unified monitoring for citrix cloudstack™
DESCRIPTION
Interest in building clouds, public or private, is on the rise. To ensure a successful cloud deployment IT must have unified visibility and real-time awareness of their entire cloud infrastructure. These slides are from a webinar, “Unified Monitoring for Citrix CloudStack™,” presented by Zenoss and Citrix to learn how to gain complete control and visibility into your cloud-based IT infrastructure. This demo-based session will show you how: - Citrix CloudStack’s free and open source cloud infrastructure platform helps providers of all types deploy and manage simple, scalable, cost-effective cloud services. - Zenoss provides an additional level of management by tracking capacity and usage trends for the entire cloud, and alerts to changes in both physical and virtual infrastructure. - CloudStack can be more seamlessly integrated into an organization’s existing operations with the addition of Zenoss unified monitoring.TRANSCRIPT
