In-Depth Information
You can configure Service Manager to trigger Orchestrator runbooks and publish this to
the Service Manager Self-Service Portal as a service offering. For example, you could create
an Orchestrator runbook that places a designated SQL Server database hosted in the private
cloud into protection using Data Protection Manager. You could use Service Manager to
publish this runbook automation as a service offering on the Self-Service Portal. Users could
then use the Self-Service Portal to interact with the service offering, putting their SQL Server
workload into protection without having to directly interact with Orchestrator or Data Protec-
tion Manager.

Data Protection Manager
Data Protection Manager (DPM) is Microsoft's backup and recovery solution. You use Data
Protection Manager to provide protection for your private cloud workloads. In addition to
providing protection for physically deployed workloads, DPM supports backup and recovery
of virtual machines running on Hyper-V virtualization hosts. This can take the form of fully
recovering a VM to the original or a different Hyper-V host, or allows for item level recovery
of elements within the protected VM. You can use DPM to perform the following tasks:
■
Perform bare metal recovery of protected Windows servers and desktops.
■
Back up and recover from disk, tape, or Microsoft Azure.
■
Manage multiple DPM servers from a single console.
Configuration Manager
Configuration Manager provides you with the ability to manage the configuration of comput-
ers and devices, including virtual machines deployed in a private cloud. You can use Configu-
ration Manager to:
■
Deploy operating systems, software applications, software,updates, and operating
system updates.
■
Monitor and correct operating system and application compliance settings.
■
Collect hardware and software inventory.
■
Perform remote administration.
