Microsoft System Center
Microsoft System Center solutions capture and aggregate knowledge about your infrastructure, policies, processes, and best practices so your IT staff can build manageable systems and automate operations in order to reduce costs, improve application availability, and enhance service delivery. www.microsoft.com/systemcenter

Fuel Productivity
With System Center solutions, IT professionals can quickly and easily perform complex tasks. For example, the solutions enable knowledge-driven IT management and rapid problem resolution by providing comprehensive support and diagnostic information for Windows Server and client operating systems, Active Directory directory services, and the Microsoft Office system. In addition, IT professionals can access products and tools that simplify customisation tasks and help them to effortlessly find information about your IT infrastructure-making it easy to identify, catalogue, and report on software assets throughout your organisation.

Best Choice for Windows
The System Center family integrates with the systems you already have in place, including Windows Vista and Microsoft SharePoint Products and Technologies. Get comprehensive, built-in information for managing your Windows systems and workloads-expertise that comes directly from the Microsoft development team-and extend the value of the System Center family with add-ons from a vibrant partner community. Finally, implement a familiar, scalable solution that enables you to manage the smallest hardware component; the most complex service-oriented, architecture-based IT services; and anything in-between.

Enterprise - Strength Management
Achieve the enterprise-class reliability, scalability, and security necessary to manage the largest, most complex infrastructure. Implement management servers that can scale to accommodate any size organization and automate tasks to help simplify the discovery of system vulnerabilities and the distribution of security updates. In addition, deliver consistent, reliable, accessible services, and use modelling and application virtualization capabilities to minimise the risk of new application deployments.
