Key Information Technology (KIT) and Microsoft give IT professionals innovative management solutions at GITEX 2007

The software giant and leading IT solutions provider have joined forces at the region's largest IT exhibition in order to showcase Microsoft System Center Essentials 2007.

System Center Essentials 2007 is a unified management solution designed specifically for midsized businesses that allows IT managers to proactively monitor, secure, update, and trouble shoot their servers, clients, and IT services. The management solution optimizes the experience of performing a broad set of tasks across the entire IT environment, while providing IT managers with the simplicity of managing and viewing their servers, clients, hardware, software, and IT services from a single console.

"We are very excited about showcasing System Center Essentials 2007 through KIT this year," said Desmond Nair, Business Group Manager, Microsoft Gulf.

"KIT has been a Microsoft Gold Partner for over a year now and has proven to be one of the strongest IT solutions players in the market today with their 25 years of experience, and we are very proud to have them showcase our latest products at GITEX 2007."

KIT has been in the forefront of the Information Technology Solutions provider market in the Middle East since 1980. The company offers a whole range of business solutions to various sized organizations, making life significantly easier on IT managers in the Middle East.

KIT also has a strong partnership with Dell, providing customers with innovative enterprise solutions including data backup, high availability clustering, server consolidation through virtualization and SAN Storage/Disaster recovery solutions. These solutions provide a low TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) while providing companies with a high ROI (Return on Investment). Dell focuses on simplifying IT and maximizing business flexibility through its products, services and strategic alliances.

System Center Essentials 2007 is a perfect example of KIT's ability to provide solutions that simplify system management. The unified solution provides accelerated trouble shooting and problem resolution, and is self-managing in that it notifies you as soon as a problem occurs, then helps you proactively diagnose and fix it. Essentials 2007 also simplifies management tasks like packaging and deploying software, adding website monitoring, and creating and configuring group policy.

Proving that the strategic partnership between KIT and Microsoft remains a strong and successful one, System Center Essentials 2007 will be demoed and showcased at GITEX 2007 at the KIT stand, where KIT's technical staff will be available to discuss the great advantages of the innovative Microsoft product.
