Benefits

Single solution

System Center Essentials provides a single console for your core management needs. That means a single product to purchase, deploy and learn.

Monitor applications and networks

Track database growth in SQL Server databases or connectivity to Exchange servers using some of the many provided charts, tables and reports. Essentials also tracks the status of all the SNMP 1.0 and 2.0 devices in your network, allowing you to receive alerts when something important goes down

Troubleshoot problems

System Center Essentials provides a rich knowledge base out of the box to help you diagnose and fix critical alerts for key products like Exchange Server and SQL Server. These management packs are optimised so you only focus on those alerts that matter. Not only do you get in-depth explanations of problems, but more importantly, Essentials often provides simple in-line tasks to click and “fix it now.'

Deploy applications

Using a simple 3-step wizard you can deploy applications to a target set of computers without worrying about having to deal with packaging or other complex processes. Additionally Essentials uses Background Intelligent Transfer Service 2.0 (BITS) to optimise traffic over your network.

Manage patches

Essentials provides integrated patch management for Microsoft products in the Microsoft Update catalog. You can choose to automatically deploy critical updates or have them be subject for approval, and track compliance across your network.

Perform Software Asset Management

System Center Essentials gathers more than 60 hardware attributes and a complete inventory of the applications running on each machine.

Easy to setup

Intelligent setup handles all prerequisites and the post-installation wizards help you configure settings. The built-in integration with Active Directory will allow you to manage a computer automatically the moment it’s added to your environment without any intervention.

Report on your environment

Go to the Essentials console and view more than 180 reports out of the box that help you gain better insight into how your IT environment is performing.
