Summary

In this chapter, we covered the following:

• System Center

• The Dynamic Systems Initiative

• The future of System Center products

In the future, these products will continue to have comprehensive integration features with other products in the System Center suite. In addition, as demonstrated with Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 R2, the integration of MOM and SMS into a real-world DSI solution set is going to continue. While today the scope of these features is limited, the next versions of MOM and SMS promise to deliver more features to enable dynamic systems management and better lifecycle support for applications through the use of the System Development Model (SDM). Over time, the promise of dynamic operations and systems management will be delivered, making enterprises more efficient and helping administrators to be more proactive and productive.
