Solutions for Dynamic Data Centers

Microsoft System Center Solutions for data center management enable data center managers to optimize resources, improve the visibility of IT assets and issues, and meet service levels, all while decreasing costs. Today’s data centers require more processing power to meet the data and computing needs of the enterprise while at the same time facing resource constraints.

Simultaneously, many organizations are undertaking projects such as:

  • Using virtualization to consolidate servers and reduce power use.

  • Improving availability through end-to-end monitoring, and data protection and recovery.

  • Placing controls and reporting in place to support compliance initiatives.

Each of these data-center–related projects requires additional IT attention and resources. To meet these demands, enterprises are transforming their data centers to be more responsive, with improved service levels and lower TCO. System Center data center solutions provide a unified, extensible management system for the physical and virtual infrastructure in data centers to lower costs; improve efficiency; and ensure that the servers, applications, and services in the data centers remain available.
