After nearly one year of working with SCOM 2007 in design and implementation / configuration, i have decided to share my knowledge and perspective about the last SCOM design i have been working on.

In the scenario i am going to explain further, i have been asked to build a Large Enterprise SCOM implementation with redundancy for their IT Operations Team. For that purpose i have made the following infrastructure design below :

In this implementation design i have implemented the following arrangements :

1X : Root Management Server

1X : Management Server

1X : IIS Server with SCOM Web Services ( Web Console )

1X : SQL 2005 with SCOM Reporting Server with Reporting WebServices

2X : SQL 2005 Enterprise 64 bits Cluster with Failover – Passive / Active.

The infrastructure design provides the redundancy and requisites asked in the initial sketch. Also i have divided the access to SCOM Console, the physical console is only available to Administrators and for the IT Operations Team the access is made only through SCOM web console which will offer more mobile easy and comfort for the Team.

I will cover how to create groups and privileges further in another post.

Best Regards,
