Microsoft SharePoint would not automatically spring to mind when talking about service templates in a private cloud. With its sheer amount of out-of-the-box features and services and the complex and extendable infrastructure, each installation has its own deployment routine. This makes creating a standardized service template seem like a daunting process. In this session we show you how with Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager and some PowerShell, you can create SharePoint service templates for the private cloud. (Speaker(s): Adam Hall; Michael Frank)
Microsoft System Center 2012 introduces a new service-centric model of organizing your datacenter, including the ability to create portable images of your applications.
