Hi,

A big NEWS !!! >>System Center Configuration Manager v.Next Beta 1 is avalaible for download!!!

What’s System Center Configuration Manager v.Next?

System Center Configuration Manager enables a powerful user-centric approach to client management. This approach addresses the growing reality – people want to move fluidly between multiple devices and networks – by making it easier for IT to support users with configurations tied to their identity instead of to individual systems or devices. As a result, IT can help people work the way they want, practically wherever they want—with a familiar experience across different devices and contexts.

Configuration Manager provides IT a lean, unified infrastructure to deliver these new capabilities and workloads for client management, virtualization, and security. The solution puts IT in control of costs and compliance, providing an evolutionary path to new capabilities that leverage existing, people, processes, and technologies. Configuration Manager reduces the cost and complexity of IT compliance by delivering visibility, discovery, and enhanced, IT-definable remediation capabilities.

It’s all designed to help IT simply and efficiently deliver a user-centric approach to client management. And because it is built by Microsoft engineers who have exceptional knowledge of Windows, Configuration Manager delivers tight interoperability with Windows, for more effective and efficient management.

(System Center) Opalis Integration Server 6.2.2 SP1 is available for download !!!

No comments mai 18th, 2010 Michael Bertuit

Hi,

Just a post for you say that Opalis Integration Server 6.2.2 SP1 is available for download!

What’s Opalis:

Opalis is an automation platform for orchestrating and integrating IT tools to drive down the cost of datacenter operations, while improving the reliability of IT processes. It enables IT organizations to automate best practices, such as those found in Microsoft Operations Framework (MOF) and Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL). This is achieved through workflow processes that coordinate System Center and other management tools to automate incident response, change and compliance, and service-lifecycle management processes.

Through its workflow designer, Opalis automatically shares data and initiates tasks in System Center Operations Manager, System Center Configuration Manager, System Center Service Manager, Virtual Machine Manager, Active Directory and 3rd party tools. Opalis workflow automates IT infrastructure tasks, while System Center Service Manager workflow provides automation of human workflow. The combined offering ensures repeatable, consistent results by removing the latency associated with manual coordination service delivery. System Center and Opalis enable integration, efficiency, and business alignment of the datacenter IT services by:

  • Automating cross-silo processes and enforcing best practices for incident, change, and service lifecycle management.
  • Reducing unanticipated errors and service delivery time by automating tasks across vendor and organization silos.
  • Integrating System Center with non-Microsoft tools to enable interoperability across the datacenter.
  • Orchestrating tasks across systems for consistent, documented, compliant activity.
