His love of Zabbix came from his time spent in the Oracle world as a Database Administrator/Developer. His time was spent mainly reducing ‘ownership costs’ , specializing in monitoring and automation. This is where he came across Zabbix and the flexibility both technically and administratively it offered. Using this as a launch pad it, Andrea was inspired to develop ‘Orabbix’; the first open source software to monitor Oracle completely integrated with Zabbix. Andrea has published a number of articles on Zabbix related software, such as DBforBIX. His projects are publicly available on his website http://www.smartmarmot.com. Currently Andrea is working for a leading Global Investment Bank in a very diverse and challenging environment.
