System Center Guide

Looking for a seamless way to manage both your physical and virtual assets across your IT environment? System Center Essentials and System Center Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) Workgroup Edition, along with Microsoft’s reliable and powerful Hyper-V hypervisor platform, provide an integrated solution for virtualizing and managing your physical and virtual assets. And, with more functionality delivered at a lower cost than VMware (see chart below), Essentials and VMM become the logical midmarket systems management solution.

For a limited time, Microsoft is offering Essentials 2007 and VMM 2008 at a 37% discount through designated partners. The offer includes a one-year Software Assurance agreement that includes a free upgrade to Essentials 2010 upon its release to manufacturing in 2010. That’s three products for the retail price of Essentials 2007 alone! To learn more, read the press release or contact your local partner.
