Module Overview

In many large companies, recent years have brought dramatic changes to the enterprise data center
hosting many of the IT services. One of the most significant changes is the introduction of virtualization.
Currently, the default deployment for new servers is often a virtual machine rather than a physical
machine. Data centers have changed in other ways, as organizations need to deal with changing
business requirements.

These changes mean that the enterprise data center is now more complex, and needs to be much more
responsive to changes. Managing the data center has become more complex as organizations seek to
optimize performance and provide features like self-service. These requirements drive the need for a new
set of management tools to manage the data center.
This module describes some of the changes and new requirements that organizations are experiencing in
their data centers. This module also describes how you can use Microsoft® System Center 2012 R2 to
manage this environment.

Objectives
After completing this module, you will be able to:
•

Describe the enterprise data center.

•

Describe how you can use System Center 2012 R2 to manage the enterprise data center.


Lesson 1

Overview of the Enterprise Data Center
Many large organizations have deployed one or more central data centers to provide most of their
information technology (IT) services. These data centers are adapting to address changing business
requirements. This lesson describes some of the changes that organizations have made to their data
centers, and how new requirements for IT processes and tools have evolved from these changes.

Lesson Objectives
After completing this lesson, you will be able to:
•

Describe an enterprise data center.

•

Describe the importance of virtualization in the data center.

•

Explain extending the enterprise data center to the public cloud.

•

Describe the tools needed to manage and monitor the data center.

•

Describe the requirements and options for providing security in the data center.

•

Describe the importance of providing monitoring and reporting in the data center.

•

Describe options for implementing high availability and business continuity in the data center.

•

Describe options for automating the data center.

What Is an Enterprise Data Center?
An enterprise data center is a centralized location
from which organizations provide the necessary
IT services for accomplishing their business
requirements and goals. Most enterprise data
centers provide a similar set of core services,
including:

1-2 Overview of Management in an Enterprise Data Center

•

Infrastructure services. Enterprise data centers
provide a core set of services that are
required for all other services to operate.
These include the core network infrastructure
and network services such as Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and Domain
Name System (DNS).

•

Authentication and security services. Most organizations use Active Directory® Domain Services
(AD DS) to provide a central security database for user authentication and authorization.
Organizations may need to provide additional security services for authenticating users to
applications that are not AD DS–integrated or for authenticating users who do not have AD DS
accounts.

•

Central storage of data. Almost all enterprise data centers provide centralized storage of data. This
data may be stored on shared folders on file servers, in databases, or on websites. Users throughout
the organization need secure access to this data.

•

Messaging and collaboration services. Email is an essential part of most business processes. In some
organizations, other collaboration tools, such as instant messaging, desktop conferencing, and other
interactive web-based tools, are becoming more important. The enterprise data center provides
access to these services.

•

Server-based applications. The enterprise data center provides access to a wide variety of serverbased applications, including web-based applications, database applications, remote desktop–based
applications, or even virtual machines that users can access.

The core set of services that enterprise data centers provide has not changed significantly. However, the
way in which IT organizations provide these services has changed radically. Typically, the services that
enterprise data centers provide, and the clients who consume the services, have been easy to predict and
manage. Initially, most data center services were for internal users, who connected to the services by using
desktop computers connected to a wired network. Organizations deployed services on physical servers
and IT departments understood how to deploy and manage new services that the organization required.

The data center’s boundary and the clients that it supported were easily definable and fairly static.
However, in the last 10 years, data centers have changed significantly in the way they provide their
services. Now data centers need to provide services to clients that connect to the data center from
internal networks but also from locations and networks outside the organization. Data center clients may
include mobile devices. This means that organizations now need to provide access to internal services
from the Internet, while providing much higher levels of security. Organizations have become much more
conscious of the cost and the environmental impact of running large data centers, so they ask their IT
departments to optimize the performance and utilization of all data center components. Successful
organizations can adapt rapidly to changing business requirements, and IT departments must be able to
roll out necessary new services efficiently. Organizations are allowing a larger and more diverse group of
users to access their IT services. Therefore, it is becoming increasingly important that these services are
always available. In addition, organizations must develop highly effective business continuity plans.

Considerations for Virtualizing an Enterprise Data Center
One of the central features of an enterprise data
center is virtualization, especially server
virtualization. Most organizations, except for the
smallest, deploy almost all new servers as virtual
machines. An environment that is almost
completely virtualized provides many benefits:
•

Increased utilization of hardware. The primary
benefit that most organizations experience
with virtualization is that they can fully utilize
server hardware. Organizations can deploy a
smaller number of virtualization hosts as
physical machines and then deploy multiple
virtual machines to each host. This enables organizations to utilize their hardware resources fully,
instead of barely utilizing multiple physical machines. Because they deploy fewer physical machines,

organizations experience significant decreases in data center power and cooling requirements.

•

Business agility. Another important benefit of virtualization is the ability to respond rapidly to
changing business requirements. In a virtual environment, an IT department can address a request
from a business group to have a new server, set of servers, or application deployed in hours rather
than days or weeks. If you need to move a server to a different location, it is a simple matter of
copying files across a network.
