Lessons from the Datacenter: Managed Availability
Monitoring is a key component for any successful deployment of Exchange. In previous releases, we invested heavily in developing a correlation engine and worked closely with the System Center Operations Manager (SCOM) product group to provide a comprehensive alerting solution for Exchange environments.
Traditionally, monitoring involved collecting data and if necessary performing an action based on the collected data. For example, in the context of SCOM, different mechanisms were used to collect data via the Exchange Management Pack:
