This is no April Fool's Day joke. Microsoft said during its Management Summit today in San Diego that its System Center Operations Manager 2007 management application will be available this April 1.

The software, which has evolved from what Microsoft used to call Operations Manager 2005, offers intelligent network monitoring and reporting for Microsoft platforms and applications.

The software competes with products from IBM, HP, CA and BMC in the multi-billion-dollar market for software that governs application operations.
