As new services and composite applications are developed, deployed and upgraded, a variety of changes are required in the underlying infrastructure. The power to manage this level of change is critical for success. Microsoft's management platforms, products and guidance are designed to help you plan, deploy, configure and monitor your critical applications, services, servers and network. When combined with partner solutions, these products offer you the ability to manage your entire service oriented infrastructure, including those servers and applications not operating in a Windows environment.
