SC Online Services: Attached Knowledge Services

In March, Techlog wrote a story about System Center Online Services and what had happended to it.

Now, during the Microsoft Management Summit day 2 keynote, Brad Anderson had an update on the System Center Online Services strategy. He announced the beta of an "attached service" called Attached Knowledge Services. It essentially provides services in the cloud by means of a web portal, which connects to an on-premise SCCM environment.

Features like Scorecarding, Comparison, and integrating to WS2003 and SCCM 2007 are available out of the box. The scorecarding drills into performance aspects, SLA aspects and gives a broad overview of how the IT shop is performing. While still in Technology Preview stage, TAP customers are already onboard. Brad commented later that more will be announced at IT Forum Barcelona in November of this year. In the meanwhile, check out the exclusive screenshots:
