Intelligent OS Deployment Automation

1. Intelligent OS Deployment Automation Rachel Landua & Jesse RodriGuez Altrinsic Solutions & Windows Management Experts DMVMUG User Conference 2013 – Reston, VA

2. Agenda • OSD and Software Component Deployment…a better approach as applied to: • OSD = Actual Zero Touch • Component Distribution = Improved Security, Stability & Manageability • Demo • Deploy Expert (DX) • Enterprise Driver Manager (EDM) • Q&A

3. Advanced Normalization • Normalization in IT Systems Management: • Is fundamental - to manage Complex Data Environments • Is the “glass ceiling” on your IT Management Process Efficacy, Efficiency & Determines Process Management Overhead • Is… “Normal”- Collections, Filters, Groups, Containers..etc • Can be tuned - Increasing the granularity of normalization means that your process management results become less “one size fits all” and more up to the challenge of the real-world complexities of your enterprise. Under-normalization means that your process leaves an expensive mess that hasto be cleaned up - no opt out. • Can change your IT world - Systems management technologies (e.g. System Center/Altrinsic etc.) allow increased granularity thus enabling better policy fit and therefore process output quality - all while decreasing management overhead.

4. OSD: Before Advanced Normalization

5. H.I.D.

6. A computer is not a make or model, but a collection of unique parts…

7. The consequences of resource gaps

10. Incomplete image deployments are an expensive hassle for organizations and force the I.T. Administrator to be the “human glue” holding it all together.

11. OSD: After Advanced Normalization

12. Overview • demo

13. Why DX A few HIIS/DX customers: Scott Air Force Base Direct TV Kaiser Network Rail New York Courts Dreamworks Animation State of New Mexico EMNRD City of Honolulu City of Portland Humboldt University US Airlines Jacobs Engineering Wynn Las Vegas Coleman Barclays Bank Lockheed Martin • We are state of the art – no competitor can match our feature set • DX offers native SCCM integration • Eliminates deployment pain • Resources drivers without external downloading • Comprehensive device/driver harmony • Eliminates tedious folder set up • Automatically associates apps • Provides one console to see the entire environment • Automatically integrates in task sequences • Expedites new employee training • Enables advanced resources to be directed to more complex tasks

14. Overview • demo

15. Why DE • DE is the only enterprise-ready driver update/management product in todays technology marketplace • DE offers native SCCM integration • Huge ROI implications • Automatically maintain standardized drivers • Update drivers • Remediate driver errors • Eliminate driver security gaps • Identify and resolve missing drivers

16. Humboldt Case Study • Humboldt pre-dx Driver Process

17. Driver Packaging Process after DX

18. The Advantage • System Center 2012 enables enterprises to incorporate private, hosted, and public cloud computing resources while still satisfying their unique business needs. It organizes existing IT assets (network, storage, compute) into a private cloud that is seamlessly integrated with hosted and public cloud services. • Make your private cloud more efficient by building automated workflows for standard processes such as incident management, problem management, change management, and release management. • Standardize compute, network, and storage resources into a private cloud fabric that is then allocated to business units using Active Directory.

19. Noteworthy 2012 SP1 Changes • SP1 adds full support for Hyper-V 3.0 • SP1 adds support for Windows 8 • SP1 adds support for a number of Windows Server 2012 features • SP1 adds support for CentOS, Debian, and Ubuntu Linux • SP1 adds support for Mac OS X machines

20. The Deployment Process • PXE initiated deployments • Multicast deployments • Bootable Media Deployments • Stand-alone Media Deployments • Pre-staged Media deployments
