As part of end-to-end service monitoring Operations Manager 2007 improves on user perspective monitoring (synthetic transactions).By incorporating the end-user perspective into end-to-end monitoring a more accurate service health is obtained. Now IT administrators can receive alerts about client oriented service problems before the user calls the help desk.
End-to-end Service Management is not restricted to Microsoft-based environments. Support for WS-Management, Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), and partner solutions allow for non-Microsoft systems and hardware to be included in service monitoring within Operations Manager 2007.
Operations Manager 2007 introduces model-based management. By defining the IT environment as models, Operations Manager 2007 can better understand the relationships between the distributed applications and components that make up your IT services. These models, defined in the System Definition Model (SDM) that is the foundation for the industry standard services modeling language (SML), allow for more granular discovery of service components and the ability to monitor not just the servers but the whole end-to-end service as a unique object.
