Not only does Systems Management Server reduce the effort required to help keep user desktops secure, but it also reduces security risk because we can push out security updates much faster than before.
- Matthew O’Neill, Group Head of Distributed Systems, HSBC Global IT Operations
A comprehensive solution enabling you to provide relevant software and updates to users quickly and cost-effectively.

“We understood that if we consolidated servers we would reduce energy consumption. [System Center is a] one-stop, single-point approach to managing hundreds of Virtual Server–based virtual machines and all the hosts, while also easily performing physical-to-virtual migrations.”

SAS 70 is a huge initiative for us with regard to our data centers and all of our applications, and SOX is obviously important as well. With [System Center] my team has reduced the amount of time that we spend collecting security log information. For example, we just completed an investigation and pulled the security report in less than 5 minutes. In the past it would have taken days.”

“We’ve always run IT lean and mean, so that won’t change with Operations Manager. We’ll just run IT better—and enable the company to make more money.

“I can provide our system administrators with more in-depth monitoring and more explicit alerting. We can configure server reports to show downtime warnings, downtime events, and the start time and end time of every occurrence. We can also quickly learn why a server experienced downtime—whether it was a power outage, a hardware or software malfunction, or a server maintenance issue.”
