Managing in the Open: The Next Wave of Systems Management
The 451 Group today announced a new report titled "Managing in the Open: The Next Wave of Systems Management." The main finding seems to be a recurring theme - "...the 'Big Four' systems management vendors (BMC, HP, IBM, and CA) are ripe for a shake-up from open source systems management players." For more info about the report, go here.
Gartner also touched on this theme back in April.
Open source network and systems monitoring and management vendors have been beating the drum with this message for a number of quarters. Customer traction and 3rd party analyst validation only strengthens their case.

I love open source systems management (heck, i helped start the movement). However, I think that the "us vs. them" mentality being stirred up by the press in response to "Managing In The Open" is leading us in the opposite direction from where we need to go. Only by working together will the system management tools improve for the one person that matters in this picture; the customer.
