Release 6.1 – now with 105% more customer goodness
January 25, 2010 - 4:13 pm2009 was a fantastic year for GWOS, the investments we made in the Release 6 platform, Flex pricing and Enterprise Quickstart paying off in a massive increase in the GWOS install base. Those new users brought a lot of new use-cases and ideas and suggestions for improvements we’ve chopped, diced, sautéed and baked into our first release of 2010.
One of the biggest changes we’ve introduced is support for Ubuntu Server in both the 8.04 LTS and 9.10 variants. Many of the customers I spoke with were impressed by the quality of the Ubuntu Server platform in their data-center and appreciate the convenience that comes from running Ubuntu on their desktop too. Of course we continue to support RedHat Enterprise Linux and Novell’s SLES – the latter of which is the basis of our popular SuSE-powered virtual appliance. A full run-down of the contents of the new release is available now.
We’ve got a busy year planned out with some exciting new capabilities in the works. We’re always happy to get ideas and suggestions for new areas we should be looking at. Please join the discussion on Twitter, Facebook or MonitoringForge.org.
perhaps 105% more goodness, but with an installed base of 1000 monitored nodes we will have to pay 400% more than in previous years
