the cost and complexity of PC management. standards, suitable for the management of virtualised environments and cloud computing. The project delivers deep and broad instrumentation for hardware, operating system and application status and performance. This includes Linux, Citrix XenServer through Project Kensho and VMware. In addition, it provides a large number of industry-based micro benchmarks through lmbench. Technically, Zeppelin incorporates both SFCB SFCB South Fraser Community Band SFCB Santa Fe Concert Band (Santa Fe, NM) SFCB South Fraser Concert Band - CIM Object Manager (CIMOM CIMOM Common Information Model Object Manager CIMOM Corporate Information Management Object Model CIMOM Common Interface Model Object Manager ) server for resource-constrained and embedded environments - and Openwsman, a Web Services Management agent for full WS-Man protocol. It includes a rich set of standard Linux management instrumentation including base OS, event log analysis, file system and volume management, network, NFS and RPM. In addition, it provides deep instrumentation for Citrix XenServer and Microsoft Hyper-V via Project Kensho and for VMware through its own CIM implementation. It also supports infrastructure performance benchmarking and distributed computing instrumentation, the company said. Zeppelin is available for download from SourceForge at http://sourceforge.net/projects/zeppelin/ ((Comments on this story may be sent to info@m2.com)) |
