In this webcast we look at Windows Intune with Config Manager, XP migration planning and issues, and Cloud Integrated Storage using Windows Azure and StorSimple.
Human Factors of XR: Using Human Factors to Design XR Systems
Manage XP Migration, Mobiles & Cloud Storage
1. Be Smart & Stay Lean
Dealing with XP Migration, managing mobiles and cloud storage
2. Leaving XP Behind – For Good
The Challenges, Opportunities & Tools Available to Enable Your Vision
3. The End of XP Support
•Support ends on April 8, 2014
•The cost of support afterwards (approx):
• Sign up to Premier support $60k+
• Enrol in XP support = $60k+
• Hot fixes will cost $50k+ per fix.
4. Leaving XP Behind - the Challenges
Many 32 Bit applications that need migration will need
to run in an emulation mode on a 64 Bit platform
App testing and Vendor information requires research
Short term financial and organisational effort required
Previous failed attempts or assessment make process
seem burdensome
Potential large investment in application compatibility
assessment
Perception of very large percentage or manual
intervention required
Program of work and default actions for incompatible
applications needs to be developed
5. Leaving XP Behind - the Options
Side-by-side migration
• Move user data from one computer to
another OR
• Move user data from one partition to
another
Wipe-and-load migration
• Windows 8.1 Upgrade Assistant
• Export user data to an external storage
device
• Clean install
• Import user data
Inventory of systems and
applications central to success
Choose an over-all strategy
User state data – temporary
storage required and
rationalisation before
migration is wise
6. Leaving XP Behind – Vision and Strategy
Secure automated
environments now fully
possible, making business
and technical investment
more straight forward to
implement
Consultation with
Technical and Business
stake holders essential
SCCM expertise required
for best business value in
time saving and
consistency
Entire toolset and add-ons
available in SCCM 2012 R2
Manual intervention
should be needed in less
than 5% of the fleet
7. Leaving XP Behind - with the SCCM R2 Toolset
SCCM R2 - the toolset to enable the vision
SCCM Inventory Hardware readiness
User data storage estimates for migration
Automated applications inventory for upgrade testing
ADK (Windows® Assessment and Deployment Kit) Application compatibility, user state migration, licensing
activation and management
Development of UAT migrations with full or partial
automation now possible
9. Challenges in Managing Business Fleets
•Workers in many locations
•Non-domain joined desktops
•Workers “offline” for extended periods
•Compromised security on remote PCs
•Multiple configurations, versions
•Lack of insight into PCs & inventory
•Infrastructure investments required
10. Intune Manages & Secures PCs & Devices
Simple Web-based Administration
Console and a friendly IW experience
Computers can be managed from the office, branch office, or on the road
IT and partners can work from virtually anywhere
11. Intune In Motion
Complement to SCCM
Extends desktop management to
last remaining unmanaged desktops
such as remote users, non-domain
joined PCs or home computers
Cloud Service
Quick deployment for satellite offices, new
acquisitions, or for organizations with limited
server infrastructure and IT resources
For Windows Enterprise
Subscription model for latest Windows
Enterprise edition
14. Retire Phase
Retire
All data is deleted, sets
device back to
manufacturer defaults.
Wipe
Deletes the device permanently from
the hierarchy so that it no longer be
managed. No data is removed from
the device.
center
Delete
Removes the device from
Config Manager while
leaving personal settings
and data intact.
Block
Blocks the client from
communicating with the
hierarchy. You can also
unblock.

17. The Data Storage Challenge
• Much company data is inactive.
• Tier 1 applications tend to keep data active
for much longer than Tier 2 applications.
• Inactive data takes up 70% or more of the
total storage capacity.
18. Cloud-integrated storage CiS
Combines on-premises SAN storage
with the ability to store, access and
manage data in cloud storage services
Integrates SAN storage and cloud data
management on a highly-available
platform
CiS systems streamline data protection
processes such as backup and DR
One of the storage applications for CiS is
using cloud storage as a tier to store
inactive data
19. CiS - Freeing up Space

20. Better DR with CiS
CiS systems reduce the
cost of disaster recovery
A single CiS system can
be a spare for other sites
CiS systems restore data
from the public cloud
using an approach called
thin restores – which are
much faster than
physical or virtual tape
recovery processes
