Monitoring Data Centers with Operations Manager 2016

Operations Manager 2016 will enhance monitoring of infrastructure and applications across public and private clouds when it ships in Oct. 2016. It will also ease the discovery and maintenance of management packs, provide better support for Linux environments, and integrate with the Operations Management Suite to provide better analytics and improved diagnostics. Longer term, customers may want to plan further integration with online services and should expect more rapid updates.

Operations Manager Overview

System Center Operations Manager (OM) enables administrators to centrally monitor the health and performance of devices, particularly Windows servers. It can take corrective actions automatically based on configurable and customizable rules and scripts. OM manages devices already in operation; it is not designed to deploy software or modify computer configurations. It uses management packs (MPs) customized for each device and application monitored—there are hundreds of MPs available from Microsoft, partners, and OEMs.
