Microsoft SoftGrid Application Virtualization* Dynamically streaming software as a centrally managed service Life without traditional software installation Applications to users at log on Centralized permissions Sandboxed applications Runs on Terminal Server Enable Server Consolidation Mitigate Roaming Profile Issues Transform TS into a dynamic system Designed for low bandwidth Runs on local desktop Consolidate & standardize images Build business continuity for applications Applications can be taken offline *SoftGrid Application Virtualization CAL for Terminal Services is available and sold separately from MDOP

  7. Microsoft Application Virtualization Dynamically streaming software as a centrally managed service Microsoft Application Virtualization Platform

  8. Extending Scalability Multiple Delivery Options

  9. Microsoft Application Virtualization Dynamically streaming software as a centrally managed service • Diverse Client Base • Microsoft Application Virtualization supports Windows XP Pro, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2003 and 2008 Terminal Services, and Vista Enterprise Centralized Desktop • Permission Based • User clicks on desktop shortcuts - authentication, authorization and licensing checked every time users launch a virtual application. • Centrally Served • The first time the Server delivers “just enough” code (20-40%) to client or TS machine. As more code is needed, it is dynamically delivered. • Locally Executed • App executes on desktop, laptop and/or Terminal Server, not on the Application Virtualization Server • Cached for Performance • App code is cached for repeat use • Options to cache at login or on first launch • Disconnected Use Support • Entire set of applications are cached for limited time before expiring

  10. Microsoft Application Virtualization Above the kernel virtualization for applications • Applications are virtualized per instance: • Files (incl System Files) • Registry • Fonts • .ini • COM/DCOM objects • Services • Semaphores, Mutexes • Name Spaces • Applications do not get installed or alter the operating system • Yet Tasks process locally on the host computer • Dramatically reduces application conflicts and regression testing

  11. Application Virtualization Solutions and Case Studies Enable Roaming and Free Seating Simplify & Accelerate App and OS Migrations Build Business Continuity for Applications Reduce Application Management Costs Consolidate Terminal Services Servers Consolidate, Standardize and Stabilize Images Reduce App compatibility and Testing Reduce Help Desk Calls

  12. DEMO Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V)

  13. Microsoft Asset Inventory Service Translating software inventory into business intelligence Easily-administered service Scans desktops Checks against central host: 430K titles Assigns intelligent naming to software Simplifies compliance and disaster recovery Application compatibility Software asset management

  14. Asset Inventory Service

  15. AIS Features and Characteristics

  16. MSI ARP Start AIS Architecture Report Web Service Inventory Data Catalog Data Service Researcher Transformation Service Information Web Service Inventory Bucketizer Protocol (HTTPS) Client Inventory Collector XML

  17. Security and Privacy of Data

  18. MicrosoftDiagnostics & Recovery Toolset Powerful tools to accelerate desktop repair Accelerate TCO savings by minimizing recovery time Recover deleted files, manipulate services, devices, passwords, more Recover instead of reloading Windows Make PCs safe to use Accelerates desktop management and responsiveness PC manageability Diagnostics & Help Desk

  19. Powerful tools to accelerate desktop repair Microsoft Diagnostics & Recovery Toolset ERD Commander Tools, Repair Systems, Recover Data, and Diagnose Issues

  20. DEMO Microsoft Diagnostics & Recovery Toolset (DART)

  21. Microsoft Advanced Group Policy Management Enhancing group policy through change management Enable effective group policy change management Role-based administration & templates Flexible delegation model Versioning, history & rollback Accelerate management with granular administrative control Reduce risk of widespread failure PC Manageability Diagnostics & Help Desk

  22. ChangeControl – Control Change

  23. Microsoft System Center Desktop Error Monitoring Proactively manage application and operating system failures Accelerates desktop stability and reduces Windows desktop TCO Agentless crash monitoring Crash/hang data captured and stored in central server Rich SQL DB for data analysis Direct access to troubleshooting and resolution knowledgebase Accelerate desktop management and IT responsiveness Improve desktop stability & end-user productivity Diagnostics & Help Desk PC Manageability

  24. Desktop Error Monitoring Benefits

  25. Desktop Administrators Lack Awareness of End-User Crash LevelsUnreported Incidents Drive Operation and Cost Implications Operational/Cost Implications Productivity losses Potential data loss Root problem not fixed No IT awareness All costs above and … Help desk FTE cost Additional productivity loss in time with helpdesk All costs above and … One-off escalations often low priority Little ability to track problems stemming from system changes (i.e., patch deployment) DesktopCrash! Reboot Most common end-user behavior >90%(1) + Resolve Known error fielded before Call Help Desk Few help desks equipped to resolve <10%(1) + Escalate Desktop Admin likely see <5% of crashes DEM provides awareness and insight!

  26. Microsoft Enterprise Desktop Virtualization Simplifying deployment and management of Virtual PCs Eliminate application to OS compatibility concerns Centrally manage Virtual PCs Apply policy to Virtual PCs Simplify Virtual PC image delivery and update Provision virtual OS on demand Accelerate OS migrations Eliminate Application compatibility concerns Drive Business continuity • Application compatibility • PC manageability • Flexible computing models

  27. VM Image Management Microsoft Enterprise Desktop Virtualization Architecture End Users Management Server Third-party PCs Employee Laptops

  28. Microsoft Enterprise Desktop Virtualization client communicates with server for user settings and policy enforcement Virtualized applications seamlessly integrated into any node in the start menu. Virtualized applications share the desktop with non-virtual applications. Optional colored borders differentiate virtual from non-virtual. 28
