GroundWork Open Source is a recognized leader in enterprise-class open source-based systems and network monitoring and management software. They were the first to successfully bring to market a practical, enterprise-ready open source solution for systems and network administrators. The company’s flagship product unifies proven open source projects and overcomes the limitations that were stifling the widespread adoption of innovative, but disparate open source management tools - lack of integration, steep learning curves and complex user experiences. In this way, GroundWork continues to redefine the IT management market and is playing a key role in accelerating the march toward mainstream adoption of open source systems and network management solutions.
