Summary:

IT is evolving.  It isn't a rack of servers and network devices anymore.
It doesn't have the traditional administrative roles any more.  Why would
we continue to use traditional monitoring?  As more advanced solutions
evolve, so must we.  Zenoss started as an open-source project, and has
evolved into a necessary tool for a hybrid IT environment.  Infrastructure
is not what it was -  we now talk about containers, orchestration, and
consumption models.  Applications need to be aware, and 3 9s of uptime
isn't the goal - it's the standard expectation.  How prepared are you to
manage your portfolio in your data center?  On someone else's data center?
On the cloud?
