Consultant needed for Philadelphia company on new Zenoss Core 3.2.0 installation

I'm not sure if this is the proper forum for this but I hope it is.
My name is Shaun Walter. I work for a business consulting company in the Philadelphia PA area. We have recently installed a new Zenoss Core 3.2.0 server running on Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.6. We are replacing on older, very dodgy Zenoss 3.0.1 server. The new server is up and running Zenoss, I've been able to install several ZenPacks (Firestar.CiscoASA, WMIPerf_Windows, WMIPerf_Exchange2003, etc.) and add some additional plug-ins (check_oracle_health). We even have a good number of devices defined (about 25 servers, 10 network devices, 5 websites, 5 printers). Now we are either getting no alerts or too many alerts.
We are hoping to find someone to help us finish the configuration and tuning of our new Zenoss server. We have about 350 devices total to be monitored. I'd like to talk with a Zenoss consultant about our current status and how they can get us to a fully configured monitoring/alerting solution.
If anyone is available and qualified to help us, please contact me. We are eager to finish this and I'm hoping an experienced Zenoss consultant can provide the expertise we need to finish this in under a week. I can provide the information you need to price out a solution and provide a time frame for completion. This would include knowledge transfer so we can support the solution once it is complete.
If you're the person we are looking for, please reply. I'll be waiting.
Thanks.
Hi Shaun,
I've got over 4 years of Zenoss Enterprise experience but live in the
Netherlands, which means I'm probably 6 to 8 hours ahead of you guys. I
suspect you will get some answers any time soon by someone closer to you.
If not let me know and I'll be happy to assist you.
Good luck,
BR

Hi Shaun - Happy New Year!
I may well be able to help you. I provide remote Zenoss support for a
number of both European and US clients. Judging by your address, I am
guessing you are East Coast and therefore 5 hours time difference?
Shouldn't be a big issue.
Typically I work by people opening firewall
holes for our external IP address for ssh and 8080 ports; we have also
used a number of VPN and Citrix access methods. I can either work to
your specification or work with you on a skills-transfer basis. I find
that Skype works well as a chat / conferencing mechanism.
BTW - I hope you are not really using base Zenoss 3.2.0?? There are a
number of nasty issues there; you should certainly get to 3.2.1.
I charge £800 (GB pounds) / day for remote support and pro rata part
days. Depending on how much work you want done, I typically provide a
timesheet at the end of each week. If all you need is a day-or-two then
that would be easy. Some people ask for a "support" contract on a
call-off basis. I must stress that we cannot provide a 24 x 7 on-demand
support contract as we are a 2-person company and take weekends &
holidays etc; however, I do provide ad hoc support for some clients on
an agreed basis. This is where the weekly timesheets come in handy.
If you are interested in taking this further, perhaps we should have a
chat. Do you use Skype? I am jane_curry_uk ; otherwise we could use
phone or continue with email.
Kind regards,
Jane

Hi Hsen,
General queries are much more likely to get a response if you post to the Zenoss users forum here - community/forums/zenoss-users .
Zenoss Service Dynamics (used to be known as Zenoss Enterprise) is the CHARGEABLE version of Zenoss - you cannot just download it. If you want the free version - Zenoss Core - you can get it from here - community/download . If you are just starting out, I would suggest the appropriate "stack build" for your version of Linux and get Zenoss 3.2.1.
Kind regards,
Jane
Hi Shaun,
Has any action been taken on your request? Are you still in need of support? If so, I may be able to help you. My experience has been deploying Zenoss Core in distributed High Performance Computing Environments. Most of our data centers have over 200 devices each (Linux servers, routers, switches, etc.).
Best Regards,
Mike
Hi Jane,
It's been over a year and I hope you are doing well. I am working for a new company and we are in need of some help in shoring up our Zenoss monitoring system. Rather than delving into the gory details, I simply wanted to determine if you are still available for consulting work and whether your schedule over the next 4-6 weeks will allow for an additional client. Please let me know your status.
Thanks for the help you've provided in the past and I pray you continue to do well.
Thanks.
Shaun Walter
Hi Shaun,
Yup - I am still in the Zenoss business. I have some regular clients and some patchy clients but I could certainly fit in several days for you over the next 4-6 weeks, provided you don't need more than a couple of days / week. Details remain the same as in our previous appends.
Please feel free to contact me directly at jane.curry@skills-1st.co.uk.
Best regards,
Jane
