Monitoring and Managing All Critical
Infrastructure
3:15 pm – 4:15pm
Join the ITProGuru (Dan Stolts) in this session to learn how to “Monitor” (and
even manage) your critical Infrastructure with the Management Packs for
System Center Operations Manager. We will take a peek at the installation
process, then dive into the system and the management packs that help you
easily monitor all critical infrastructure. Whether you have SharePoint, SQL
Server, Exchange, File Servers, AD or any other key infrastructure, you will find
a management pack you simply plug in to start monitoring and managing. The
monitoring capabilities do not stop at Microsoft products. We will take a peek at
monitoring Linux and any number of other 3rd party products. You will learn
how to keep ALL critical infrastructure humming. You will learn how to change
from a reactionary mode to a proactive mode when it comes to your
infrastructure. You will leave this session with a deeper understanding of what
these powerful management packs can deliver.
