The 451 Group has published a quick report by Jay Lyman on the Cittio’s new monitoring solution for cloud-based systems.

The report (called “Cittio floats open source cloud instrumentation and monitoring with Zeppelin“) is a good write-up and puts the context around the move and how it would affect both established and emerging players in that space.

It does however prompt a few comments from my side:

• Weird that they put RightScale into the same bucket – RightScale is not really a monitoring tool but rather automated management solution.
• It is also strange that (at least as positioned in the article) the vendors are trying to replace OpenView, Tivoli, Systems Center and the like. Wouldn’t it make sense to integrate with the big frameworks and thus get easier approved in the enterprises?

Anyways, see the original report at the analysts’ site.
