“The No. 1 request [from customers] is to help leverage what they have with [Microsoft’s] system management to non-Windows environments,” Orecklin said.
Among the announcements Microsoft will make is the public beta for System Center Operations Manager 2007 Cross Platform Extensions, which will enable users to extend the management capabilities to Unix and Linux systems running HP-UX, Red hat Enterprise Linux, Sun Microsystem’s Solaris and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server from Novell.
Microsoft is using such technologies as Web Services for Management and OpenPegasus to enable customers to use the management software for Windows and non-Windows physical and virtual environments, Orecklin said.
