Transcript Growing Your Microsoft Virtualization Practice

Server 2008 & Virtualization
Systems can’t scale quickly
Slow response to dynamic
needs at the data center
Can’t meet SLAs
Costs are too high
Providing business
continuity for operating
systems and applications
Expensive space across the
data center or branch
offices
Downtime is affecting
server availability
Excessive power and energy
consumption; unfriendly to
the environment
Application
incompatibilities
Lengthy server testing
Server underutilization
Typical server workloads often consume
only 5-10 percent of total server capacity
Application-specific servers
(server silos)
Virtualization is the isolation of one computing resource from the others:
Virtual Presentation
Presentation layer separate from process
Presentation and process on
same computer
Virtual Applications
Any application on any computer on-demand
Applications installed to OS
Operating system installed
to hardware
VS
Virtual Machine
OS can be assigned to any desktop or server
Data resides on local computer
Network assigned to
specific location
Virtual Data
Data resides on the network
Virtual Network
Localizing dispersed resources
Virtualization results in more efficient resource utilization and enables
greater flexibility and simplified change management

Consolidate workloads
for more efficient
resource utilization
Create an additional
isolated OS environment
on a standard desktop
Decouple applications
from desktop operating
systems and deliver on
demand
Centralize processing
and data storage;
present the user
interface locally

“Yes, jaws actually dropped when it
[Hyper-V] was installed in the Test
Center.”

“Even though Hyper-V is still pre1.0 code, I think Microsoft has
done a bang-up job with its
hypervisor, and it may just turn this
Linux freak into a Windows 2008
junkie.”

“Microsoft's virtualization has
three unique advantages: It
costs nothing, its
administration is integrated
into Microsoft's other server
management tools, and
Windows Server 2008 is the
only host OS it needs to
support.”
“Windows Server 2008
will change the way
people look at
virtualization.”
