Zenoss

The company Zenoss, Inc. was founded in 2005 and is headquartered in Austin, Texas. The company develops hybrid IT monitoring and analytics software.

Zenoss Community Edition was a free and open-source application, server, and network management platform based on the Zope application server. It provided a web interface that allowed system administrators to monitor availability, inventory/configuration, performance, and events. Originally called Zenoss Core, it was released under the GNU General Public License version 2.

Zenoss, Inc. has discontinued Zenoss Community edition on 17 March 2022, closing its community forum on 31 March 2022.

Zenoss Community Edition (formerly known as Zenoss Core) was developed by Zenoss Inc., a software technology company specializing in IT monitoring and Artificial Intelligence for IT Operations (AIOps). The company was co-founded and incorporated in November 2005 in Austin, Texas by Bill Karpovich (CEO) and Erik Dahl (CTO), two former employees of USinternetworking (USi). As TechCrunch notes, "Dahl had started developing some ideas for an open source IT management system in 2002 after he left USi... The first version of Zenoss Core was released in 2006 and the company raised a $4.8 million series A lead [sic] by Boulder Ventures and Intersouth Partners. The commercial product followed in 2007."

Later,[when?] the company opened a satellite office in Coventry, the United Kingdom to expand its presence in the European technology markets.

While Zenoss Community Edition is still maintained by Zenoss Inc., the company switched its focus on other commercial products such as Zenoss Cloud (SaaS infrastructure for IT environments) and Zenoss Service Dynamics (IT monitoring software), among others. The company mainly operates in the domain of full-stack monitoring analytics software and AIOps in North America, EMEA and other regions.

The company changed the name of the product from Zenoss Core to Zenoss Community Edition circa 2018 with the new 6.2.1 release. As of 2022, it is both supported by Zenoss Inc. and the Zenoss User Community. Since 2014, Greg Stock has been serving as the company's CEO.

Zenoss combines original programming and several open source projects to integrate data storage and data collection processes with a web-based user interface.
