characteristics of computing resources
from the way in which other systems,
applications, or end users interact with
those resources”

User interface
Desktop Virtualization
Execution occurs on the
server
No application client
deployment: just UI is
displayed on the client (RDP)
Multiple isolated users per
server
Excellent for:
Branch Office
High Volume data
applications
Centralized desktop
management
Application Virtualization
Execution occurs on the client
Application still needs
deployment to client
Multiple isolated applications
per client
Excellent for:
Reducing test matrix
Concurrently running multiple
versions of the same
application
Reducing application
management
Central Location
Centralized Application Access
App Deployment
Branch Office
Remote Access
Compliance & Security
Enabling Technologies in Longhorn
TS Remote Programs
TS Gateway

TS ‘out of the box’ solution in
“Longhorn” designed for
low complexity scenarios.

Most software is not designed to operate in a utility model
State is “mixed-in”
Reconfiguration is costly
More and more software leads to unreliable desktops and
massive test matrix
Application Virtualization enables software to be managed
independently and transformed without the need for
source code

Isolated Virtual
Application Model
Applications are virtualized per
instance:
Files (including System Files)
Registry
Fonts
.ini
COM/DCOM objects
Services
Semafores, Mutexes
Name spaces
Applications do not get installed
or alter the operating system
Yet tasks process locally on the
host computer.
Wizard-based tool, virtualizes
applications without changing
source code
Records an application’s
configurations and dependencies
then segments application code into
a file
Sequencer file is placed onto one or
more SoftGrid servers for ondemand deployment
E.g. sequence Office in less than 15
mins, Word executes with 15Mb

Microsoft SoftGrid 4.1 for Windows Desktops
• Available as a component of Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack for SA
• Select, Open, EA Licensing
• Does not include SoftGrid CAL for Terminal Services
SoftGrid Application Virtualization for Terminal Services

•
Available in same channels as Terminal Services CAL
SoftGrid for Terminal Services licensed as CAL
Terminal Services CAL still required
Does not include SoftGrid for Desktops
• Can be used in conjunction with SoftGrid for Desktops; both share infrastructure)
Physical resource optimization
Simple identification of consolidation candidates
Fast and reliable Physical to Virtual migration (P2V)
Uses Volume Shadow Services
Intelligent placement
Placement is at the crux of maximizing the utilization of
physical assets
Centralized resource optimization
Optimizing workloads for:
Maximum number of virtual machines per servers
Maximum dispersion across multiple servers
Rapid provisioning of new workloads
Central library
Self-service provisioning
Industry standard storage architecture
Employs distributed storage architecture on industry
standard hardware and network infrastructure to use
resources with optimal locality

Virtual Server 2005 R2 – Shipping today
Released Q4 2004
Well received in the industry
Used for production server consolidation
Remote management of virtual machine
operations
Great perf gains and functionality enhancement
in SP1
64-bit host support, PXE support, and others
Windows Server codename Longhorn will have integrated
virtualization support
