The last couple of years a new release of Microsoft was normally not officially communicated more than two months before the final release date. Today Brad Anderson, blogged about the release date of Windows Server 2012 R2, System Center 2012 R2, the latest update of Windows Intune and Windows 8.1. The release of all of those products are scheduled for October 18, 2013. The products are first available from the TechNet Evaluation Center, as from the 1st of November the products will be available if you need to purchase a new version.
Together with Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows 8.1 and Windows Intune this is another big wave of new products since as we all know that System Center 2012 R2 consists of the following products;
- System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager
- System Center 2012 R2 Endpoint Protection
- System Center 2012 R2 Operations Manager
- System Center 2012 R2 App Controller
- System Center 2012 R2 Orchestrator
- System Center 2012 R2 Service Manager
- System Center 2012 R2 Data Protection Manager
- System Center 2012 R2 Virtual Machine Manager
Autumn and Winter will be a nice System Center time again 🙂 First need to spend some time writing about the great Configuration Manager 2012 R2 product 🙂
