Description: 
System Center Operations Manager 2007 is a server application for monitoring of IT services across an organisation, providing administrators with a comprehensive view of the health of the organisation's IT environment. Operations Manager can provide IT departments with reports at defined intervals as well as alerts when immediate attention is necessary. The successor to Operations Management Server 2005, Operations Manager 2007 offers many new features and rebuilt components, designed for greater scalability and customizability.

Operations Manager allows administrators to define monitored services and applications according to the pre-existing network setup. In a large organisation, for example, email might be handled not by a single installation of Exchange Server, but by many servers and network devices. Operations Manager would allow the administrator to graphically define the components that comprise the service, thus providing for a single, unified report of email server performance.

Operations Manager can be used to monitor performance of both server and client applications. Management packs — the sets of instructions that Operations Manager uses to monitor specific applications — are available for most current Microsoft server applications and operating systems, as well as many third-party operating systems and applications.

When application or operating system crashes take place, Operations Manager reports pertinent information to administrators. Dr. Watson and Windows Error Reporting can send details directly to Operations Manager, which analyzes the crash data and incorporates it into its routine reporting.

This product includes SQL Server 2005 Technology. SQL Server Technology acquired with this product can be used can be used only to support Operations Manager 2007.

License Requirements

A standard or enterprise operations management license (OML) is required for each server (that is, each device running a server operating system) managed by Operations Manager. The standard OML allows for management of basic server operating system workloads, while the enterprise OML is necessary for management of server applications and other premium workloads.

A client OML is required for every nonserver device managed by Operations Manager. Client OMLs are not available for donation through TechSoup Stock, but can be purchased through Microsoft’s Charity Open Licensing program. For more information about licensing Operations Manager, see Microsoft’s licensing brief.
