Answer to Question 1:
Part A
SCOM stands for Microsoft system center operation manager can be defined as collection
of system management products (Greene, 2016). It helps in managing various end to end
products and services which are related to IT infrastructure in an enterprise. IT infrastructure
tends to play a key role in business continuity of a given enterprise (Mohammed, 2015). SCOM
aims to provide various kind of important information related to computer health, anti-virus
software and lastly issues related to it. It is considered to be useful in various large enterprise
which comes up with complex and big IT infrastructure. Large enterprise focuses on deployment
of large and complex and SCOM is very beneficial in this case (Bannan, 2016). In large
organization it is not possible to keep a track of each and every single computing sources. So in
this particular scenario SCOM can be beneficial for monitoring a large number of computing
resources. Microsoft system center comes up with sub-unit which is known to be a management
group (Strazdinsy et al., 2017). It comes up with certain number of units like management server,
operational database, database of warehouse and lastly reporting server. Management server is
mainly responsible for proper kind of configuration of the given management group,
communication and lastly administration of agents and database (Ibrahim et al., 2016). A
management group comes up with various kind of server which totally depends on various kind
of server management. It totally depends on size of computing environment. The agents are
needed for collecting data which totally depends on size of computing environment. The agents
are mainly involved in collecting the data and sending proper kind of alert.
A basic SCOM installation comes up with various kind of components (Ellis, 2015). A
management server is needed for handling some essential administration and connecting it with

4CONFIGURATION AND DEPLOYMENT OF CLOUD INFRASTRUCTURE
database (Ibrahim et al., 2016). Operational database aims to provide SQL with proper and
current kind of reporting. Data warehouse aims in holding SQL data which is being provided at
the time of long-time holding (Rădulescu, 2014). A report server mainly needs queries the given
database and can easily provide various kind of detail related to delivery to different
administrators. IT department can easily install these particular components which are there on
one server and various server required for scalability.
In system center operation manager, various kind of user can easily make use of method
which is needed to assign the proper kind of rights to an individual (Tradat et al., 2017). It is
mainly done for accessing monitoring of data and carrying out large number of actions. Roles of
users are designed in such a way they can be easily used for accessing and carrying out large
number of activities on the same given group. Operation manager administrator comes up with
proper right which can be used for viewing and monitoring of data in proper way. Roles of users
are created by making use of role wizard (Krstevski, 2014). In this wizard, an individual need to
configure the active directory security group which is assigned by making use of roles. It can be
used for making use groups which are needed for monitoring groups for monitoring the access of
user and specific task. Dashboard and views are required for understanding the roles in each and
given access (Liu, Wang & Ma, 2014).
Part B
An operation manager is well-known enterprise platform for monitoring which is
required for monitoring various kind of infrastructure and workload (Meena, Singh & Bharadi,
2016). User is generally aligned to access and monitor data within the given operation. So
various kind of issues of escalation can easily support for tier or development of application
which is revenant to their given role (Parven & Maimani, 2014). Role-based security aims in

creating a platform which can easily limit the privilege which the user can have on various aspect
of operation manager.
Answer to Question 2:
Part A
In System center operation manager, an agent can be easily stated like service which is
generally installed on system (Dong et al., 2015). It mainly aims in configuration of given data
and collection of information which is needed for analysis. It is required for understanding
various kind of objects like SQL based database or any kind of logical disk. It ultimately helps in
measuring the state of monitoring objects like SQL database or any kind of logical disk. It
ultimately helps in executing various kind of demands which are put forward by operation in the
given response to condition (Zhuang et al., 2015). It ultimately helps the operation manager to
monitor various operating system like windows, Linux and lastly Unix. Various components of
IT service are mainly installed on web or controller of active directory. The operation manager
agents are listed as Microsoft monitoring agent-based service (Ramakrishnan & Kaur, 2017).
Microsoft agent service aims in collecting and execution of task and other kinds of workflow in
the given management of pack. In many cases it is seen that service is unable to establish
communication with the management server. Then the given service may tend to run and collect
queues which are required for collection of data. It emphasizes certain number of events which is
totally based monitoring of given computer (Ramakrishnan & Kaur, 2017). When the total
connection is restored then Microsoft agent service agent can easily set collected data to the

