Zenoss Project (Network/Systems Management)

[Bill Karpovich]

We are pleased to announce the Zenoss project.

Zenoss is Python/Zope-based, network/systems monitoring application that has
been in development since 2002.

The goal of Zenoss is to "Simplify Systems Management" with a Python, open
source alternative to the big commercial management suites (e.g. IBM Tivoli,
HP OpenView, etc.). 

Zenoss also strives to go beyond Nagios and OpenNMS with improved
architecture, scalability, ease and breadth.
