  9. Topology: OpsMgr 2007 vs OpsMgr 2012 OpsMgr 2007 R2 Platform OpsMgr 2012 Platform Parent child topology with the RMS as the parent and all other mgmt servers as children A simpler peer to peer topology

  10. Topology: The Achilles heel of Opsmgr 2007 = RMS • Root Management Server • Provides the following services • Console access • Role based access control • Distribution of configurations to agents • Connectors to other mgmt systems • Alert notifications • Health aggregation • Group Calculations • Availability • Dependency Monitor • DB Grooming • Enables model based mgmt • Introduces the following customer challenges • Performance and scalability bottleneck • Single point of failure (for RMS workloads) • High availability requires clustering

  11. Topology: High Availability options in Opsmgr 2007 for RMS Promotion Clustering • Provides flexibility • DR recovery • Requires manual steps • Solves single-point of failure • Complex to setup • Difficult to patch \ upgrade

  12. Topology: Single point of failure addressed Challenges Addressed • Out of the box HA • Easy to scale out Operational Database Data Warehouse Dependency Monitors Availability Notification Group Calculation X Resource Pool
