The State Of The Systems Management Ecosystem??? Interesting...

This is a very interesting article from SearchData.com titled "The Evolving Systems Management Ecosystem", it has some very interesting insights into Open source systems management vendors and their intentions going forward on supporting an open source version of their products.   The pendulum continues to swing back and forth on this issue.   I especially agree with the comment that one vendor cannot provide the entire spectrum of functionality needed for most customers...never have there been truer words.  Anyway, it is a good read.
