The document discusses the challenges facing IT departments and proposes Microsoft's optimization model as a blueprint to overcome these challenges through infrastructure virtualization. It outlines Microsoft's virtualization strategy and capabilities across various workloads. The presentation aims to address common concerns around virtualization and demonstrate how Microsoft's virtualization solutions can help meet goals around costs, availability, manageability and more.

2. Challenges Facing IT
“An economic downturn
exposes execution weakness”
Robert Youngjohns
President, North America Sales & Marketing
Microsoft
• Do more with less
• Green initiatives
• Changing Business Needs
• Mobile Workforce
• Disaster Avoidance
3. A Blueprint To Overcome The Challenges
Microsoft Optimization Model
Capability sequencing framework to
help you build an optimized
infrastructure (not Microsoft-specific)
Grounded in industry analyst
and academic work, consortium
work coming
Provides guidance and best practices
for step-by-step implementation
Drives cost reduction, security
and efficiency gains as well as
enabling agility
4. Core Infrastructure Optimization Model
Basic Standardized Rationalized Dynamic
Managed and Fully automated
consolidated IT management,
Managed IT infrastructure dynamic resource
Uncoordinated,
infrastructure with extensive usage, business-
manual
with limited automation; linked SLAs;
infrastructure
automation and knowledge knowledge capture
knowledge capture captured and use
and reused automated
Cost Center Efficient Cost Center Business Enabler Strategic Asset
Reduce Costs Increase Service Levels Drive Agility

Virtual PC: Windows Server Hyper-V:
• Stored Locally • Stored Locally
• Executed Locally • Executed Locally
• Compatibility • Compatibility
• Test & Demo • Scalable Applications
• Help Desk • Dynamic Organization
9. Microsoft's Virtualization CHOICES
"Virtualization without good management is more dangerous
than not using virtualization in the first place" Thomas Bittman, Gartner

11. What is new with Hyper-V R2
*Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise or Datacenter Editions
15. Hyper-V: Production Scalability
Hyper-V Powering Microsoft Internet Properties
TechNet: 100% Hyper-V
• http://technet.microsoft.com
• ~1 million hits a DAY
MSDN: 100% Hyper-V
• http://msdn.microsoft.com
• ~3 million hits a DAY
Microsoft.com: ~50% Hyper-V and growing
• http://www.microsoft.com
• >1 billion hits a month
18. Interoperability
Interoperability agreements with
Novell, Citrix (Xen), and Red Hat to
support Linux on Hyper-V
SVVP (Server Virtualization Validation
Program) to certify non-Microsoft
Hypervisors for Microsoft Support
System Center Operations Manager
supports monitoring of non-Windows,
including Linux
System Center Virtual Machine
Manager manages VMware ESX
servers
Microsoft released the source code for
Hyper-V drivers under the GPL
24. High Availability Cluster Fail-Over
Host (Physical to Physical)
• VM is the clustered load
• Supports SAN, Fiber, iSCSI
Guest (Virtual to Virtual)
• App is the clustered load
• Supports iSCSI only
Hybrid (Physical to Virtual)
• Potential hardware issues
• Supports iSCSI only

28. Microsoft Virtualization Solutions
“I would like to provide
outside access to
multiple terminal
server and remote
desktop hosts without
opening multiple
ports in the corporate
firewall.”
