In today's fast-paced business landscape, staying ahead of the competition requires efficient and effective solutions. According to Microsoft’s Work Trend Index, nearly 70% of employee report that they don’t have sufficient time in the day to focus on “work”, with more time being spent Communicating than Creating.
Microsoft 365 Copilot is designed, with Microsoft’s cloud trust platform at its core, to allow for employees to both be more productive, reduce the time spent searching for information, performing mundane tasks, and other low-value activities.
System Center Operations Manager
The recent SolarWinds breach is in all the IT and news headlines. This has caused IT decision-makers to rethink/re-evaluate their current Systems Monitoring solutions if they are a SolarWinds customer. This is where a tried-and-true platform from Microsoft may be able to assist in the decision-making process.
Many Enterprise customers already have the licensing needed (System Center Datacenter/Standard) to support Microsoft's Enterprise-grade Systems Monitoring Solution – System Center Operations Manager.
Operations Manager (a.k.a. SCOM) is an all-around monitoring solution for your infrastructures that can be hosted on-premises or as Cloud IaaS Virtual Machines. It is a best of breed monitoring solution for Microsoft first-party technology workloads such as Operating Systems (Windows and Linux), Active Directory, SQL, Exchange, and SharePoint. It can also perform monitoring of network devices or third-party solutions such as OEM Hardware, Citrix, VMWare, or Oracle through third-party Management Packs.
Operations Manager can be sized to handle workloads from the smallest to largest enterprises.
Operations Manager will tell you which monitored objects are not healthy, send alerts when problems are identified, and provide information to help you identify the cause of a problem and possible solutions.
Operations Manager is part of the System Center Suite and licensing information can be found here: Microsoft System Center | Microsoft Licensing Resources
