Last Wednesday 18-February we had a TechNet webcast about the System Center Suite. If you want to go deeper you can download the session resources here: http://cid-5f9c7b75bd402dda.skydrive.live.com/browse.aspx/Public/TechNet/2009-02-18%20-%20System%20Center%20y%20el%20Centro%20de%20Datos

3. End to end monitoring: System Center Operations Manager 2007 R2 Beta (SCOM) to have an holistic view of your production services health.
4. Model based standards in the datacenter: System Center Configuration Manager 2007 (SCCM) to manage workstation and servers baselines against a desired configuration baseline enforced by IT.
5. Accountability in the datacenter: System Center Operations Manager 2007 R2 Beta (SCOM) to concentrate audit events, using Audit Collection Services,  from your windows server environment with reporting capabilities to overcome your security auditor demands.
