Microsoft System Center - Service Manager Client Management License

Service Manager can help your organization to increase productivity, reduce costs, improve resolution times, and meet compliance standards. Its built-in processes are based on industry best practices such as those found in Microsoft Operations Framework (MOF) and the IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL). Customers increasingly require a comprehensive suite of management tools that provide end-to-end support for virtual and non-virtual server infrastructure. The server management suites provide an easy and economical way for customers to get server management licenses for the four main products of System Center - System Center Operations Manager 2007 R2, Configuration Manager 2007 R2, Data Protection Manager 2007, and Virtual Machine Manager 2008 R2. Because the Suites include Virtual Machine Manager - Microsoft's solution for managing a virtual environment - customers who are running or plan to run virtual infrastructure should consider acquiring one of the Suites. MICROSOFT OPEN VALUE SUBSCRIPTION OPTION With the Subscription option, you pay a single price per desktop (five desktop minimum) to deploy Microsoft technology as the standard across your organization, just as with the Company-wide option. However, the Subscription option provides you with rights to run the software only during the term of the agreement with Microsoft (nonperpetual). SOFTWARE ASSURANCE Microsoft's Software Assurance gives you automatic access to new technology and provides productivity benefits, support, tools, and training to help deploy and use software efficiently. With Software Assurance, you receive access to new versions of licensed software released during the term of your agreement to deploy at your own pace. New Version Rights simplifies the procurement process and shortens the business process cycle, allowing you to reduce the costs associated with acquiring new version releases and immediately take advantage of the latest technology.
