+Zabbix provides monitoring metrics, among others network utilization, CPU load
+and disk space consumption:
+
+@itemize
+@item High performance, high capacity (able to monitor hundreds of thousands of devices).
+@item Auto-discovery of servers and network devices and interfaces.
+@item Low-level discovery, allows to automatically start monitoring new items, file systems or network interfaces among others.
+@item Distributed monitoring with centralized web administration.
+@item Native high performance agents.
+@item SLA, and ITIL KPI metrics on reporting.
+@item High-level (business) view of monitored resources through user-defined visual console screens and dashboards.
+@item Remote command execution through Zabbix proxies.
