Running a modern educational IT infrastructure is a complex operation. Costs and time overheads have to be minimised, and problems must be identified and resolved quickly. To achieve these goals, an administrator needs regular, accurate information about the components and performance of the network infrastructure. With many different systems, users and departments, collecting, collating, and reporting this information is often a daunting task.
Microsoft® Operations Manager (MOM) 2005 is a comprehensive network monitoring solution that helps ICT administrators meet the demands of managing an educational network. MOM 2005 uses centralised monitoring, comprehensive reporting, and automatic problem-solving of applications, users, and servers to keep your network stable. This means less time spent dealing with crises, and more time for delivering new and innovative services to your institution.
