Microsoft reveal System Centre plan
Microsoft has announced its strategy to help its customers manage their IT infrastructures.
In his keynote address to the inaugural Asia Pacific Microsoft Management Summit, held in Sydney, Kirill Tatarinov, corporate vice president of Microsoft's enterprise management division, said that management technologies had a history of failure in addressing the complexity of enterprise infrastructure, a trend which he said Microsoft was looking to reverse.
"Microsoft's goal is to address the issue of complexity and minimise costs by integrating manageability into the heart of the operating system, so that systems and applications become fully manageable out of the box."
Tatarinov said that the Microsoft System Centre will provide a "comprehensive solution for proactively managing the IT infrastructure of enterprises of all sizes, driving down the total cost of ownership of the Windows platform."
Built on unified management infrastructure in Windows, System Centre will provide solutions for enterprise management scenarios, including desktops, laptops, PDA's, applications and servers.
The first delivery of Microsoft System Centre will be in the form of a suite that will comprise Microsoft Operations Manager 2004 and Systems Management Server 2003.
