TechTarget reports on plans for the release of the System Center Operations Manager (SCOM) by Microsoft and Novell. "Microsoft and Novell Inc. said the two-year-old collaboration to better manage Windows and SUSE Linux will produce its first fruit in the first half of 2009. Novell will make available the Advanced Management Pack for SUSE Linux Enterprise for Microsoft System Center Operations Manager 2007 R2 in the first half of 2009 to coincide with the release of Operations Manager 2007 R2. Novell has not yet set a price. The management pack will supplement the monitoring assessment and deployment features in Operations Manager and let managers view information using one console, said Sanjay Sidhu, director of marketing and business development at Microsoft."

Well it isn't out yet... and isn't going to come out for a while... so they can change the name between now and then.

I suspect they will, who wants a product that'll surely be pronounced "scom" rather than "ess cee oh em"?
