What Will We Cover?
Why you should be considering virtualization
Why you should be considering Microsoft’s virtualization solutions
Windows 7 Virtualization

VirtualizationBenefit: Reduce the Total Cost of Ownership
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

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

Business Continuity w/Virtualization
Business Continuity
Virtualization reduces BC costs and minimizes business downtime by:
increasing the availability of infrastructure
extending protection to more applications
simplifying backups, recovery and DR testing

What Is Virtualization?
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

Application Virtualization – The Current State
Application virtualization creates software or service isolation on top of the operating system
Available solutions:
Microsoft Application Virtualization
Citrix XenApp Server
Symantec Software Virtualization Solution (SVS) Pro
VMware Thinstall Virtualization Suite
InstallFree Bridge

Server Virtualization – The Current State
Server virtualization enables you to run multiple virtual machines on one physical server
Available Solutions:
Citrix XenServer, XenExpress, XenEnterprise, XenDesktop
Microsoft Windows Server Hyper-V, Windows Virtual PC on Windows 7
VMware Server, Workstation, Virtual Infrastructure, Virtual Desktop Infrastructure

Agenda
Microsoft’s virtualization vision

Full WMI scripting model

Hyper-V in Windows 2008 R2
Live Migration
Virtual storage hot add & remove
Cluster Shared Volume (CSV)
Second Level Address Translation
Core parking
TCP Offloading, VMQ Support & Jumbo Frame support

Live Migration
moving running VM's from one host to another without interruption of services running inside the VM's
works best together with System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008

Windows Server 2008 R2Native VHD integration and Boot from VHD
Native VHD
Provides complete operating system support and integration for VHD’s
Standard Disk Management Tools Support VHD’s
Win32 API’s for Creation and Management of VHD’s
DCOM Remotable API’s
Boot From VHD
Ability to boot physical hardware from a VHD
Multiple Virtual Hard Disk Types
Fixed Disk, Dynamic Disks and Differencing
Parent of a differencing disk can a fixed, dynamic, or differencing disk (differencing chain)
Build a Single VHD for Physical or Virtual!

Windows Server 2008 R2Hot add of storage
Add and remove storage to a running VM without requiring a reboot
Hot-add/remove VHD’s or Passthrough disks
Hot-add/remove only allowed on Virtual SCSI connected disks
Hot-add remove of storage controllers is not supported
Provides ability to move data without networking
To Guest: Create a new VHD, mount VHD, copy data into VHD, hot add VHD to VM
From Guest: Create a new VHD, hot add VHD to VM, copy data into VHD, remove VHD

Windows 7 Virtual XP
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.

Session Summary
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
