Preface

Microsoft System Center 2012 R2 Operations Manager is the longstanding monitoring solution from Microsoft and a component of the larger System Center 2012 R2 product.

System Center 2012 R2 Operations Manager (SCOM) has many capabilities and doesn't focus purely on Windows Server monitoring. It has cross-platform monitoring capabilities, from the Unix and Linux operating systems to network and bare-metal (hardware) monitoring.

SCOM's focus on event monitoring of servers and infrastructure has also changed with recent releases. The idea of monitoring services and applications at a much deeper level is now a core focus area, giving businesses a very granular view of their environment, even all the way down to code-level problem discovery.
