The Zenoss user community has always had a special relationship with Zenoss. For many, it is more than unified monitoring software -- it is a trusted technology stack, a platform that our User community has invested so much energy in, helping to make Zenoss what it is today. And now, we invite you to be a part of its continued evolution.
Today Zenoss is making available an Alpha release of our newest version of Core - Zenoss Core 5. This is especially exciting as this represents the first offering of our major initiative codenamed "Europa".
The Europa Initiative
The Europa initiative is Zenoss' answer to the challenges of innovating upon a trusted software platform, representing a concert of carefully-orchestrated and ambitious technology advancements, made in an open fashion with the involvement of our User Community. We respect the investment you have made in Zenoss and want you to be an active part of its evolution.
Throughout the ongoing evolution of Zenoss 5, you will see an unwavering commitment to leverage the absolute best-of-breed Open Source technology available -- we will truly be pushing the limits of what is possible for a unified monitoring platform -- leveraging big data, advanced visualization capabilities, and even some of the advanced technology that has recently been added to the Linux kernel.
The public phase of the Europa Initiative begins with the first release of Zenoss Core 5 Alpha. You now have the ability to test the next version of Zenoss, provide feedback by interacting with the Community, and watch your feedback come to life as Zenoss Core 5 Alpha matures.
Welcome to Europa -- what will become the next Zenoss
