Description
The biggest challenge with IT process automation isn’t the technology—it’s the interface with the business and business processes. That challenge is also fundamental to other business and IT initiatives. There’s no doubt that automating tasks is one of the key elements to realizing the benefits of both private and public clouds. This is the primary challenge facing IT professionals in the shift to cloud computing.
System Center 2012 Orchestrator is a Runbook Automation (RBA) tool, also known as an IT Process Automation (ITPA) tool. It’s arguably the most important part of the System Center 2012 suite. While the larger products in the suite such as System Center Operations Manager and System Center Configuration Manager handle the day-to-day IT management tasks, Orchestrator is the glue that transforms the separate applications of the suite to a unified toolset.
Orchestrator is a powerful tool for automating repetitive processes and tasks, as well as communicating with disparate systems and platforms. Orchestrator is the new version of Opalis Integration Server that Microsoft acquired in December 2009.
Learning to use and understand the concepts of Orchestrator could mean the difference between being invaluable or replaceable to the business. Fortunately, becoming comfortable with Orchestrator and creating basic workflows is relatively easy, and Microsoft provides good training materials.
To reap the full range of benefits of Orchestrator, you have to sit down with the full IT department, as well as with other parts of the business. In order to automate, you must first determine which processes to automate. Time-consuming current practices, common IT problems and issues that affect service levels significantly are good contenders for automation.
As a practical example, a user could initiate an Orchestrator runbook by requesting a service in a self-service portal. The runbook would then await approval by IT. Once approved, it would then automatically provision the necessary virtual machines through System Center Virtual Machine Manager, deploy the required software via Configuration Manager, arrange backup through System Center Data Protection Manager and integrate monitoring with a third-party system.
