Transcript Microsoft’s Virtualization Strategy

Importance to Academic Institutions
Get more out of server hardware
Improve service reliability
Reduce operating expenses
Control workstation costs
Introduce better access to applications/data
Without sacrificing security
Integrated approach across all solutions rather than a
single set of product offerings.
Hyper-V is a component of Windows
Virtualization is first-class across Server Management Suite
One size does not fit all
Private/public cloud is reality today
Features for today’s requirements. Extensibility for
tomorrow’s challenges.
Flexibility in choosing hardware

“Having one vendor for the
hypervisor, operating system,
and much of our application
software was very appealing
to us from a support and cost
perspective.”

A Microsoft First: Submission of GPLv2 Open-Source
Code to the Linux Kernel Maintainers – July 21, 2009
“For IT shops seeking to reduce server sprawl, opportunities
to consolidate both Windows and Linux applications on single
hosts, while minimizing performance degradation, become
more feasible. The enlightenment driver code and the
emerging announcement of Hyper-V Live Migration in
October 2009 will sway more users in hybrid environments to
consider Windows as a virtualization strategy vis a vis
VMware or Linux, helping Microsoft to advance its
virtualization agenda.”
