Office Communications Server 2007 R2 Product Overview – v 2009.1.30 50
Leverages a common infrastructure for reporting system health
Like Exchange Server, Office
Communications Server 2007 R2
supports System Center Operations
Manager 2007, which gives IT
administrators one place to look when
monitoring the health of their unified
communications deployment (see Figure
61). Having one place to look for
reporting all communications issues
simplifies the monitoring process and
lowers the cost of managing the
communications infrastructure.

Support for video in system monitoring
Office Communications Server 2007 R2
includes reports to monitor voice, video, and
IM conversations in the network; the reports
also include a rich data warehouse for
historical analysis/trending (see Figure 62).
These reports work across communications
modes, which simplify management and
tracking, and they allow organizations to easily
evaluate user communications experiences.
This feature is improved in Office
Communications Server 2007 R2 with the
major improvement being the addition of
video.
