New Solution Accelerator Programs for SCVMM 2012 and SC Orchestrator

Microsoft's Travis Wright has just posted up some really cool information onto the System Center Virtual Machine Manager Engineering Blog about two new solution accelerators for System Center 2012 Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM/VMM) and System Center 2012 Orchestrator (SCO\SCOrch).

I have been using Microsoft Solution Accelerators with System Center for a number of years and they're always an excellent addition to your deployments so well worth attending these sessions online.

A description of each of the new accelerators is below (taken directly from the original blog post):

One program will provide Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM) service templates and a SCVMM add-in to help you discover them. The other program will provide datacenter automation for private clouds using System Center Orchestrator. Datacenter automation for System Center Orchestrator enables you to automate operations of private cloud workloads such as SharePoint and Windows Server.

You can join up to the 'System Center Virtual Machine Manager Service Templates and the Service Templates Explorer Beta Program' from here (you'll need to create a Microsoft Connect account for yourself with a Windows Live ID first if you haven't already got one):
