14 DAY TRIAL // New development milestones for a number of System Center 2012 components are now available for download from Microsoft.
Softpedia users have already been able to read about the Release Candidate Builds for System Center 2012 Endpoint Protection and System Center 2012 Configuration Manager.
In addition, there are no less than three more System Center 2012 downloads, according to Anant Sundaram, System Center Product Management.
Early adopters can for example grab the new Release Candidate (RC) of System Center Orchestrator 2012.
“System Center Orchestrator offers the necessary automation for service providers to integrate and extend their existing toolsets and build flexible workflows (or runbooks) that can span across multiple organizational silos and IT systems. By leveraging the capabilities of Service Manager and Orchestrator, a service provider can create a standardized and automated self-service experience that helps reduce human error and manual processes,” Sundaram explained.
Another new release available for testing to early adopters is System Center Service Manager 2012 Beta, a solution designed to make it simpler for IT professionals to standardize service delivery across their organization, according to the Redmond company.
“Before getting to deploying applications, service consumers need to ensure that their private cloud infrastructure meets their applications’ requirements. Service Manager enables them to do that – again, in a self-service mode - through a Service Catalog which contains a set of pre-defined service offerings,” Sundaram added.
Yet another pre-release technology offered by the software giant to testers is System Center App Controller 2012 Beta, which Microsoft describes as designed to offer a common self-service experience which encompasses not just public, but also private Clouds.
“Think of App Controller as the service consumer’s single view to manage applications across the Microsoft private cloud and the Windows Azure public cloud. They can configure, deploy, visualize and update multi-tier application components in the context of the holistic service delivered to the business,” Sundaram explained.
