Eclipse in IT Management UIs, Zenoss, and CMDBs

A few weeks ago at the InnoTech conference, I got John Willis and Mark Hinkle to sit down for a little chat. I split the video into two chunks, on on Eclipse & custom interfaces in IT management software, and the second on Zenoss, model-driven IT management, and CMDBs.

I’d forgotten my tripod, so you’re spared seeing my mug.

While at the Austin InnoTech conference, I talked with John Willis and Mark Hinkle about customizing interfaces for IT management software. We start by hearing John’s take on using Eclipse as a front-end, and then hear some more general commentary from both John and Mark about how interfaces are used and customized – and by who – in the IT department.

Part 2

While at the Austin InnoTech conference, I talked with John Willis and Mark Hinkle about CMDBs and federated CMDBs. Mark starts out with a general update on Zenoss, and then after briefly talking about model-driven IT management, all three of us talk about CMDBs in general and how federation is doing in that area.

Disclaimer: Zenoss is a client, as are Eclipse and IBM.
