Network management goes open source, 05/16/05

Open source vendors and developers are bringing a new breed of products to 
market that could shatter that perception and provide customers with 
inexpensive, flexible and easy-to-integrate management tools.

Several open source products mentioned (Nagios, MRTG), some forgotten 
(OpenNMS for example).
Most enterprise management systems are quite (extremely?) expensive. No 
reason why open source products could not be as successful as other well 
known projects. Of course, development and testing require more resources 
if you want to support a wide range of platforms to manage (network and 
system).
