Case Study: Quadrata migrates from HP OpenView to Zabbix for more cost-effective monitoring

Quadrata migrates from HP OpenView to Zabbix in 150 days

Quadrata, a system integrator and premium Zabbix partner providing IT services in Italy, faced the challenge of migrating its monitoring infrastructure from the legacy HP OpenView Operations (OVO) platform to a more modern solution. The migration needed to be performed without any service downtime and required a literal translation of hundreds of complex checks and policies from the old system.

Zabbix implemented a two-step migration process, first directly translating every check from HP OpenView without optimization and then later optimizing them using Zabbix's advanced capabilities. The solution successfully replicated complex monitoring for items like swap space and log files, and integrated manual and automatic actions, though the project took significantly longer than anticipated. The migration to Zabbix provided Quadrata with a reliable and cost-effective monitoring solution that replaced the aging HP OpenView framework.
