QTS Solution Spotlight:
Microsoft System Center Operations Manager 2007

Overview

Microsoft System Center Operations Manager is a network management technology that helps IT organizations to proactively manage their servers and IT assets, and maximize uptime.  Operations Manager consists of a management console, and management agents that can be installed on Windows Servers (and through third party add-ons, on other platforms as well).  The console collects information from managed servers and consolidates the information into reports and views, while also providing correlation between problems and a knowledge base of recommended resolutions and action steps.  Operations Manager also allows for setting thresholds and alarms - for example, when servers go above a certain level of processor utilization for a specified period of time.

QTS offers a QuikStart for Operations Manager, to help customers rapidly deploy this technology while concurrently transferring knowledge for ongoing management.  This five day engagement allows for implementation of MOM, training of IT support personnel in its use, and follow-up to ensure the system is working properly and being utilized properly.

Key Benefits

Operations Manager provides a number of benefits, including:

  • Increased Server uptime, by catching problems while they are small and before they cause downtime;
  • Increased IT staff efficiency, by providing not only the problem but also recommended action steps and background to begin solving it;
  • Improved response time to server problems, through alerts and alarms that tell IT staff when a critical problem has occurred;
  • Flexible reports to help IT evaluate utilization and capacity, and plan for future systems needs.
