Whilst Dynamics CRM 2011 is available as a Microsoft hosted Cloud offering there are still a number of clients who have deployed it as an in-house solution.
For these clients there is now a key component available to them. The ability to monitor and manage their deployment using the same toolset that they use on the rest of their infrastructure, Microsoft System Centre.
