Comparing Scalability Between MOM 2005 and SCOM 2007 R2

I am currently working on a project where the customer has MOM 2005 and is looking to implement SCOM 2007 R2. As part of the design we have been looking at scalability differences between the older version, MOM 2005 and the newer version, SCOM 2007 R2.

There are some scalability differences but in a number of cases the recommended limits are very similar.

The following table compares scalability limits between MOM 2005 and SCOM 2007 R2 (however this table is not exhaustive, for instance it does not include details on non Windows client, which was an addition to SCOM 2007 R2). For further information on this see http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb735402.aspx
