Reaching out to MSPs

This week we launched a microsite (msp.gwos.com) designed for Web hosters, managed service providers (MSPs), outsourcers and other service providers that monitor large distributed systems and networks. Many MSPs and service providers already monitor with open source Nagios software, the core of GroundWork Monitor Enterprise, and we want them to see what affordable GWME adds to Nagios.

Most MSPs already offer monitoring to their clients, but our latest GWME version, Release 6.2, adds features that will please everyone with large deployments to monitor. Among them: dashboards for their clients, role-based infrastructure views, enhanced monitoring for VMware virtualization and Java, and more.

Already, top Service Providers such as Hitachi Consulting UK Ltd., Germany’s NTS Netzwerk Telekom Service, AG and Hosting.com rely on GWOS ¬to monitor tens of thousands of network devices and systems for customers.

With a low entry price of $2,000/year to monitor 50 devices (that’s around $3.33 per device per month), the new pricing for offers an affordable on-ramp into the MSP business. Budding MSPs can start easily, then scale for volume with GWME’s pay-as-you-grow pricing.
