The 451 Group has found that the ‘Big Four’ systems management vendors (BMC, HP, IBM and CA) are ripe for a shake-up from open source systems management players. In the past 18 months, open source options in the systems management space have grown to include a new set of vendors, backing open source systems management projects with commercial-grade support offerings. This combination of open source with enterprise services will have an impact on the proprietary systems management vendors.
Yet another OSS trend about to crush incumbents. I think this is a place where crappy, enterprise coding practices and obsolete processes are about to get pounded by open source. My personal pick is Hyperic over Zenoss, but it’s way early for that. Stay tuned…
