Microsoft is enjoying up its private-cloud deliverables with numerous new management equipment the Redmondians are preparing to roll out later on this calendar yr.,
Office 2007 Professional
Microsoft is showcasing early versions of some of these resources on March 22 in the Microsoft Management Summit conference in Las Vegas.
Last yr, there was plenty of focus by Microsoft on public-cloud solutions built about its Windows Azure cloud operating program. This year, there will likely be additional of the focus by Microsoft on hybrid options — with Microsoft counting on non-public cloud as a way to get possibly cloud-shy customers to put at least a few of their data “with the cloud.”
As expected, one of the coming deliverables is a management portal, codenamed Concero,
Buy Windows 7, that will allow administrators to manage both their non-public and public cloud infrastructure. Concero is the successor to the current System Center Virtual Machine Manager R2 Self Service Portal 2.0.
When I first unearthed some clues about Concero a couple of months ago, the offering was described as a management console that would support Windows Azure Appliances,
Office 2007 Enterprise Key, Microsoft’s “personal cloud in a box” offering that still has yet to materialize (in spite of expectations the first Azure Appliances would become available in late 2010/early 2011). Microsoft execs told me that the company would have additional to share about the Azure Appliances in the TechEd convention in mid-May.
Microsoft also is going to make available a beta of its System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM) 2012 product on March 22. The final version of that private-cloud building block will be available before the end of this year,
Office 2007 Standard Key, Microsoft execs said. (Thanks for the download link, @UltraWindows.)
But wait… there’s a lot more coming on the private-cloud-management front in 2011. Program Cener Operations Manager 2012, which will integrate AviCode management technology (from Microsoft’s AviCode acquisition final 12 months) is coming this 12 months, as are new variations of Program Center Orchestrator (the renamed Opalis management product); System Center Advisor (a configuration-monitoring product codenamed Atlanta); Program Center Service Manager; and System Center Data Protection Manager 2012.
On the enterprise security side,
Office Professional 2010 Key, Microsoft execs said that Forefront Endpoint Protection Manager 2012 will be released while in the same timeframe as Program Center Configuration Manager 2012, and as is the case now, will be built on System Center Configuration Manager.
