Um... you lost me after the first 4 words. Zenoss might work acceptably for very, very small organizations with very 
small amounts of data. Zenoss is incapable of scaling to even moderate-sized data sets with tens of thousands of data 
sources, nevermind medium sized data sets with millions of data sources. I work at a very small shop with three total 
engineers and Zenoss was unable to scale beyond 1/4 of our data sources with dozens of cores and hundreds of gigabytes 
of RAM on numerous systems.  It doesn't actually use any of these, the internal deadlocks in the architecture make it 
impossible for it to scale.

That Zenoss might make a better IP management tool than what it is purported and sold to do... amuses.
