Scom 2012 Beta out now

And you find a link to the download and info here

Biggest focus are cloud of course (Manage both public and private cloud as well as your datacenter)

This is what the Q&A picks out as the biggest news:
·         Common console across datacenter and clouds. You get a consistent view across the Operations Manager 2012 console, web console, and SharePoint, with the information you need to keep IT services running across datacenter and cloud resources. In addition, you can use dashboard templates to create custom views tailored to your specific needs.
·         Rich Application Performance Monitoring: With newly integrated AVIcode technology for monitoring .NET applications, Operations Manager 2012 delivers .NET application performance monitoring and diagnostics. Additionally, support for JEE application health monitoring has been added to help ensure the availability of a broad number of business-critical applications and services.
·         Support for heterogeneous environments. If you run a variety of operating systems—Windows, Linux, and UNIX servers and their workloads—Operations Manager 2012 provides a single console to monitor this heterogeneous environment.
·         Integrated network device monitoring and alerts. Operations Manager 2012 now includes network device monitoring. Instead of simply monitoring each server, it is now possible to look at the underlying network topology that connects the servers. You get a single end-to-end view to help you understand how your server and network infrastructure is working as a whole—from node to network to servers to applications and services.
·          Simplified management infrastructure. The use of management servers and server pools enables a highly available monitoring infrastructure without expensive hardware or complicated configurations. And with one-step setup for high availability, you get support for automatic failover.
 And they have acctualy set a relase time frame (even though its just statet as first half of 2012)
