  1. Windows Server 2008 Gøran Andersson

  2. Why is Windows Server gaining momentum? Functionality Experience

  3. Windows Server 2008 IIS7 IIS7 IIS7 Virtualization Web Security Hardens the OS and Protects Your Environment Rich, Web based experiences Optimize your Infrastructure Enhanced Scripting and Task Automation Modular and Extensible Platform Integrated Hypervisor Server Consolidation Power Savings Network Access Protection Better Securityand Compliance Tools

  4. Virtualization Scenarios in Hosting • Shared Hosting • Better isolation for websites • Dedicated Hosting • Self managed, delegated virtual instances • Retire old hardware using virtualization • Consolidate low end servers with fewer machines • VPS Hosting • Fill the gap between Shared and Dedicated scenarios • Upsell Memory, CPU • Managed Hosting • Backup and Restore • Business Continuity • Test/Dev Environments

  5. Example – Hyper-V Hosting packages (VPS) • Perfect enabler for both low and high end VDS packages • Bundled with automated backup and disaster recovery • Includes isolation between instances and set resources • No ‘’fair use policy’’ needed • Fills the gap between Shared hosting and Dedicated hosting

  6. System Center VM Manager Host Configuration VM Placement & Deployment VM Creation Library Management Monitoring & Reporting Rapid Recovery Self Service Provisioning UI Automation

  7. Virtual Machine Manager Familiar Interface Host Groups Live Thumbnail VM Views Context Sensitive Actions Centralized Library

  8. Hyper-V in the Press “Microsoft's virtualization has three unique advantages: It costs nothing, its administration is integrated into Microsoft's other server management tools, and Windows Server 2008 is the only host OS it needs to support. In that last case, Windows shops derive a serious performance and scalability kick...” “Hyper-V is free as a built-in feature in Server 2008 Standard and ESX Server costs several thousand dollars per copy, depending on the features purchased, so on a pure bang per buck and ease of use basis, it beats ESX and dare I say it – the Xen solutions built into Linux distros – hands down. • “Yes, jaws actually dropped when it [Hyper-V] was installed in the Test Center.” - ZDNet - Infoworld - CRN “My experience has left me extremely impressed. Windows Server 2008 on large-scale, virtualized enterprise servers will make alternatives a very hard sell.” “Even though Hyper-V is still pre-1.0 code, I think Microsoft has done a bang-up job with its hypervisor, and it may just turn this Linux freak into a Windows 2008 junkie for running his own personal virtualization needs.” - Infoworld - ZDNet

  9. Hyper-V: Licensing Free Licensed Guests with Hyper-V • Windows Server 2008 Web • No Licensed Guest • Windows Server 2008 Standard • 1 Licensed Guest • Windows Server 2008 Enterprise • Up to 4 Licensed Guests • Windows Server 2008 Datacenter • As many Licensed Guests as you can physically run • Small Print • Free = free, as included in the price of the host OS with Hyper-V. • But you can host as many VMs on any Windows Server 2008 that supports Hyper-V as you need. You just need to License above the ‘included’ free licenses.

  10. WSHS Components - IIS 7.0 Major Features ModuleCore Built-in Tracing & Trouble-shooting ExtensibleDesign ImprovedSecurity PHP Interop ASP.NETIntegration New UI & ManagementAPIs

  11. WSHS Components - IIS 7.0 Manager • IIS 7 Manager provides management functions for: • Manage IIS and ASP.NET in one tool. • View health and diagnostic information that includes the ability to view currently running requests in real time. • Configure user and role authorization for sites and applications. • Delegate site and application configuration to non-administrators. • Connect to a Web server, site, or application remotely by using HTTP.

  12. Host PHP • Consolidate servers • Host PHP applications on the same server as ASP, ASP.NET, and other Windows applications • Manage a single environment/fewer servers • Use a single set of tools to manage your servers and applications • Leverage the IIS 7.0 management stack • IIS Manager, Powershell, config APIs • Delegated management and x-copy deployment of server settings • Remote management (including server core)

  13. Application Platform • In the box • HTML • ASP • ASP.NET • Using FastCGI • PHP • Perl • Ruby on Rails

  14. FTP 7 • Integrated publishing • Secure file transfer with FTPS • Improved user isolation • Authenticate to non-Windows accounts • Integrated with the IIS manager • Available on www.iis.net

  15. Windows Server Web 2008 - Pricing Perpetual License; • €11,- SKU • Front end web server • MSSQL and Sharepoint framework • 50 user limit for Apps going away • can still run biz apps & internal collaboration and portal software on same server • New product build • Standard bits w/o code not needed for web serving • no AD/DNS, DHCP Prices shown are for example only SPLA Resellers set SPLA Prices

  16. Windows Server 2008 Early Deployments "cPanel's Windows development team feels that Microsoft IIS7 offers a robust, high-performance Web server with increased security that the industry will quickly adopt.” J. Nick Koston, CEO, cPanel  “Working closely with Microsoft we have been able to learn, and influence the best web server the Microsoft hosting providers has ever seen.” Chris Morrow, Lead Developer, MaximumASP “…we are now able to reduce sites overhead giving us more resources for additional users and a faster ROI. …working with the new AppCmd.exe allowed us to be the first hosting provider to offer Windows 2008 Server with full control center integration.” Jon Thompson, Server Operations Manager, CrystalTech
