System Center Essentials 2007 Webcasts
Some of the most exciting products that will come out of Microsoft over the next year (in my opinion) are in the Management space. While Microsoft Operations Manager (MOM) and SMS (Systems Management Server) have been out for a few years, they have primarly targeted large Enterprise environments. A new product, System Center Essentials will be released in the next few months, and will bring the power of MOM and SMS to the Small and Medium Business space. What can be better than being able to monitor your computers/servers, deploy software, track trends, and identify problems before they become critical issues?
