I got the word yesterday that Zenoss, which has a nifty network and server management tool (cleverly named Zenoss Core), was planning to announce the launch of its new Zenoss Enterprise product today.

On February 20th Zenoss will be conducting our first Zenoss Community Day the event will be held in Los Angeles as a precursor to the 7th annual Southern California Linux Expo (SCaLE 7x).

Zenoss Inc., the corporate sponsor of Zenoss Core, today announced the release of the 2010 Open Source Systems Management Survey.

The Linux Foundation today announced that open source enterprise IT management company Zenoss is its newest member.
