Available today, Microsoft Operations Management Suite (OMS) is a cloud-based solution that extends System Center capabilities for management across almost any hybrid cloud, including Azure, third-party clouds such as Amazon Web Services, Windows Server, Linux, VMware or OpenStack.
OMS takes Microsoft IT management solutions to the cloud, enabling greater control and new capabilities across a hybrid cloud environment.

- Single view: Enable a unified view of all IT assets whether on-premises or in the cloud, from a single console.
- IT efficiency: Reduce the need for multiple tools and interfaces, and increase your productivity.
- Fast onboarding: Using just your email address, you are up and running in a fully unified management environment
