System Center Orchestrator
System Center Orchestrator 2012 provides process automation, enabling you to build a cost-effective and flexible private cloud infrastructure. System Center Orchestrator 2012:
-
Optimizes existing datacenter investments by integrating, extending, and interoperating with heterogeneous tools and systems.
-
Helps you deliver flexible and reliable datacenter services by orchestrating process workflows across multidisciplinary process silos.
-
Lowers costs and improves predictability by automating your private cloud scenarios to reduce error-prone.
Like many companies today, yours may be looking to evolve your datacenter environments to a private cloud computing model so you can realize the associated agility and economic benefits. At the same time, you want to continue to deliver reliable datacenter services while still maintaining tight control of corporate resources.
Process automation is essential to meeting these objectives, and the flexible automation platform of System Center Orchestrator 2012 can help. It can facilitate simplification and standardization of your datacenter processes thereby increasing potential returns from adopting a private cloud computing model.

System Center Orchestrator 2012 helps you unlock a greater return on your existing investments through integration packs and interoperability.
Integration Packs
-
Integration Packs provide pre-built, reusable activities to help you deliver integrated management. In addition to rich integration packs for other System Center components, Orchestrator 2012 offers out-of-the-box interoperability with management toolsets from HP, IBM, EMC, BMC, CA, and VMware.
Deliver flexible and reliable datacenter services with orchestrated workflows
Accelerate your time to value with flexible process workflows
To help you quickly realize the value from process automation, System Center Orchestrator 2012 provides a number of built-in foundational workflow objects and easy-to-use authoring and testing interfaces to help you build rich and complex run books for your private cloud requirements.
Improve service reliability across multiple IT tools, systems, and department silos
For private cloud environments, you will need core capabilities such as provisioning and processes such as incident/change management that crosses organizational boundaries. System Center Orchestrator 2012 can orchestrate workflows across such disconnected silos and multi-disciplinary processes to help you deliver reliable datacenter services.
Lower costs and improve predictability through automation
Enable IT resources to focus on work that adds more business value
System Center Orchestrator 2012 triggers automated run book execution using a sophisticated data bus capability that drives information exchange between run book activities (as they execute). By automating repetitive high-volume tasks, System Center Orchestrator 2012 saves your staff valuable time, freeing them for higher impact tasks while lowering your operational costs.
Improve process predictability by reducing error-prone manual activities
System Center Orchestrator 2012 enhances your private cloud readiness by organizing datacenter processes for predictable automated execution and reducing the latency and errors that manual approaches introduce.
