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. This solution is centered on Zabbix and enhanced by Monolith.
