Microsoft to unify management tools

"Microsoft next year plans to untangle its management software lineup--and introduce its first such tools for Web services--in an effort to win corporate customers.

The company plans to unify its growing--and disparate--management software line and in the process deliver the first pieces of its long-term management strategy, called the Dynamic Systems Initiative, David Hamilton, director of Microsoft's Enterprise Management division, said this week. The goal of the initiative is to make corporate data-center gear better able to self-manage and more cost effective, according to Microsoft.
