Some thoughts about System Center 2012 R2
As I’m sure everyone is aware, last week we released System Center 2012 R2. With this new release, I thought it would be a good idea to call attention to a great article written by Steve Bucci, one of our top Senior Support Escalation Engineers here on our System Center team. He wrote the article back in February of this year and it talks about how System Center is a team of products, and how it’s important to remember that all these separate components were designed to work better together. To borrow a phrase from Aristotle, it’s one of those things where the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. Steve’s article brings up points that you may want to reconsider with the release of System Center 2012 R2 so if you get a free minute sometime this week I’d invite you to give it a quick read. -
