Microsoft Codename Concero

I had heard this product name a few weeks back from a blog post online and was intruged by the possibilities of this new cloud management solution.

During his keynote speech this morning, Microsoft VP Brad Anderson spoke about and demonstrated the new private and public self service portal that will really put it up to VMWare in the battle for systems and cloud management.

Concero allows administrators to manage multiple private and public clouds while provisioning virtual machines and services to individual business units. Using Concero with the newly announced System Center 2012 products, datacenter administrators will be able to provision not only virtual machine OS deployments, but leveraging App-V, you will be able to deploy and manage down to the application level thus minimising the amount of VHD template's that are stored in the library.
