OMS will simplify IT management by allowing users to manage\u00a0workloads across multiple cloud services from a variety of vendors, including Azure, Amazon Web Services, Windows Server, Linux, VMware, and OpenStack.<\/p>\n<p>&#8221; [OMS] helps simplify management of your data center assets wherever they live,&#8221; wrote Microsoft product manager, Jeremy Winder, in an official blog post. &#8220;That means any instance in any cloud, including your data center, Azure, AWS, Windows Server, Linux, VMware, and OpenStack.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Key OMS features include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Log Analytics<\/strong>, which allows users to search millions of records across infrastructures and machines to identify the cause of operational issues.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Security\u00a0<\/strong>features for identifying malware status and missing system updates, performing security audits and breach analysis, and identity and access management controls.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Availability controls<\/strong> to enable application and data protection for all apps and servers across a multi-cloud environment<\/li>\n<li><strong>Automation\u00a0<\/strong>for complex and repetitive operations in a hybrid cloud environment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>OMS is a cautious play at the largely open market for management tools that work for businesses using multi-cloud and hybrid cloud infrastructure environments. Use of Hybrid cloud environments <a href=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/cloud-platforms\/a-few-key-trends-for-cloud-computing-in-2015-hybrid-cloud-and-multi-cloud-approaches\/\" target=\"_blank\">is growing<\/a>, but so far there are few unified solutions, as large vendors, such as AWS, Microsoft, and Google, would prefer to keep users in their own cloud environment.<\/p>\n<p>The release of OMS is just the latest in a series of broad steps towards the cloud for Microsoft.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, <a href=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/cloud-platforms\/microsoft-is-a-platform-company-now-aims-for-20b-annual-cloud-revenue-by-2018\/\" target=\"_blank\">Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella announced<\/a> that the company is a &#8220;platform company&#8221; with plans to raise cloud revenues to an annual $20B by 2018.
