Open Source or "free" or otherwise "low cost" IT operations products

We include here any IT Operations products where the software is available for free or at low cost to the public. This does not include free trials of paid software, but it does include software that has a paid "premium" version.

We define "low cost" arbitrarily as less than US$1000 per site (not per seat) per annum for software and support. Some of the products here the support cost has not been verified yet: they appear because the software is free or cheap but the support or services may exceed the limit we set. Let us know if this is so.

It is important to note that license and support costs are only a small part of TCO of software. The associated people, documentation, maintenance and operational costs will be as great as ever.
