Microsoft System Center 2012 is a bundled suite ofsystems management products that offers tools to monitor and automate virtualized environments, includingprivate clouds based on Microsoft Hyper-V.
While all Microsoft System Center products were previously offered in standalone versions, System Center 2012 will now only be licensed as a bundled offering. This updated licensing structure is seen as a move to compete withVMware's vCenter systems management product.
System Center 2012 is available in two editions -- Standard, which can be deployed to a maximum of two virtual machines (VMs) and Datacenter, which allows for deployment to unlimited VMs. The release candidate (RC) version of the software was made available in January 2012.
