Microsoft is developing a brand new management device, code-named “Concero,
Office Home And Business 2010 X64,” that will allow customers to oversee both on-premises and cloud-based services.Microsoft is planning to show off the new member of its System Center product line at the Microsoft Management Summit (MMS) 2011 conference in March. There is a mention of Concero on the MMS Web site agenda,
Microsoft Office Pro, that explains the coming product this way:“The move to cloud based deployment of services will result in deployments which are partly on private on-premise clouds based on VMM and Hyper-V and partly on Windows Azure. In this hybrid world,
Office 2010 Standard X86, it is imperative to have a management instrument that allows customers to deploy and manage their services across these environments. System Center codename “Concero” is a self-service portal targeted at this customer base.”The Concero instrument will allow customers to manage both on-premises Services running on Hyper-V hypervisor and System Center Virtual Machine Manager (a new version of which is due in the latter half of 2011), and off-premises Services running on Windows Azure and Windows Azure Appliances. Concero will be built on Silverlight, to enable an “access anywhere” experience, according to information on Microsoft;s Web site.I also found a Microsoft job listing mentioning Concero and caling the Concero team key to Microsoft;s effort to compete with rival VMware.“Together with our sister teams in System Center and Azure we will deliver a world class experience that will shift customers from VM Ware (sic) to Microsoft,
Office 2010 Home And Business Serial Key,” said the job posting.I asked Microsoft officials when the company plans to field a beta of Concero and when the final version is slated to be released. No word back so far. Microsoft officials said they have no information to share at this time regarding Concero.
Concero, in Latin,
Microsoft Office 2010 Standard Key, means “connect” or “join in conflict.” Hmmm…. Does that say something about the company;s view on interconnecting public and private clouds…?
