Overview
Northwind Traders is a retail company.
The company has offices in North America, Europe, and Asia.
The company plans to implement a private cloud solution that uses System Center 2012 R2.
Existing Environment
Network Infrastructure
Northwind Traders has a single data center that contains an internal network and a perimeter network. The
networks are separated by a firewall. The relevant portion of the network is shown in the exhibit. (Click the
Exhibit button.)
The networks contain the network devices shown in the following table.
The network contains an Active Directory forest named northwindtraders.com. The forest contains servers that
run either Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2012, or Windows Server 2008 R2.
Northwind Traders uses Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) to deploy updates to all of the servers in
the data center. WSUS is installed on a server named NWT-WSUS01.
The network contains as the servers shown in the following table.
Virtualization Infrastructure
Northwind Traders has Hyper-V hosts that run either Windows Server 2012 R2 or Windows Server 2012. The
Hyper-V hosts contain virtual machines that are used on the network.
The current System Center 2012 infrastructure does not use any cloud settings in VMM.
Application Infrastructure
Northwind Traders develops several web applications by using the Microsoft .NET Framework. The company
also hosts a third-party UNIX-based web application on the perimeter network.
Planned Implementation
Network Infrastructure
Northwind Traders plans to upgrade all physical servers to Windows Server 2012 R2.
Northwind Traders also plans to upgrade all of the System Center 2012 components to System Center 2012 R2
and to deploy all of the System Center components that are not deployed already.
The company plans to deploy the new System Center 2012 R2 servers shown in the following table.
NWT-SCOM2 will be deployed to the perimeter network
Virtualization Infrastructure
After the planned deployment of System Center 2012 R2, Northwind Traders plans to move all virtual machines
to four new private clouds named IT, Sales, Finance, and Corporate.
Northwind Traders also plans to virtualize all of the servers that run SharePoint Server 2013.
Northwind Traders plans to provide a runbook-based solution for application developers to create virtual
machines in a test environment.
Northwind Traders also plans to implement a chargeback solution for the virtual machines used by the IT,
Sales, and Finance departments.
Monitoring Solution
After the planned deployment of System Center 2012 R2, Northwind Traders plans to implement the following
monitoring solutions:
Generate reports that provide details about the virtual machines, the storage pools, and the network devices
used in the private clouds.
Monitor the availability, CPU usage, and memory usage of all the network devices in the data center.
Monitor the performance of all the SharePoint servers by using a single dashboard.
Updates Solution
After the planned deployment of System Center 2012 R2, Northwind Traders plans to manage updates from
System Center 2012 R2 and to integrate the existing WSUS server into the System Center 2012 R2
infrastructure.

Explanation:
If you want to use integration packs (IPs) that extend the capabilities of Orchestrator, such as integration of
other platforms and tools (for example, HP Service Manager), you need to register and deploy them into your
Orchestrator environment. This can be done using the
Deployment Manager, a tool that is used to deploy runbook servers and Runbook Designers.
The Orchestrator Runbook Designer shown in Figure 2-1 is a graphical interface for authoring runbooks
(source same pdf page 5)
The Orchestrator Runbook Tester is another key feature that assists in the runbook design process by
providing the ability to test runbook functionality prior to implementation of your runbooks in a production
environment (source same pdf page 7).
