The Operations Management Suite dashboard 
When you click a “Tile,” you can explore yet more in-depth information about the area of focus. By 
default, each intelligence pack comes with its own set of rules, but within a few clicks, administrators 
can generate rulesets related to their needs and subsequently create visualizations of that information 
in more powerful and creative ways. 
Operations Management Suite can complement your existing deployment of System Center, or it can 
act as a standalone platform, managing systems deployed across any cloud and on-premises 
environment.

CHAPTER 1 | Introduction to Microsoft Windows Server 2016 
The Operations Management Suite platform is divided into the following pillars: 

Insights and Analytics 
This pillar focuses on collecting data from multiple sources, correlating activities, and providing 
mechanisms with which you can act on the results using alerts and searches to trigger activities. It 
is also capable of mapping and understanding the dependencies of workloads in the same 
capacity. 

Security and Compliance 
This pillar, which is built from Microsoft security data and analysis, helps you to prevent, detect, 
and respond to threats more effectively than ever before. With the increased visibility into what is 
happening into your environment, you can mitigate situations and enforce policies to fully control 
your IT ecosystem that spans the cloud. 

Automation and Control 
This pillar concentrates on giving back control to IT administrators. Here, you can trigger 
runbooks from alerts generated in the Insights and Analytics pillar and driving operational 
efficiencies through automation. 

Protection and Recovery 
This pillar is based on giving simple and efficient cloud backup and disaster recovery to 
organizations today. With it, you can automate your disaster recovery runbook in a controlled and 
efficient manner, ensuring success every time. 
Although these pillars are important to understand what makes up the Operations Management Suite 
and how you can approach your adoption of the suite. It does not represent all of the potential 
solution packs available or coming in the gallery today. Figure 1-4 depicts the solution packs 
customers can use to gain further intelligence and visibility on their IT environment, both today and 
what’s coming in the future:
