Windows management plan taking shape

摘要

Microsoft last week took its second significant step on its road to building a holistic management platform for Windows and providing corporate users with a utility computing platform. The company plans a number of additional steps over the next 24 months leading up to its Longhorn family of products, expected to debut in 2007. Last week, Microsoft completed work on Microsoft Operations Manager (MOM) 2005 software and said it will ship Oct. 1. The monitoring and performance tool is significant because it gives users a means to troubleshoot the parts and services of the Windows Server System, a collection of 18 servers.
