What's System Center Operations Manager 2012 Release Candidate?

Like most companies today, you rely on your IT infrastructure to keep your business running. You need to find out about and fix IT problems before they lead to any downtime or loss of productivity and revenue. Providing this Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) can be daunting when you depend on physical, virtual, and cloud resources to run a diverse mix of operating systems (Windows, Linux, and Unix) that support any number of critical business applications.
 
This complexity can make it difficult to get an integrated, consistent, and reliable view of what’s happening so you can respond proactively. To address these concerns, Operations Manager 2012 provides infrastructure monitoring that’s flexible and cost-effective, helps ensure the predictable performance and availability of vital applications, and offers comprehensive monitoring for your datacenter and cloud, both private and public.
