Great stuff coming in the System Center family

Well I am back after having a week at Techready 3 in Seattle and a week of vacation.  I have caught up with the over 400+ email messages and am back to blogging.

Techready 3 was awesome.  We have SOO many great products coming out in the System Center Family.  I spent a lot of time at the System Center Operations Manager 2007 sessions.  I will be blogging quite a bit about the changes coming in SCOM 2007 over the next couple of months. 

Over the next year we will be releasing the following products:

  • System Center Configuration Manager 2007 (SMS V4)
  • System Center Operations Manager 2007
  • System Center Virtual Machine Manager
  • System Center Capacity Planner
  • Syscem Center Service Desk
  • Softricity!! (Title to be announced later)

I haven't been this excited about the management space in years.  We are really going leaps and bounds above our competition and we are really pulling everything togehter.

For those who want to try System Center Virtual Machine Manager, you can now download Beta 1 on Connect (https://connect.microsoft.com)

One of the most exciting technlogies that I saw was the Softricity demo.  This technology is really going to change the IT world.  Softricity will all but eliminate the need for application repacking due to registry or DLL conflicts as well as allowing users to run applications as Administrator but still be standard users.  Start reading up on Softricity now at https://www.softricity.com.  We haven't officially re-released the software yet but it will be coming in the next few months probably with a new name.

I have a lot to blog about so stay tuned!
