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

I recommend this session to earn a high-level perspective about the System Center Suite, on the online session you can watch demos about the following scenarios:

1. Datacenter Deployment: Windows Deployment Services (WDS) technology to remotely deploy OS on your datacenter environment.
2. Model Based Updates Management: System Center Configuration Manager 2007 (SCCM) to achieve templates based updates roll-out to the datacenter.
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.
6. Datacenter Planinng: System Center Capacity Planner 2007 (SCCP) (free download!) to size your services deployment on Miacorosft solutions like Exchange, Sharepoint and Operations Manager.
