BOSTON, MA, August 13, 2010 (Press-News.org) Zenoss Inc., the corporate sponsor of Zenoss Core, today announced the release of the 2010 Open Source Systems Management Survey. Based on more than 950 completed surveys gathered at the USENIX Large Installation System Administration conference each year from 2006 and 2009 and within the Zenoss open source systems management community from 2007 through 2009, the survey's purpose was to determine usage patterns for systems management software and particularly the usage of open source software to solve IT management needs of large organizations.
"What's telling about this survey is that that flexibility, followed by lower costs, is the main driver for open source systems management adoption today," said Mark Hinkle, VP Community at Zenoss. "Users indicated that the collaborative, transparent and free traits of open source management tools enabled agility and provide numerous other advantages which result in a high degree of satisfaction with the tools as evidenced in the survey responses."
Additional key findings in the 2010 Open Source Systems Management Survey include:
• 98% of the survey respondents indicated usage of open source in their enterprises.
• 71% of 2009 respondents indicated that open source software was easier to deploy up from 48% in 2008, 38% in 2007 and 26% in 2006.
• When asked their degree of satisfaction with open source software on a scale of 1 to 10 (with 10 indicating most satisfied) users indicated an average level of satisfaction between 7 and 8.
• 76% of system administrators in large enterprises indicate they prefer to use open source whenever possible.
• The number one reason for not choosing open source solutions was lack of support followed by poor documentation.
• Quality of Support was the number one reason organizations indicated they chose proprietary management tools.
• 50% of respondents indicated that they are already using some form of cloud technology including but not limited to hosted applications, Amazon Web services and/or hosted storage.
• The top IT management priorities for 2010 where monitoring, configuration management, patching and provisioning and security.
• 40% of respondents planned to adhere to ITIL best practices in 2010, up from 33% in 2008 and 32% in 2007.

New Home Building Houston Company Offers Style and Function
2010-08-13
There is something about the older homes that attract buyers generation after generation. Perhaps it is their unique, individual styles, their classic architecture or nostalgic appeal.
