System Center Advisor Overview

Today IT professionals have to spend a great deal of time and effort dealing with problems related to misconfiguration of servers. They are often not aware of these issues until they cause performance and availability issues due to the time lag from a configuration change, to awareness and exploration of the issue, to final resolution. This costs organizations time and money.

 

System Center Advisor is a cloud service that proactively scans your server environments to give you insight into potential configuration problems and causes. System Center Advisor not only assesses static data but also runtime and operational data to identify potential issues that cause outages or poor performance. This solution builds on Microsoft, customer and partner best practices developed from managing, configuring and optimizing thousands of server deployments around the world to deliver this rich set of configuration assessment and analysis capabilities.
