Microsoft is steadily building a family of System Center systems management software aimed at both midsize and enterprise customers, the company said Wednesday.
In terms of Microsoft's management tools, 2006 is proving to be a "watershed year," said Andy Lees, corporate vice president, server and tools marketing at Microsoft during a keynote address at the Worldwide Partner Conference in Boston, which runs through Thursday.
Lees formally introduced the latest addition to the family, System Center Essentials 2007, currently in beta testing and due to ship either late this year or early in 2007. Focused on midmarket customers, Essentials is a Windows Server systems management product.
