Hyperic tries open-source management | Tech News on ZDNet

Via ZDNet: Hyperic tries open-source management.

Start-up Hyperic launched an open-source project on Monday around its namesake software, looking to shake up enterprise management software with a low-cost product and an open-source business model.

I hadn't heard of Hyperic before this, but the software sounds interesting. The number of open-source management tools is beginning to expand greatly. It isn't quite clear whether Hyperic is complementary to the existing options or further competition/fragmentation.
