Customers’ Needs Today Help me deliver value right away Help me run operations more productively Help me decrease my workload Broader/Better Management Packs Virtual Server, SharePoint, Siebel, SAP Fully language neutral State monitoring Integrated data warehouse Tasks and Diagnostics Topological views Deploys in hours not weeks Support for more complex environments Rolling upgrades

Reduced Time to Value Improved Install based on MSI Agentless Monitoring for evaluations Rolling Upgrades allowing management during upgrade Pre-requisite Checker to ensure successful install Computer Discovery through simpler discovery wizard

Enhanced Operations Operations Console optimized for all operational data State Monitoring down to a service subcomponent level Nested Groups for scoping users context Topological Views with server status Tasks for context sensitive diagnostics MOM Connector Framework (MCF) for full bi-directional communication to other management systems Maintenance Mode for servers to reduce noise

Refined Intelligence Improved Management Packs  Reporting, tasks, diagnostics  Transform into XML for editing and differencing More Management Packs Web Based Reporting Server and Data warehouse  Historical reporting  Authoring environment for customizing reports What 3rd party MPs do you want to see? Tell your vendors to write MOM MPs!

Reporting Based on SQL Reporting Service and the MOM Data Warehouse:  Long term data storage  Customization  Dynamic/Sophisticated reports  Per report security  Exporting data to other formats Service specific reports out of box  Summary reports  Capacity and performance trend graphs  Operations reports  Resources  Availability and Reliability Capabilities  View or print  Publish to Web site  Schedule generation offline

Extending MOM Management Packs (MP)  Intelligent monitoring of server applications MOM Connector Framework (MCF)  Interoperability with other management systems Extensible API and configuration  Development of custom solutions

Management Packs MOM’s knowledge distribution mechanism  Monitors a wide array of server health indicators  Calls attention to critical events that require administrator intervention  Provides guidance for administrators to resolve outstanding alerts Developed by application providers  Microsoft  Third Parties  Custom

Management Packs (cont.) Management Packs consist of:  Processing Rule Groups  Processing Rules  Computer Group Rules and Attributes  Views  Relationships  Text, links, and other info  Tasks (new in MOM 2005)  Reports (new in MOM 2005)

Improved Infrastructure Improved Infrastructure to support better MOM Knowledge  Instance Aware monitoring  Service Discovery  Cluster Monitoring  New reports, tasks, views and diagnostics  XML based import /export  MP refresh

Reporting MOM 2004 reporting is based on SQL Reporting Service and the MOM Data Warehouse:  Long term data storage  Customization  Dynamic/Sophisticated reports  Per report security  Exporting data to other formats Service specific reports out of box  Summary reports  Capacity and performance trend graphs  Operations reports  Resources  Availability and Reliability View or print reports on demand Publish reports to Web site Schedule generation of reports offline
