Module Strategy
If you did not teach Module 1, “Introducing Windows 2000
Datacenter Server” in course 2089A, Planninga Windows 2000 Datacenter
Server Environment, be sure to define the difference between Microsoft
Windows
® 2000 Datacenter Server and the datacenterenvironment during the
Overview slide before you teach this module.
Use the following strategy to present this module:
Identifying the DataCenterEnvironment
This topic provides an opportunity to introduce how adatacenter
environment is more than just the technology. Explain how adatacenter
environment is a conglomeration of components that include people,
processes, technology, and facilities. The slide in this section introduces the
concept of the datacenterenvironment as a whole. The slides that follow
detail each of the four components of the datacenter environment.
Identifying People Considerations
This topic provides an opportunity to identify the people considerations that
have an impact on planning for adatacenterenvironment The staff that
works directly with the systems, as well as the organization’s culture, can
significantly affect the availability and reliability of adatacenter
environment. Reinforce this topic by encouraging stories from your
participants about how people issues prevented or caused system problems.
This could include a discussion about effective and ineffective
communication.
Identifying DataCenter Processes
This topic provides an opportunity to identify the process considerations
that have an impact on planning for a highly reliable and available data
center environment. The most prevalent cause of unplanned downtime is
when system changes are made without careful planning and deliberate
justification. Implementing effective processes can eliminate these concerns.
Discuss process issues such as analysis, change management,
documentation, and security. Reinforce this topic by inviting participants to
share effective processes that they use. You may want to also provide
handouts showing samples of how these processes are used in real-world
situations.
Identifying Technology Considerations
This topic provides an opportunity to identify the technology considerations
that have an impact on planning for a highly reliable and available data
center environment. Focus on the relationship between system components.
Discuss the importance of knowing how applications will function on the
server as well as with the operating system and other applications.
Identifying Facility Considerations
This topic provides an opportunity to identify the facility considerations that
have an impact on planning for a highly reliable and available datacenter
environment. Discuss issues such as the physical manageability of the
facility, the physical impediments to availability, and the physical security
of the location. Reinforce this topic by encouraging students to tell stories
about how facility issues caused system problems such as unplanned
downtime. Discuss how these problems can be prevented with planning.

Microsoft Operations Framework: People, Process, and Technology
This topic provides a brief introduction to Microsoft Operations Framework
(MOF). Briefly discuss the MOF process model and team model. For more
information about Microsoft Operations Framework, refer students to the
white papers on the Student Materials compact disc.
Lab A: PlanningaDataCenterEnvironment
This lab gives students an opportunity to apply the planning considerations
that were identified throughout Module 2. Arrange students in small teams
and have them review a scenario that involves facilities, processes, people,
and technology. Each team identifies the point of failure in one or more of
these areas and then discusses how they could have prevented it.
Customization Information
Make sure that the students meet the following prerequisites before they are
taught this module. Students need to be able to:
Differentiate between Windows 2000 Datacenter Server and adatacenter
environment.
Discuss components of Microsoft Windows Datacenter Program.

*****************************I
LLEGAL FOR NON-TRAINER USE*****************************
Microsoft
® Windows® 2000 Datacenter Server is one of the many components
of adatacenter environment. It is important to consider the entire datacenter
when creating a highly available and reliable environment; implementing adata
center environment is different from implementing other environments, such as
server rooms or desktop computing infrastructures.
This module identifies the components that make up the datacenter
environment, and discusses how each component significantly contributes to
the whole.
This module then briefly introduces Microsoft Operations Framework and
provides technical guidance for achieving mission-critical production system
reliability, availability, supportability, and manageability on Microsoft products
and technologies.
After completing this module, you will be able to:
Identify the datacenter environment.
Identify people considerations for managing adatacenter environment.
Identify process considerations for managing adatacenter environment.
Identify technology considerations for adatacenter environment.
Identify facility considerations for adatacenter environment.
Describe Microsoft Operations Framework concepts and how they apply to
a datacenter environment.
Topic Objective
To provide an overview of
the module topics and
objectives.
Lead-in
In this module, you will learn
about components that
make up the datacenter
environment and discuss
how each component
contributes to the
environment.

