How does MOM 2005 relate to the Dynamic Systems Initiative (DSI), Microsofts long-term management strategy?
A. MOM 2005 is a key component of DSI, an industry-wide initiative led by Microsoft aimed at delivering software that maximizes resources and decreases labor costs across the entire IT life cycle by including manageability into all components. By driving operational requirements back into IT systems at design time, a strong connection can be created between system design and IT operations and ultimately to users utilizing the applications. The development of MOM management packs by application developers is an example of “designing for operations,” a pillar of DSI. For more information, see the DSI Web site.
