Virtualization is the isolation of one computing resource from the others:
Virtual Applications
Applications installed to
Specific hardware and OS
Any application on any computer on-demand
Virtual Presentation
Interface bound to process
Presentation layer separate from process
Operating System assigned
to specific hardware
Virtual Machine
OS can be assigned to any desktop or server
Storage assigned to specific
locations
Virtual Storage
Storage and backup over the network
Network assigned to specific
locations
Virtual Network
Localizing dispersed resources
Traditional software stack
Component isolation with Virtualization
Virtualization results in more efficient resource
utilization, and enables greater flexibility and
simplified change management
Server Virtualization
Desktop Virtualization
Application Virtualization
Presentation Virtualization
Consolidate workloads for
more efficient resource
utilization
Create an additional isolated
OS environment on standard
desktop
Decouple applications from
desktop operating systems,
deliver on demand
Centralize processing and
data storage; present the user
interface locally
• Reduce operating costs
(Hardware, Energy, Space)
• Improve uptime and
availability
• Enable robust Disaster
Recovery
• Reduce maintenance
disruption
• Streamline resource
provisioning and scale
• Support legacy applications
in current Operating
Systems
• Reduce application-to-OS
conflicts
• Accelerate OS migration
• Reduce application-toapplication conflicts
• Reduce application
compatibility regression
testing
• Centrally manage updates
and patches
• Reduce application-to-OS
conflicts
• Streamline compliance and
data confidentiality
• Reduce desktop
administration costs
A comprehensive set of virtualization products, from the data center to desktop assets –
both virtual and physical – are managed from a single platform

…System Center provides the tools for integrated
Infrastructure Management
"Virtualization without good management is more dangerous
than not using virtualization in the first place" Thomas Bittman, Gartner
Hardware Consolidation
• Increase utilization by running multiple applications on single physical server
• Reduce power and real estate costs
Business Continuity and Rapid Recovery
• Manage and reduce planned or unplanned downtime
• Quickly recover an entire system after data loss or corruption
Dev/Test Environments
• Simplify and streamline movement from test to production
• Consolidate dev/test H/W and improve lab server provisioning
Dynamic Data Center
• Optimize use of available resources
• Scale Up / Scale Out
A new System Center product which
provides management of virtualized
environments
Manage Virtual Server - V1
Manage Windows Server Virtualization – R2
Feature set includes centralized:
Host Configuration

end users to create and use
their own VMs
• Administrators can control

Host Perspective:
Virtualization is a new
server workload, but
with similar monitoring
needs to existing
workloads.
The Virtual Machine is
a component of the
virtualization stack.

Server Virtualization Management Pack for Operations Manager
2007 provides the following:
Discovery and monitoring of all Virtual Server and Virtual Machine
Manager Components
Alerts on job and component status changes
Reports for managing, maintaining and optimizing a virtualized
environment
Virtualization environment diagram view
Reports in the Server Virtualization Management
Pack leverage the data available from the Operations
Manager Data Warehouse.
The reports are directly accessible from within the
VMM Administrator’s Console

Virtual Machine Allocation
Virtual Machine Utilization

Host Utilization Growth
Abstraction of an application and its
dependencies from the host Operating System
Applications execute within a virtual
environment
Reduces risk of unwanted Application and
Operating System interaction
Remove cross-application conflicts
Major benefits during all phases of the
application lifecycle
Management
Delivery
Launch
Sequencer
• Virtualizes
applications
SoftGrid Server
• Delivers
applications
SoftGrid Client
• Runs Applications
Wizard-based tool
Rapidly virtualizes applications
No change to source code
Allows for one or more
applications/dependencies into a
single, portable data file (SFT)
.SFT file is placed onto one or
more SoftGrid Servers
On-demand deployment to
desktops, laptops, Terminal
Servers or virtual machines
• SoftGrid Management
Web Service
MMC based Console
.Net interface
• Assign applications via
Active Directory or SMS
• License control of all
virtual applications
• Remote Assistance
Remote connect to the
SoftGrid client on PC
• Active Upgrades
No down time deployments
• Permission Based
User authentication, authorization
and licensing are checked on
every launch
• Centrally Served
“Just enough” code delivery to the
client (10-30%)
• Locally Executed
All run locally
• Cached for Performance
App code is cached for repeat use
– even without a network
• Disconnected Use Support
Applications are cached for limited
time before expiring
Application Virtualization
• Applications are
virtualized per instance:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Files (incl System Files)
Registry
Fonts
.ini
COM/DCOM objects
Services
Name Spaces
Semafores, Mutexes
• Applications do not get
installed or alter the
operating system
• Yet tasks process locally
on the host computer.

Multiple Delivery Methods
Virtual applications can be delivered in the right
way for the particular situation
“Dynamic” – streamed delivery where only the necessary
portions of the virtualized applications are deployed in realtime
“Push” delivery where virtualized applications are turned
into SMS packages and deployed using standard SMS
“push” methods

Virtual applications are able to be tracked by
SMS asset management discovery and metering
systems
SMS reports include both virtualized and installed
applications
Virtualized
applications
are managed
through the
SMS
Management
Console
Virtual
applications
are pushed
from SMS
server and/or
streamed ondemand from
the SoftGrid
Server
When target clients are
inventoried by SMS, the
virtual applications appear
in the reports
