to take place on Thursday, May 24 from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. CDT, “Top 3 Reasons
SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor is a Refreshing Alternative to SCOM.”
During the
webcast, former SCOM and current SolarWinds customer Jed Krisch, Manager of Technical
Services at the Carilion Clinic, will share his experience comparing SolarWinds
Server & Application Monitor (SAM) to System Center Operations
Manager (SCOM), along with best practices on customizing the software.
In recent
weeks there has been a lot of buzz around Microsoft System Center 2012.
Microsoft has made a lot of improvements to Operations Manager, in particular
new capabilities for dashboarding, some network monitoring and application
monitoring for J2E and .NET applications.
These
improvements are great for large enterprises that have already invested their
time and resources to getting SCOM deployed. For companies of all sizes, SolarWinds
offers an easy-to-use, easy-to-implement product for monitoring
servers and applications ideal for all companies who need visibility
into their infrastructure and application environment.
