(InfoWorld) - Red Hat said this week it had spruced up its Red Hat Command Center server- and application-monitoring service, eliminating the need for users to maintain a Red Hat-prescribed hardware appliance to collect monitoring data. The "scout" appliance has been replaced by software in the SaaS platform, which customers can now run on their own systems. "The customer now picks their own hardware and the software is now provided for free," said Andy Karandikar, Red Hat product manager for Command Center. Previously, users had to purchase a $900 x86-based white box for monitoring. Command Center is positioned for managed service providers, who resell it to their customers, and for small- and medium-sized businesses. Red Hat also addedÂ  the ability to export monitoring data in XML. This data is available for download, and offline archival and analysis. Prior to adding the XML capability, this type of offline archival could only be done in bits and pieces and in text form. "[Now] you can do it in XML, which is a more structured way that you can slice and dice the data," Karandikar said. Red Hat also improved the interface of Command Center so that it is more consistent with other Red Hat services and products. Red Hat Command Center monitors server components ranging from the operating system to applications. Red Enterprise Linux, JBoss software and a wide range of other IT infrastructure can be monitored including Windows. The Command Center service costs $192 per monitored server per year. Red Hat announced its "North American Value2" seminar tour, which features half-day seminars on transforming an enterprise with an open source-based approach to virtualization and SOA. The tour kicks off on September 11 in Minneapolis. "The Value2 tour is really a concerted push for Red Hat to get on the road and communicate our broader strategy as it relates to our open source architecture, how our solutions are being used in customer sites and the really get the message out there as to the value of the open source approach," said Shaun Connolly, vice president of product management and Red Hat. Technologies such as JBoss middleware are featured, as is the MetaMatrix data federation technology acquired by Red Hat.

Red Hat and Hyperic have formed an open-source project for developing a core set of IT infrastructure management capabilities, the companies announced Thursday.Dubbed RHQ, the project&#39;s source code will be available under the GPL v2 license, according to a Red Hat spokeswoman. The companies have set up a Web site for the project at www.rhq-project.org.The RHQ project&#39;s roots lie in the pact formed in 2005 between Hyperic and JBoss, which saw the latter company use code from Hyperic&#39;s Web infrastructure management product, Hyperic HQ, as a basis for JBoss Operations Network.&#160;Red Hat acquired JBoss&#160;in 2006, and Hyperic moved to an open-source model.It shouldn&#39;t be long before a healthy community springs up around RHQ, according to Katrinka McCallum, vice president in Red Hat&#39;s management solutions business unit. &quot;The fact Hyperic has an established name around open source is giving us a kick-start,&quot; she said, adding, &quot;I don&#39;t think it will be that hard because a lot of customers have been asking us to open source our management assets.&quot;RHQ will not provide a packaged management platform, per se. Instead, it will consist of a set of services such as for reporting, security, and agents -- that could be built into various product offerings. The companies plan to bake the results into upcoming versions of their respective products, including JBoss Operations Network 2.0, which is set to ship later this year, according to a statement.&quot;We&#39;re really looking at saving some money when it comes to collaborating on the core platform,&quot; Doug MacEachern, Hyperic&#39;s chief technology officer, said of the partnership.&quot;I think there&#39;s going to be a lot of opportunities to upsell in both directions,&quot; he added. &quot;JBoss might need coverage in other areas, whereas otherwise our customers might be looking to go deeper into the JBoss stack.&quot;Red Hat&#39;s new CEO, Jim Whitehurst, recently&#160;spelled out an ambitious growth plan&#160;for the company. One observer suggested Hyperic and Red Hat may work even more closely together in the future.&quot;The most headliney thing is that it solidifies Hyperic&#39;s position as an acquisition target for Red Hat,&quot; said Michael Cot&#233;, an analyst with Redmonk. &quot;This is all speculation on my part, but it adds up.&quot;McCallum would not confirm or deny whether Red Hat is considering a purchase of Hyperic.&#160;
