 "Microsoft Unveils System Center 2012")
In an online broadcast from Microsoft Corp. headquarters, Satya Nadella, President of Microsoft Server and Tools Business, laid out how Microsoft’s private cloud solution will help businesses move faster, save money and better compete in 2012. He highlighted how companies can use Microsoft System Center 2012 to build and operate private clouds for the delivery of business applications across both private and public cloud platforms. System Center 2012 is available in a Release Candidate as a single, integrated private cloud management solution for the first time.
“IT leaders tell me that private cloud computing promises to help them focus on innovation over maintenance, to streamline costs and to respond to the need for IT speed,” Nadella said. “We are delivering on that promise today. With System Center 2012, customers can move beyond the industry hype and speculation, and progress into the here and now of private cloud,” said Nadella.
New advances in System Center 2012 demonstrate Microsoft’s commitment to easing the acquisition, deployment and economics of private cloud computing. Microsoft’s partners in India are betting on the economics of System Center 2012.
“System Centre 2012 brings in new and unique capabilities intended to help IT managers/customers with self-service as one of the automated functions that distinguishes a private cloud from just another data center server cluster apart from/along with automating the delivery via System center orchestrator, improved management tools for the datacentre and Cloud, native support for any hypervisor including Microsoft Hyper V, and improved base service control for the infrastructure,” said Srikanth Karnakota, Director, Server and Tools Business, Microsoft India.
System Center 2012 integrates eight separate component products into one unified solution, streamlining installation and reducing the time it takes to deploy from days down to hours. The number of product versions has also been simplified, so customers will be able to choose between the Standard and Datacenter editions of the product, based on their virtualisation requirements. And because System Center 2012 Datacenter edition licensing covers unlimited virtual machines, customers can continually grow their private clouds without additional licensing costs for virtualising their infrastructure and applications.
