Subject: [Nolug] Open Source Managed Services?

Hey guys, take a look at this product: http://www.kaseya.com

It's basically a "managed services" system, that lets you keep an eye on all
your clients, kind of a cross between spyware and SNMP, where you install a
little client app on every PC you manage, and they all report back to your
central server. You can then very easily view who is out of hard drive
space, whose antivirus is expired, whose hard drive is having SMART errors,
stuff like that. Spot problems before they happen. It's very useful, but
an expensive investment to get into this sort of technology. Now, what I'm
wondering, is does anybody know of anything like this in the open source
world? Surely there's something out there like this...
