Session Objectives And Takeaways
Session Objective(s):
Help you understand both why and how we are focused on
cross platform monitoring
Introduce our approach, and present what’s delivered ‘out of the box’
Preview key partner offerings that extend our offering
Key takeaways:
System Center can deliver enhanced application performance and
availability across heterogeneous platforms
Cross platform monitoring will improve management of applications in
the data center
System Center is credible and competitive brand for
server management
Agenda
Customer Challenges in Data Center Monitoring
Introducing Operations Manager 2007 R2
What’s New with Cross Platform
(since MMS 2008)?
What’s the LAMP stack?
Monitoring LAMP (and more)
Wrap up and questions

Customer Challenges in Monitoring the Data Center
It’s rare to find data centers running just Microsoft technologies
UNIX/Linux servers are hosting applications that are critical to their daily
business operations
46% of the enterprise sector customer base of one Microsoft Partner
runs non-Microsoft workloads on Windows
Customers want to manage both their Microsoft and nonMicrosoft systems and workloads using fewer tools
Many customers manage their heterogeneous environments using
multiple technologies and products
Linux systems tend to be managed individually via SSH and local tools
(tools residing on each system)
Each separate tool has its own management console, resulting in the
need for dedicated FTE resources to manage/maintain those tools!
Introducing System Center
Operations Manager 2007 R2
Key Benefits
Enhanced application performance
and availability across
heterogeneous platforms
Improved management of
applications in the data center
Increased speed of access to
information and functionality to
drive management

XPlat - What's New Since MMS 2008?
Cross Platform capabilities will only be available in
Operations Manager 2007 R2
Ops Mgr 2007 R2 release timeframe
RC currently available
Ops Mgr 2007 R2 RTM expected June 2009
No Cross Platform capabilities will be implemented for
Ops Mgr 2007 or Ops Mgr 2007 SP1
In Operations Manager 2007 R2:
New monitoring templates
Monitor UNIX/Linux log file (matches by regular expression)
Monitor UNIX/Linux Service (daemon)
New Run-As architecture
Allows different management accounts to be assigned to
different UNIX/Linux systems

What's the LAMP Stack?
Definition: The acronym LAMP refers to a solution stack of software, usually
free and open source software, used to run dynamic Web sites or servers.
The original expansion is as follows: Linux, Apache, MySQL,
PHP/Perl/Python1

Linux
• A UNIX-like operating system, originally written by Linux Torvalds in 1992.
• Linux systems commonly used as servers
Apache HTTP
Server
• First viable web server after Netscape’s Web Server
• As of Dec 2008, serves over 51% of websites2
• Developed and maintained by a consortium of developers, known as the Apache
Software Foundation
MySQL
• A relational database management system (RDBMS) that is popular for web-based
applications.
• Over 11 million installations3
• Currently owned, developed and supported by Sun Microsystems.
PHP/Perl/
Python
• Scripting languages, commonly used to create dynamic web pages
• Also popular with UNIX/Linux administrators to create small applications and
administrative scripts
