xVM Ops Center 2.5

It's been about a month since we shipped Ops Center 2.1.  The field teams are in full swing rolling it out at new customers, but the engineering teams are all heads down working on new features for Ops Center 2.5!  It's a busy time to be sure, but I thought I'd take some time over the next few days to give you all a sneak peak of some of the new things coming in 2.5 -- which is due the second-half of this Summer.

The first one I thought I'd give you a peak at is Windows update management.  One of the key features for Ops Center has always been it's advanced support for patching Solaris and Linux systems.  However, we haven't been able to help people with Windows.  Well, in Ops Center 2.5 we're adding support for patching of Windows -- giving users a "single pane of glass" to manage Solaris, Linux and Windows patching.  Here's a screen shot just to whet your appetitie!

Keep an eye out for more previews of 2.5 features here.  More previews to come soon!
