Microsoft;s just-announced no cost anti-virus/anti-malware company, codenamed Morro, isn;t the only new Microsoft safety service inside the works.Corporation officials made a passing reference at their SharePoint Online/Exchange Via the internet launch earlier this week to a new Microsoft-hosted support that may be part with the Over the internet family members. A Microsoft blog posting on November eighteen shed a bit far more light on the new service.Microsoft is arranging to make the new (and up to now not-officially named) protection support out there in 2010, according to the post on Microsoft;s Server and Instruments Enterprise News Bytes weblog. A companion support — Microsoft hosted management — also is set for delivery in 2010, the weblog posting said. The posting went on to note:“(T)hese new offerings will enable IT managers to secure and manage desktops using Web-based subscription services. These management and safety on the net services will probably be based on components from existing systems management,
Microsoft Office 2007, identity and protection offerings,
Windows 7 Home Premium Key, and will complement Microsoft’s on-premise solutions.”As I noted earlier this year, there has been talk for a number of months about Microsoft turning its Forefront security software into a Microsoft-hosted Forefront On line support.Forefront is the uber-brand for a family members of Microsoft enterprise safety products that handle everything from Exchange security, to firewalling. In June 2007, Microsoft officials said they had started work around the next-generation versions of Forefront Client Security, Server Security and Edge Safety and Access solutions, plus a brand new, unified management console for these products. This group of offerings is known as Stirling. Stirling products will likely be tightly integrated with one another, as well as with Active Directory and Microsoft System Center.I also had heard previously that Microsoft was taking its System Center management software and morphing parts of it into a Microsoft-hosted management company. Tipsters said earlier this year that a “System Center Online” company potentially could include anti-virus, anti-spyware, system monitoring,
Office Pro 2007 Key, backup/restore, asset inventory monitoring, policy management and software distribution/deployment services.At the Microsoft Professional Developer Conference in October,
Buy Office 2010, firm officials said Microsoft;s gameplan is to offer a services complement to every one of its enterprise software products.Existing offerings in the Microsoft Over the internet Services portfolio include the Dynamics CRM Online services; the now-shipping Exchange Online and SharePoint On the net services; Office Live Meeting (a new version of which, slated to be built on top of the Azure cloud platform, is within the functions); Office Communications On-line, the hosted version of Office Communications Server due in the first half of 2009; and the Organization Productivity Suite Internet, a bundle of Exchange On the internet, SharePoint On the net,
Office 2007 Enterprise Key, Communications Server On line and Live Meeting.
