Overview
System Center Operations Manager provides an easy-to-use monitoring environment which includes thousands of event and performance monitors across hundreds of operating systems and applications to provide a single view of the health of an organization’s IT environment.
This view of a service’s health is key to a rapid, agile response to events that may impact the normal running of business and ultimately cost an enterprise money.
