9/30 Live Webcast: IT Monitoring Cost Challenge – HP Operations vs. GroundWork Open Source
Hosted by Information Week
Tim Clark from the FactPoint Group will share his insights on the node based pricing. He will explain the pricing structure that HP and the other Big 4 vendors follow, and how either their customers are over-paying for uncompleted monitoring deployments or are over–paying to monitor custom applications.
David Dennis from GroundWork Open Source will explain how GroundWork Monitor Enterprise removes these pricing barriers and saves customers who leave the Big 4 to use GroundWork Monitor up to 87% of their maintenance cost which they were paying for annually. David will also share how node based pricing is no longer popular as it is unaccommodating to the ever-changing IT environment.
