“As enterprises move to the cloud, the need for
monitoring and management of applications will become increasingly
important. A new effort from a pair of commercial open source
vendors is now ramping up to take on that cloud management
challenge.“Cloud technology vendor Eucalyptus System is partnering with
networking monitoring vendor GroundWork Open Source in a new beta
effort called GroundWork Monitor Enterprise Cloud. The new cloud
solution aims to provide enhanced cloud monitoring and management
capabilities.“Though both GroundWork and Eucalyptus have open source versions
of their products and the pair are now soliciting users to
participate in a beta program, the cloud monitoring solution itself
is not entirely open source.”