used for installing agents in client system. The methods are
 Discovery Wizard
 Group policy
 Discovery of schedule
 SCCM deployment
 Scheduled discoveries
 Operations manager command shell
Discovery wizard is considered to be one of the best methods of administration to deploy
any agents which are required like asset in SCOM infrastructure (Li et al., 2015). Discovery
wizards can easily broadcast the subnet for finding some of the best ways in which device agents
are installed easily. It can easily provide the option where various device can easily push the
SCOM agent out of RPC (Goyal, 2014). An individual can easily put the agent out PC by
making use of industry standard software deployment by the help of group policy. By making
use of group policy machines cannot be automatically being approved (Kuijs et al., 2015). An
individual need to add them through manual way until and unless the user has Auto-approve new
kind of manual agents.
Part C
Installation of service manager console on operation manager does not require to be
supported (Farokhi et al., 2016). If anyhow it is installed, then operation manager SDK service is
stopped totally. When a service manager management server and data warehouse then an

7CONFIGURATION AND DEPLOYMENT OF CLOUD INFRASTRUCTURE
individual need to have management group. Operation manager is supported by service manager
for establishing connection with other agents. Operation manager does not support any kind of
data source integration (Lu et al., 2015). An individual need to have register data source in the
warehouse which is according to system center version. Service manager is mainly inclusive of
operation manager agent. This particular agent is installed at the time of service manager. After
installation, the user should configure the agent for establishing communication with operation
manager management server (Mason et al., 2015).
Answer to Question 3:
SCOM stands for Microsoft System Center Operation manager is considered to be a part
of Microsoft system center (Niu et al., 2015). It is considered to be a part of enterprise of

monitoring of various services and devices. SCOM makes use of various agents which are
installed on each and every system which is required for checking the level of performance. It
helps in retrieving data by various management server (Zhang et al., 2014). Application-based
management packs aim in providing certain number of rules for collection of data. It aims in
reporting some particular kind of application. Management packs allow various SCOM which is
required for managing and proper monitoring of application which is outside the given tool. Both
monitoring and management can be considered to be complex for any kind of manual handling
process. It makes use of certain number of packs which can be used for automating the overall
auditing process (Clemente-Castelló et al.,2017).
Microsoft aims to provide certain number of management packs which allow SCOM that
is required for managing and monitoring of various application (Huang & Du, 2014). The
application can be both inside and outside which is needed for direct control. Proper kind of

8CONFIGURATION AND DEPLOYMENT OF CLOUD INFRASTRUCTURE
monitoring and management which is very much complex for handle in manual way (Dobre,
Viotti & Vukolić, 2014). Third parties also aim to providing SCOM management packs. For
some particular system an individual can have agent of the various kind of device. SCOM aims
in providing proper kind of monitoring for the various kind of machine by making use of proxy
agent which tends to run on another kind of given system (Pluzhnik, Nikulchev & Payain, 2014).
There are large number of alternatives for SCOM alternatives
Nagios: It is considered to be an open source server program for monitoring which is
considered to be very similar to SCOM (Pluzhnik & Nikulchev, 2014). Both the given programs
come with agent-based monitoring which is needed for providing support for Windows and

Hybrid cloud can be stated as an environment of cloud computing which makes use of
on-premises, private cloud and lastly third party based application. Public cloud makes use of
two kinds of platform (Ramakrishnan & Kaur, 2017). It can be achieved by moving into private
and public cloud domain which emphasize computing needs and various changes in cost. Hybrid

14CONFIGURATION AND DEPLOYMENT OF CLOUD INFRASTRUCTURE
cloud provides business with much greater amount of flexibility and larger number of option for
deployment.
Hybrid cloud architecture mainly comes up with following availability like
 A public IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) platform like Amazon web services,
Google cloud platform
 The construction can be done on private cloud which can be either be on premises
or can be even worked with the help of hosted service provider
 An adequate Wide area connectivity is needed for establishing connection
between the two environments.
Hybrid cloud is very much beneficial as it enables a given enterprise for deployment of
on-premises private based cloud(Goyal, 2014). It aims to work for some sensitive or any kind
critical workloads. It is needed for providing some of the third party application which aims to
provide to host fewer application resources. Hybrid cloud is needed for providing some of the
valuable information which is considered to be dynamic or changing the whole the workloads
(Kuijs et al., 2015). A transaction is known to be valuable for various order entry system which
can encounter large number of strikes around the holiday session. Application can easily run on
hybrid cloud platform, but apart from this it can make use of cloud bursting which is required for
having computer additional kind of resources. It can easily emphasize on public cloud when it
looks up for cloud service which is required for proper kind of demand.
The second kind of hybrid cloud is the given use case of processing of big data. Let us
consider the example of organization which makes use of hybrid cloud for retaining accumulated
business (Farokhi et al., 2016). It can then make use of some of the analytical quires in the given

