Universal Automation EnvironmentDemo – Compellent Technologies

Today’s IT Challenges

Increasing demands from the businessReliance on technology for business-critical operationsAlways-available, anywhere

Increasing complexityAdding capabilities adds management burden80% of IT cost is managing existing systems

Trends of the future magnify challengesMove to Datacenters – large scale, virtualization remote managementOutsourcing – lower skilled, high turnover users

Windows Server 2008 R2 Streamlined Management Scenarios

•PowerShell: Universal Code Execution Model, GUI over PowerShell, Production Scripting•WMI: Discoverability through PS, Profile discovery, CIM update•WS-Man: Remote Shell, Support for hosted environments (Web proxy traversal, Federated Auth using Live ID), Hardware Management (out-of-band management in-band with OS), Resource management•BITS: Lightweight server•PS cmdlets across all!

Datacenter Automation

•Known fact: most customers do not perform in-place upgrade•Migration is a complex problem – both from technical and process perspective•WS7 – pragmatic approach – focus on understanding the problem and building foundation•Goal: consistent documentation across all roles, Stretch: scriptable solution for core roles •Lays foundation for more complete and richer solution in the future

Server Migration

•Server Manager creates consistency and enables integration•Goal: Further improve Server Manager, adding incremental value•Key features: PS cmdlets to add/remove roles/features, remoting, Best Practice Analyzers•Incubating next-gen UX – Active Directory User Management

Server Manager & PowerShell Integration

PowerShell

• As interactive and composable as BASH/KSH• As programmatic as Perl/Python/Ruby• As production oriented as AS400 CL/VMS DCL• Allows access to data stores as easy to access as filesystem