*****************************I
LLEGAL FOR NON-TRAINER USE*****************************
A datacenter is a computing facility and a set of management processes that
maintain mission-critical requirements in your organization. It is not simply a
server or group of servers providing an extremely high level of availability.
Rather, adatacenter must be treated as a conglomeration of components joined
together in a whole. Adata center’s components do not include just technology
but also people, processes, and facilities. Even if you install the most reliable
technology, you can only obtain the highest level of reliability that the
technology has to offer if you have the right team of people correctly managing
a carefully designed process.
The components of adatacenterenvironment include:
Management, operations, and support staff, as well as a corporate culture
that manages the datacenterenvironment as a whole.
Clearly defined processes that detail security, analysis, change management
and documentation.
Technology that emphasizes quality hardware and software, standardized
configuration, and testing.
Manageable, available, and secure facilities.
Topic Objective
To identify the datacenter
environment.
Lead-in
A datacenter is a computing
facility and management
processes that maintain
mission-critical requirements
in your organization.
This slide provides an
opportunity to introduce how
a datacenterenvironment is
more than just the
technology. For adata
center environment to be
successful, the students
must also put equal
attention on people,
processes, and facilities.
Each of the items in the
bulleted list will be covered
in detail throughout the
module.
Module2:PlanningaDataCenterEnvironment 3
Identifying People Considerations
Management, Operations, and Support Staff
Corporate Culture
*****************************I
LLEGAL FOR NON-TRAINER USE*****************************
The importance of people extends beyond those working directly with the data
center. The culture of the organization must also support adatacenter that
provides high availability and reliability.
Management, Operations, and Support Staff
The people who manage and operate the datacenter must understand the
processes and technology and must be dedicated to preserving the integrity of
the data center. Personnel must be highly trained, disciplined, and dedicated to
the special concerns of the data center, and it is important that the organization
ensures that datacenter staff has redundant skills.
Corporate Culture
Even if your datacenter has the highest quality technology, people, and
processes, the entire operation will not work unless your organization has adata
center culture. A company that has adatacenter culture treats the datacenter as
more than just a collection of individual parts under the name of data center.
It is important to manage the datacenter as a whole. Consider the impact of
decisions on all parts of the data center. Avoid focusing exclusively on
technical concerns by also considering impacts to the people, processes, and
facility.
The datacenter culture is not limited to the staff of the data center, but must be
a commitment to availability that goes all the way to the executive support
level. After a process has been accepted and engaged, an executive who
requests that something be added to the datacenter cannot circumvent it.
Executive commitment ensures the integrity of the processes and provides the
stability required to achieve the goals of the data center.
Topic Objective
To identify the human
resource considerations for
the data center.
Lead-in
The importance of people
extends beyond those
working directly with the
data center.

*****************************I
LLEGAL FOR NON-TRAINER USE*****************************
The most prevalent cause of unplanned downtime is that someone makes an
untested change to a server and that change causes an issue. To maintain high
availability in the data center, all changes must be strictly controlled. And the
best way to control changes is by implementing unchangeable processes that
describe every aspect of the data center. Processes need to be strictly enforced,
difficult to change, and fully justified. Just as a modification to any business
process requires justification, so does modification to the data center.
In the data center, changes must be implemented with caution. Improvements
are good, but they must be fully justified changes. For example, if you change
the list of people who are allowed entry to the facility or change the air
conditioner in the data center, there must be a business justification. If you add
or reconfigure servers in the data center, there must be a business justification.
After the datacenter processes have been established, everyone must adhere to
them. The people in the data center, some of whom may be responsible for the
processes, are still bound by those processes. A legitimate alteration should be
submitted according to established process, evaluated, and justified. Only then
can it be a candidate for implementation.
Topic Objective
To identify the process
considerations in the data
center.

unplanned downtime is that
