Data protection and Recovery in the Data Centre using System Center Data Protection Manager 2007 Bobby Davasia Technology Specialist – Management Technologies | Microsoft India bobbyd@microsoft.com

Data Centers have Unique Challenges Hardware configurations BIOS management Remote management diagnostics Utilities and drivers OEM utilities Advanced network configurations Static IP addresses Multiple network adapters NIC Load Balance, speed/duplex configuration Clustering Complex disk configurations Driver Management Multiple physical disks Partition model, design RAID array Recovery, Utility partitions SAN design (fibre channel, iSCSI) Server role definition post deployment Longhorn Server Manager FSMO roles File and Print Location specific System Center Configuration Manager System Center Configuration Manager enables secure and scalable operating and application deployment, desired configuration management, system quarantine, and asset management of servers, desktops, and mobile devices.   New capabilities ensure that systems are checked and updated before joining the network, operating system and application deployment is greatly simplified for both new and existing systems, and configuration changes and system updates are more effectively managed regardless of location or device type, all of which enable IT managers to take control of their environment like never before. Deployment Hardware Consolidation Update Management Monitoring and Response Backup/ Disaster Recovery Regulatory Virtualization The current plan of record is to provide the following key capabilities: • Operating system deployment (OSD) is an automated and end-to-end solution for hands-off deployment • Network Access Protection • Software distribution • Software update management (SUM) • Desired configuration management • Device management • Software inventory and metering • Hardware inventory • Remote control • Wake On LAN • Windows Vista and Microsoft Office 12 upgrade assessment • Vulnerability assessment • Software Development Kit (SDK) provides extensibility • Scalable yet flexible • Internationalization • Easy to use infrastructure

Managing the Desktop and Server Lifecycle Hardware Provisioning Virtual Workload Provisioning OS / Software Deploy, Patching and State Mgmt Performanceand Health Monitoring Disaster Recovery Backup Managing the Desktop and Server Lifecycle Backup Hardware Provisioning Disaster Recovery Virtual Workload Provisioning Server Management Suite Enterprise OS / Software Deploy, Patching and State Mgmt Key Messages: Now have complete IT lifecycle management Integrated solution for both physical and virtual environments – e.g workflow of monitoring application with virtual and physical servers , see issue and fix issue, all within same environment Complete lifecycle of IT Systems including desktops, servers and devices in any location All these capabilities in one solution, from Microsoft Detail: While System Center products such as Configuration Manager and Operations Manager have been deployed successfully by customers we are now able to offer capabilities to support the complete IT service management lifecycle. Lets look at how we can now support you through out that lifecycle. Hardware provisioning: As customers look to roll out new line of business applications or look to update their data center with new versions of Windows Server 2008, SQL Server 2008 or Exchange 2007, able to take advantage of Configuration Managers ability to provision server straight from the bare metal server. Configuration Manager also delivers standardized configurations for servers, similar to the Management Packs available for Operations Manger – making the process much quicker and more reliable Workload provisioning: Ability to provision goes beyond physical servers. Virtual Machine Manager allows you to do intelligent virtual server and workload provisioning enabling you to make best use of the hardware and network resources in your data center. Also allow you to do conversion of servers to a virtual state. This includes not only physical to virtual conversion but also conversion of virtual to virtual. This in an interface that will be familiar to Operations Manager users, making it easier and quicker to take advantage Patching and deployment: Lots of manual patching still happens. With Configuration Manager patching a deployment of server is completely automated. Includes management of drivers and enforcement of server maintenance windows to support your efforts to meet your datacenter compliance requirements Monitoring of physical and virtual servers: Once the servers have been deployed the next step is to monitor their performance and health – which of course extends to servers deployed on both physical and virtual environments. Operations Manager delivers that monitoring capability for the data center and can even automate the discovery of the servers once they have been deployed. Configuration Manager also has a major role to play here in monitoring how servers drift from desired configurations, and flagging that to you – this can help improve compliance, security, performance, all of which can be impacted by server configuration drift. Disaster Recovery: With Operations Manager monitoring your servers and thus flagging to you where any issues are arising, the next action could well to implement your disaster recovery plan for your key datacenter information - SQL Server database, Exchange messages, or SharePoint information. These are all sources that Data Protection Manager can provide disaster recovery capabilities for (in addition to existing capability for file and print servers) Backup: Data protection also delivers the backup capabilities that secures your datacenter content, all through one environment. This even includes virtual server based data and the virtual machines themselves. All of this combines to deliver support for the complete IT lifecycle and its all delivered from one integrated solution. In fact all of these capabilities are available in one package from Microsoft, meaning you can get this complete lifecycle capability from one vendor. Truly integrated server management from Microsoft Performance and Health Monitoring 60
