New York Times Article Mentions Hyperic
Dan Fost, a freelance reporter for the New York Times, did an article today on virtualization. In the beginning part of his research, he came to me to understand more about how virtualization is changing IT.
Dan’s article, titled Closing the Doors That Virtual Sprawl Leaves Open, covers a broad array of topics from the evolution of the main virtualization software providers to the issues that linger around deploying virtualization including security, compliance and systems management. Dan is part of a growing legion of reporters and business executives that recognize the change virtualization is having on customer facing business issues, citing:

Hyperic & OpenNMS - Better Together
I am very excited to have finally formalized our relationship with the Order of the Green Polo, the folks that run OpenNMS. This new partnership and product roadmap highlights the right answer to many questions mulling around our industry.
- Systems Management Taxonomy - Systems Management is a BIG term. It has many disciplines within it. We have application management, systems management, provisioning, network management, configuration management, and the list goes on. The reality is most people think it encompasses application, system and network management. Hyperic does a great job up in the application and systems level - especially for custom-built, heterogeneous stack web-based infrastructure. We do some level of Network management, but it is small potatoes compared to OpenNMS. A public announcement and partnership (not to mention blog posts) will make more people understand quickly that we’re very different - and they need us both!

What’s YOUR worst ops nightmare?
Some days feel like walking nightmares to the ops folks that power the websites we all take for granted. I’m sure the folks at 365 Main enjoyed their 24 hour outage crisis. Skype’s outage became a worldwide headline for 3 days. Not all website outages are headliners, but all of them are painful for the men and women in the trenches fighting those fires.

Infoworld gets BOSSie on Hyperic (or is it the other way around?)
What a great name for an award… punchy, accurate acronym along with an irresistible pun! We found out this morning that Hyperic was listed among the 4 ‘finalists’ of the award. Despite Infoworld’s decision not to publish a winner until they finish deeper reviews of each product, we’re eager to see the results. In the meantime, I can’t resist commenting on the lead point of the article. Namely, the fact that the press and analyst community continues to ring the “Us vs. the Big 4″ bell whenever the topic of IT Management comes up. The reason for this is understandable… the David vs. Goliath setup is hard to resist in a $9B marketplace dominated by 4 entrenched players. What’s missing in this analysis, and that of most people who look at the management space, is the fact that the reason why this space is interesting is because the problem itself changes constantly and habitually refuses to conform to a single standard (it’s been attempted more times than I can count).

Muffins, Mules, and Meaningless Blogging
Hyperic days are generally very full days. So I sympathize with Dave Rosenberg’s apathy for blogging some days. Generally when I blog, I prefer to discuss a unique perspective on a meaningful topic that is relevant to today’s greater conversation. I have lots of these thoughts every day. What I don’t have is time.
When I do have time, I no longer feel the story is as interesting as when I first had the idea. Invariably, someone else has beaten the topic to death or changed the course of discussion.
