To coincide with the worldwide general availability of Microsoft Operations Manager 2005 this week, Microsoft's IT department released a 32-page whitepaper detailing its internal deployment of the management software. The Microsoft IT whitepaper provides lessons learned and the scalability and consolidation accomplishments in the deployment, which Microsoft completed Aug. 12. MOM 2005 was released to manufacturing Aug. 25.
