System Center Capacity Planner 2007 en version RTM
A l'heure de la sortie de Windows 2008 en version RTM, l'équipe produit de SCCP 2007 (Microsoft System Center Capacity Planner 2007) annonce la sortie de l'outil de planification en version RTM. Pour ceux qui ne l'ont pas testé auparavant, c'est un outil de planification des capacité très utile dans les phases de pré-déploiement et de post déploiement (pour analyser les évolutions possiles) sur les plateformes types Exchange, SCOM ou Sharepoint 2007.
Si les modèles sont déjà disponibles pour Exchange 2007, ceux de Sharepoint 2007 vont a priori sortir dans peu de temps sur le site Technet.
