| Microsoft phases out System Center Capacity
| Planner from its management line-up: Iâd assume
| most enterprises running Microsoftâs System
| Center Capacity Planner (SCPP) have gotten fair
| warning on this, but just in caseâ Microsoft is
| discontinuing its Capacity Planner product
| family. âMicrosoft System Center Capacity Planner
| (SCCP) is formally being discontinued, effective
| immediately, as it no longer supports the current
| versions of Microsoft applications it was
| designed for,â according to the Softies. There
| are no new versions of SCPP coming and no new or
| updated app capacity planning models in
| development. Free, mainstream support for SCPP
| 2007 is \available until 4/9/2013, according to
| the company. Microsoft has a list of other
| applications it suggests users employ for
| capacity planning in place of SCPP on TechNet.
| Thanks to Directions on Microsoft for a heads-up
| on this.)
