IT Management Designed for Midsize Businesses
Microsoft System Center Essentials is a new management solution in the System Center family of IT systems management products. Essentials is specifically designed for IT professionals working in midsize businesses who often face IT challenges similar to those of larger enterprises—troubleshooting end user problems, automating management tasks, managing multiple systems, and diagnosing and resolving IT problems.
System Center Essentials provides a unified management solution that enables IT professionals in midsize organizations to proactively manage their IT environment with increased efficiency.
- Unified
Essentials provides a unified solution to help optimize the experience of performing a broad set of tasks across your entire IT environment. You also get a single console from which you can view and manage your servers, clients, hardware, software, and IT services.

Essentials accelerates troubleshooting and problem resolution. It’s a self-managing solution that notifies you as soon as a problem occurs, then helps you proactively diagnose and fix it, accelerating problem resolution. Essentials also automates system updates and data collection for your IT environment, so it’s more secure and up-to-date.
- Increased Efficiency
Essentials simplifies complex management tasks like packaging and deploying software, adding Web site monitoring, and creating and configuring group policy. Essentials wizards also help you quickly and easily configure security settings, deploy updates, and discover assets.
