Version 6.2 provides new capabilities for customers who operate complex monitoring solutions, including:

• New user controls for service providers.
• Improved monitoring for VMWare ESX and vCenter.

Role-based Infrastructure Views allow administrators to restrict the items a user can see based on their organization, expertise, location or job function.

Updated VMware Monitoring offers improved support for ESX and vCenter server virtualization.

Java Monitoring agent for Java application servers and containers, including monitoring profiles for RedHat, JBoss, Tomcat and IBM Websphere.

"The biggest thing is that GroundWork Monitor Enterprise is much easier to configure than Nagios, and simpler to keep track of everything. It is easier to get a quick view of the network without digging down deep, as you must with Nagios."

—Craig Patterson, Director of Technology, ClickSpeed Internet Marketing.

"GWOS delivers a complete solution that Nagios, Zenoss and Zabbix can't match. GroundWork Monitor Enterprise takes me from managing three monitoring packages to just one. The integration and coordination of the monitoring components is unsurpassed by alternative open source software. GroundWork Monitor Enterprise is a low-cost and highly scalable monitoring tool that technical service implementers (SIs) can standardize on and leverage as a part of a broader software suite offering. GWOS support is entirely adequate for our implementations."

—Vince Cox, CV Technical Services

GWOS Quadruples customer base in 8 months, saving new customers over $1.2M in monitoring savings

Driven by new product upgrades, GroundWork Open Source has quadrupled its customer base in the last 8 months. In addition, its customer count has doubled since the January 2010 release of GroundWork Monitor Enterprise Edition 6.1.

"Since the beginning of the year, we've seen customers break out of the overpriced IT monitoring maintenance plan by switching from HP Operations, BMC Patrol, IBM Tivoli and CA Unicenter to our Flex pricing plan," Peter Jackson, CEO of GWOS.

New GWOS customers who have switched from the Big 4 solutions have saved over $1.2 million dollars in annual maintenance fee savings by relying on GWOS.
