The COmmunity Systems Management Open Source (COSMOS) was proposed recently with a really large goal in mind, uniting a lot of the systems management stuff out there (There are some big names behind this too, IBM, Cisco, Intel, Compuware, etc…). A lot of this seems to fall in line with what IBM has with its Tivoli branch and around the area of ITSM. It’s encouraging to see this type of software head in this direction, but I have my doubts until I see something real… I’ve worked with systems management stuff in the past and I got know my friend Dante and one of his circle’s of hell really well.
