Key Benefits of Microsoft Operations Manager (MOM)

In general, MOM gives small businesses the benefits of full-time network monitoring plus expertise in problem resolution without having to pay for a large, full-time I.T. staff.

  • Proactively identifies and resolves many problems: MOM increases the availability of business-critical applications by proactively identifying and helping to resolve problems before they can bring down a server.
  • Optimizes network performance: MOM can optimize network performance by checking predefined performance thresholds and usage patterns on key servers, allowing network managers to be more proactive in adding performance-related resources and to eliminate problem areas before they cause serious network bottlenecks.
  • Reduces I.T. staffing costs: MOM reduces I.T. staffing costs by simplifying the tasks of network management. Because MOM can intelligently filter and consolidate massive amounts of data collected from many servers, fewer network managers are needed to oversee I.T. operations. In addition, MOM's ability to act automatically in response to alerts makes it possible to create rules-based scripts that can take complex corrective actions which would otherwise require the manual intervention of technical personnel.
  • Send automated alerts to support staff: By automatically generating alerts and distributing them via e-mail or wireless pagers to predetermined support staff, MOM makes it easier for I.T. organizations to meet service level agreements. MOM's Knowledge Base helps resolve problems faster, and MOM's reports ensure that job tickets don't fall through the cracks. Automatic 24x7 monitoring and alert generation also allows companies to their allocate I.T. staff more efficiently so that more productive work can be accomplished without compromising network support.
