Despite touting technology this week designed to let users integrate management platforms using modeling technology, Microsoft and its partners are missing key specifications that will take months to complete and years to roll into products.
Microsoft this year and early next will upgrade all the core tools that support its Dynamic Systems Initiative (DSI), a plan to create a management platform for Windows. Going forward, support for emerging modeling standards will be added to foster integration with other management tools and platforms.
Microsoft's message was that corporate users finally will get their hands on DSI-enabled tools, such as System Center Operations Manager 2007 and Configuration Manager 2007, to start testing the worthiness of the four-year-old DSI vision.
