System Center Orchestrator

System Center Orchestrator 2012 Beta empowers IT Pros to easily develop Runbooks for the System Center suite that interoperate with 3rd party systems to automate data center workloads. System Center Orchestrator 2012 Beta empowers IT Pros to easily develop Runbooks for Microsoft System Center that interoperate with 3rd party systems to automate data center workloads. Runbooks are created and tested in the Runbook Designer, a rich drag-and-drop style user interface optimized for use by IT Pros. These Runbooks bring Microsoft System Center products and 3rd party systems together to automate data center workloads through the use of a unique and powerful Publish/Subscribe mechanism. Once created these Runbooks are deployed to distributed Runbook Servers where they can be managed using the Orchestration Console, a rich Microsoft Silverlight application that allows the IT Pro to identify Runbook issues, start and stop runbooks and explore the runtime environment.
