Global Service Monitor for System Center 2012 SP1 Operations Manager
In the Service Pack 1 for System Center 2012 and new feature for Operations Manager will be released call Global Service Monitor (GSM). This feature will allow you to schedule synthetic transactions from geo-distributed locations to monitor availability, performance and reliability of your externally facing web applications. Actually this monitoring will go trough Windows Azure and the data will be send to your SCOM servers. I suspect that this feature will be available only for customers who has Software Assurance. Read more about this feature on SCOM Team blog here.

Backup is going to the cloud also
Windows 8 have this feature to backup the server to the cloud. Until today there was not so much information about that except that the data will be backed up to Azure storage. Thanks to Technet blogs we now have more information on the matter. I think the most interesting feature is that third party companies can develop their own Online Backup solution by using API.
