Dynamic IT - an overview

System Center solutions ensure that IT professionals can manage physical and virtual IT environments across data centers, client computers and devices. With these integrated and automated management solutions, IT can deliver more productive services to the business.

Goal: Dynamic IT management

The concept of dynamic IT is a long-term strategy by Microsoft to provide technologies that help the IT department and developers become a more strategic factor in the business. Dynamic infrastructure represents Microsoft's vision of a flexible enterprise - one in which IT works closely with the rest of the business to meet the needs of a rapidly changing environment. Dynamic IT describes Microsoft's technology strategy for its own products and solutions to improve the dynamism of our customers' people, processes and infrastructures. What role does System Center play in dynamic IT?

Microsoft System Center solutions play a central role in Microsoft's vision of dynamic IT. They collect and aggregate information about infrastructure, policies, and best practices. The performance of business processes is optimized by analyzing operating systems, applications, services and workflows. IT professionals can optimize IT structures, reduce costs, improve application availability and deliver better services.

The integrated and automated management solutions empower IT to be more productive. System Center solutions enable self-managing and dynamic systems, bridging the gap between development, operations and IT they connect people, processes and tools.
