    Zenoss: New dog masters old monitoring tricks 30 November, 2007 12:50:00

    Zenoss Core 2.1 impresses with object-based approach, strong device discovery, native Windows monitoring, and open source extensibility
    Since the dawn of the business network, there has been a need to ensure that the network services provided to the enterprise are alive and responsive. Traditionally, in midsized businesses, this role has been filled by complex, closed source, and fantastically expensive solutions from manufacturers such as BMC, CA, HP, and IBM. And while these extravagant expenses make no customer happy, many users of these packages also complain of their complexity. Enough administrators have spent enough time wrangling with their monitoring systems to make a lot of smart people imagine that there must be a better way.

Google has opened up access to its Gmail free e-mail service to people using browsers in cell phones, the company said late Thursday.

Gmail Mobile can be accessed from handsets offered by U.S. carriers including some from Nokia, Motorola, Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications, BenQ Mobile GmbH & Co., Sanyo Electric, LG Electronics and Toshiba. The service is accessed from http://m.gmail.com and a full list of compatible phones can be found at http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=30596&topic=8303.

Gmail can also be accessed via a conventional Web interface or an e-mail client.

On Thursday, the company also expanded its services for cell phone users in Japan with a localized version of the Google SMS service that is already offered in other countries. The Japanese service is accessed via cellular e-mail, not SMS, and users can run searches against Google's web, local or cellular Internet databases by sending a formatted message to g@google.jp. The service is free.
