Zenoss: ZenPack for Dell EMC Isilon and Extended Support for NetApp Products

Zenoss Inc. expanded its coverage in the storage market with the ZenPack for Dell EMC Isilon and extended support for NetApp products.

The company pioneered the evolution from traditional infrastructure monitoring to SDITO, which utilizes predictive capabilities to automate intelligent decision-making and execute processes to ensure IT services are uninterrupted. This enables businesses to reduce risk posture by predicting and eliminating IT outages.

The ZenPacks enhance deep data collection capabilities for storage array components, which are foundational elements of cloud, on-premises and hybrid IT environments. This includes in-depth monitoring of NAS performance, utilization, status, metrics and events for array components including:

• Clusters

• IFS file systems

• Snapshots

• Nodes

• Chassis

• Disks

• Sensors (i.e., fans, temperature sensors, power sensors)

“SDITO provides the glue to take health and performance data from any source and buid real-time IT service models to fully understand relationships and dependencies,” said Mike Lunt, VP, engineering, Zenoss. “We are uniquely able to collect this comprehensive set of data and apply intelligent analytics that help our customers avoid service disruptions across their entire IT infrastructures.“

ZenPacks are prepackaged, customizable and extensible plug-ins used to extend the company’s SDITO platform. They use standard APIs and protocols including SNMP, WMI, SSH and more to collect configuration information and provide system monitoring capabilities across any type of system or application. The flexible, extensible ZenPack model allows the firm’s platform to extend discovery, performance and availability monitoring to new technologies quickly. In addition to the Dell EMC Isilon and NetApp ZenPacks, the company boasts a catalog of more than 500 ZenPacks covering physical and virtual infrastructure, containers, cloud deployments, and applications.
