Scenario
145k PC Company82 locationsRunning Config Manager 2007
- 82 primary site servers (plus central)- 0 secondary site servers- 100 distribution points
Some satellite office with no DP roles

Scenario - Challenges
• Poor WAN links make distribution difficult• Cost of server hardware and software• Administration of the environment (DPs)

Additional Dell Challenges
• CIO Goal to reduce infrastructure footprint• Desire to remove infrastructure from remote offices, and consolidate to 3
major datacenters• Reduced budget made a challenge for replacing all 110 servers.

What Nomad is
Nomad is a highly robust and proven enhancement to ConfigMgr that simplifies the hierarchy, reduces administration and keeps infrastructure costs to a minimum.

Removing Servers, Sharing Content

Shopping request Users go to Shopping portal and request software
ConfigMgr & Shopping Shopping tells clients immediately to check ConfigMgr for updated policy
ConfigMgr Policy: Install Microsoft Visio
1E NomadMaster Election occurs. Most appropriate always chosene.g. Uptime, Local Package Availability, Performance, etc.
ConfigMgr with Nomad™
Data center
Office location
Master download content from DP over WAN
Master shares content with peers over local network

Server reduction: the Nomad™ effect

Without Nomad Native design requires more servers and Distribution Points

With NomadSimplified hierarchy supporting the same number of client devices.
This enables ConfigMgr to be configured using an Internet-centric model, therefore enabling the ConfigMgr servers to only be located in the data-centres.
1E Nomad – Reverse QoSTM
Rule #1 – Never impact the user, computer, network or business• Determines the best system to pull data across the WAN – No
administrative effort
• Deterministic, statistical algorithm to calculate free bandwidth irrespective of hops• Failsafe content transfer over low bandwidth/high latency WAN links• Adaptive bandwidth throttling system to protect business data• Uses reliable and proven protocols for packet delivery, flow control, and
congestion avoidance

Nomad OSD IntegrationCustom SCCM console and backend Task Sequence integration to automate the Operating System Deployment process• Apply conditional logic to content management to only transfer data in the OSD process when it’s necessary –
the best way to save bandwidth is never to use it in the first place• Intelligent detection of version changes or content location across the WAN, peer systems or peer subnets and
locations within the OSD process
Peer Backup Assistant• Backup user data to peer systems during PC replace or rebuild scenarios• No more servers require• Radically reduces risk of migration
PXE Everywhere• “Bare metal“ rebuild without server or deskside visit• Any machine can rebuild any other

• Eliminate servers • Increase resilience
• Reduce networking dependencies
• Flatten and remove complexity with Single Site Download
Single Site Download

• Content downloaded once and distributed fastest way possible
• Reverse QoS™ uses network’s spare capacity without impacting business

What makes Nomad Enterprise different?
Organic “Reverse QoSTM” system that adjusts to the business needs• Reverse QoS doesn’t just look at a piece of the network hand has no hardware
prerequisites
Complete System Center integration – No additional admin consoles• Flexible API set to integrate with your organization
Set and forget – No “sites” to manage, workflows or training• Dynamic failover capabilities
Data only goes where needed – Nomad doesn’t “scatter” data everywhere and waste space or create security/ audit concerns

What (else) makes Nomad Enterprise different?
Multicast, FanOut or SSD capabilities for maximum network efficiency• The most options available for ConfigMgr to dynamically shape and control your
network infrastructure
Lightweight• No system level drivers causing extra management overhead or risk• No dependencies on Java
Highly advanced OSD facilities leading to significantly reduced migration costs• ConfigMgr UI Wizards and automation• Peer backup of USMT data• WinPE operation for data restore• PXE Everywhere to fully automate the bare metal process

ConfigMgr and Nomad better together
Complete System Center integration
IT data doesn’t compete with business data• Business data flows allowing users to work without IT data becoming a bottleneck• V5 offers the most optimized method of sending data to systems no matter where they are
geographically located or network limitations
Fewer servers, less costs
Win7/8 Migration costs further reduced• Advanced automation of OSD processes, user data backup/ restore and dynamic PXE
Admin overhead reduced• Advantages of dynamic election and failover capabilities

Scenario - Challenges
• Poor WAN links make distribution difficult• Cost of server hardware and software • Administration of the environment (DPs) • Different deployment and rebuild strategies depending on where
the clients are • Planning Windows 8 deployment – don’t want to repeat manual
effort required for Windows 7