15CONFIGURATION AND DEPLOYMENT OF CLOUD INFRASTRUCTURE
cloud platform which can be used for scaling a Hadoop or other kind of cloud-based cluster. It
mainly requires a proper kind of cluster support which is needed for providing distributing of
various task related to computing. Apart from all this, hybrid cloud provides the enterprise with
some broader mix of various IT services (Lu et al., 2015). A business can easily run on the
mission of critical workload with the given private cloud.
Part B
In the environment of cloud computing, various kind of problems related to it can be
tackled easily (Mason et al., 2015). A huge capital expenditure is not required for modeling some
new kind of service. By the help of hybrid cloud technology, various organization is there in
private cloud along with retaining the ability to increase the workload and carrying out a range of
task (Niu et al., 2015). The last thing is all about making use of spikes for the usage of public
cloud. Hybrid cloud comes up with large number of benefits like cost-effective for organization
as they need to pay for public cloud portion or part.
Hybrid cloud comes up with large number of disadvantages for various organization like:
 Although this particular technology is cost saving the initial cost of deployment for
hybrid cloud is much more in comparison to initial setup cost which is incurred in the
matter of public cloud domain (Zhang et al., 2014).
 Hybrid cloud is needed for providing security. Apart from all this, there are some
necessary steps which are required to be taken for improving the security of data
(Clemente-Castelló et al.,2017). Most of organization does not provide preference for
storing data at both off-site locations. It will ultimately make the hybrid cloud much more
inaccessible.

Effective identifying and providing management control: Proper management of
credential is considered to be important for achieving control and providing protection of data. It
aims in providing support for sign on and allows various kind of credentials to be easily shared
on the cloud and another kind of internal resources (Huang & Du, 2014). By managing some of
credential, there are few aspects which need to be taken into account.
Protecting API: Cloud technology aims to run on certain number of API which gives
application on various server (Dobre, Viotti & Vukolić, 2014). The fact should be taken into
account a proper kind of protection should be there for gaining some of the authorized access
along with proper kind of encryption. It mainly highlights the fact that various credential is
secured in a proper way.
Answer to Question 11:
Cloud bursting can be stated as a quality of service metric which is required for
understanding cloud solution scalability. It helps in measuring some of the software application
and its capability (Pluzhnik, Nikulchev & Payain, 2014). It deals with performance which is
totally based on various kind of cloud-based application capability which are there on hosted
cloud platform.
Various kind of cloud-based application and service vendors aim to provide benchmark
performance ratio (Pluzhnik & Nikulchev, 2014). It is all about leasing the infrastructure and
along leased infrastructure and maximizing the application hosting. In many instances it can be
seen like a well-balanced design. In many cases it is required for providing well-balanced design

17CONFIGURATION AND DEPLOYMENT OF CLOUD INFRASTRUCTURE
which is scalable, flexible and reliable kind of architecture. It is stated like well design, scalable,
flexible which comes up reliable architecture. It can easily handle various kind of network-based
traffic and requirement of computer (Shyshkina, 2018). It comes up with a poor kind of
architecture which aims in altering various kind subject hungry based application.
Cloudburst is mainly of two types that are positive or negative in nature. It ultimately
helps in defining a proper kind of cloud infrastructure which is required for handling the given
traffic and various kind of computing services (Pham et al., 2015). A positive kind of cloudburst
can be stated like a cloud-based application or any kind of application platform. It mainly used
for performing efficiently and managing cloud-based application (Srinivasan, Quadir &
Vijayakumar, 2015). While negative kind of cloudburst can be easily referred to as cloud-based
application or infrastructure which is required for managing the resources in effective way.
