Why you should be considering virtualization Why you should be considering Microsoft’s virtualization solutions Windows 7 Virtualization ecastro@mswindowscr.org

Microsoft virtualization reduces the TCO by: Server consolidation Presentation and application virtualization Desktop and application virtualization Providing a single management platform for managing virtual and physical machines ecastro@mswindowscr.org

Business Continuity Resumption of full operations combining People, Processes and Platforms Disaster Recovery Site-level crisis , data and IT operations resumption Backup and Restore High Availability Presumes infrastructure is whole Presumes that the rest of the 97% is file/small unit related environment is active ecastro@mswindowscr.org

Business Continuity Virtualization reduces BC costs and High Availability minimizes business downtime by: Disaster Recovery • increasing the availability of infrastructure • extending protection to more applications Backup and • simplifying backups, recovery and DR testing Recovery Disaster Recovery Clustering VHD Primary Site Secondary Site Shared Storage Quick/Live Migration Storage Storage Array Backup/Recovery Array Backup/Recov Backup/Recovery ery ecastro@mswindowscr.org

Virtual Presentation – the presentation of an application or operating system interface is separated from where the application or operating system runs Virtual Profiles – User data and settings are separated from a specific operating system Virtual Applications – Applications are available on any computer at any time Virtual Machines – Operating systems can be assigned to any desktop or server Virtual Storage – Logical storage usage is abstracted from the physical storage Virtual Network - Network layer is abstracted from the physical infrastructure ecastro@mswindowscr.org

Windows XP Mode for Windows 7 makes it easy to install and run many of your Windows XP productivity applications directly from a Windows 7-based PC. It utilizes virtualization technology such as Windows Virtual PC to provide a Virtual Windows XP environment for Windows 7. Windows XP Mode provides a 32-bit Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3 (SP3) environment pre-loaded on a virtual hard disk. Client virtualization software, like Windows Virtual PC is a pre-requisite to use Windows XP Mode. ecastro@mswindowscr.org

Virtualization is one of the key components in develop a cost and energy efficient and agile IT infrastructure Virtualization can take many different forms from the individual applications running on a desktop to the data center Microsoft provides virtualization products that enable you to deploy virtualization in each of the key virtualization scenarios ecastro@mswindowscr.org
