Most of them seem to point to you wanting to start a business based on packaging and selling Nagios to others. If that's the case, you really should be doing your own homework, so go RTFM's (there are about 12 of them that you'll find very useful and about 50 others that will be merel "useful" and about 4000 others that will be completely worthless) and try it out for yourself. If you're really (I mean, really?) interested in getting everything on the list below, I'd suggest you contact one of the many companies that already supply pre-packaged nagios solutions with all the boss bling and buzzwords you mentioned on your list of requirements. I know at least $paycheck_delivering_firm provides all of the list that I could bare to read before my brain went all markety on me and I compulsively started googling for "search engine optimization", "brand recognition" and other crap that people with too much powerpoint time on their hands tend to invest a significant amount of time into. I'd rant further, but I must conserve my powers of evil sarcasm for tonights party where my friends are sure to ridicule me for spraining my back in the gym. Should be a good one.

Re: [Nagios-users] Question about Nagios Features
Short answer: Yes. Medium answer: The free version can provide all of this, but it takes some work to get what you want. The paid version will give you a lot more of this right out of the door. Long answer: Go to nagios.org, read the docs, play with the demo, download the software. Install it somewhere, play with it for a day. Then go hit Nagios Exchange and download some addons that fix whatever you think doesn't work quite the way you want. It sounds like you're going to be monitoring a complex environment. That means that your monitoring environment is going to be complex as well - at my work we monitor over a hundred discrete host profiles on a vast (though still incredibly small in comparison to some other installations) with some shared monitoring, but a lot of unique custom monitoring that performs deep application health checks on custom apps. You get what you put out. In a large environment you can put out half a million dollars a year in licensing and support, and potentially millions in professional services dollars, getting something that you might not understand - tying you and your business to an external org through a hefty financial leash. Alternately, you can download some free software (or pay an entirely reasonable sum for a better version and professional support) and put some effort into learning the tool, resulting in a monitoring environment that does everything you want it to, that you understand in and out, and hopefully the adoration of management -and- your operations teams.
