Solutions Using Zabbix
OpenWater Solutions (aka OWS) is focused at delivering effective management
solutions to every customer that relies upon IT in order for their business
to function. One of the key factors preventing many organizations from
implementing a management & monitoring solution is the prohibitive cost of
most commercial tools. OWS addresses this need with the highly capable and
feature rich Zabbix open source monitoring solution.
OWS has developed a powerful solution architecture centered on Zabbix and
Monolith (an affordable available source event management solution) that is
sure to keep the current market leaders of monitoring awake at nights. This
solution provides end-to-end management capabilities and features that are on
par with the million dollar solutions that are being marketing from the Big Four.
Working with our engineers and partners we have created a standard solution set
for a complete infrastructure monitoring solution.
Solution Overview
OpenWater Solutions is proud to announce a new architecture for customers in need
of end-to-end infrastructure monitoring & management, but at an affordable price point.
