IT Admins are responding to incidents on a day-to-day basis, but management wants to shift to service monitoring. The biggest mismatch there is the maturity level and misconception that technology will fix the GAP. We know that’s not true! Walter Eikenboom shows you how to get from component monitoring to LOB application monitoring with Microsoft System Center 2012 - Operations Manager SP1 and changing the operational paradigm to a private cloud service connecting System Center Orchestrator and System Center Service Manager 2012, creating processes to get your infrastructure to a private cloud. All set and sleep tight!
