For COTS I'd go with CA (formerly Concord) eHealth. Their SNMP agent is light-weight, flexible and the product scales out very well. It's also reasonably straight forward to deploy and configure and quite expandable.
If you want an open source alternative that will grow with you and/or offer support options down the road I'd give Zenoss a shot.
Steer clear of HP, BMC, or IBM solutions due to complexity and/or price.

Try ZeroMQ - has bindings for most languages. Different light weight philosophy from other message queue stacks.
SALT is a deploy automation tool built on top of it. Exosite has a nice near real time platform built on it as well. Very interesting.
Interesting. I'll take a look, thanks!
I find that I make more effective use of the knowledge I already have when I add to it.
