System Center

System Center is a suite of data center management solutions developed by Microsoft.

At its inception, System Center was not a software but a marketing denomination of separate software forming a coherent product line. Each product offering features to satisfy a major business requirement in the ITIL library. Together, the solutions offered capabilities to automate IT management processes. They were also able to work together by using connectors to exchange data.Example: SCOM could send alerts to SCSM to open an Incident ticket.
 * System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM)
 * System Center Operations Manager (SCOM)
 * System Center Data Protection Manager (SCDPM)
 * System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM)
 * System Center Service Manager (SCSM)
 * System Center Orchestrator (SCO)

Since System Center 2012, the connectors were abandoned and the feature was taken over by Orchestrator 2012. Centralizing the exchange of data between all the different components.
