9. By using improved Hyper-V™ technology and Remote Desktop Services, Continental expects to increase system uptime, implement new services in minutes instead of weeks, and save up to U.S.$1.5 million a year in hardware, software, labor, implementation, and related operational costs • -Continental Airlines Customer Evidence • “In our environment, a single physical server running Windows Server 2008 and the original Hyper-V can support about 10 to 15 of our standard workloads. Windows Server 2008 R2 with the improved Hyper-V can support more than 30. From a fixed capital asset perspective alone, that’s a savings of $60,000 to $80,000 per Hyper-V server.” • -Continental Airlines

22. Better Together

23. Remote Access for Mobile Workers Make Users Productive Anywhere Situation Today DirectAccess™ Office Home Office Home • New network paradigm enables same experience inside & outside the office • Seamless access to network resources increases productivity of mobile users • Infrastructure investments also make it easy to service mobile PCs and distribute updates and polices • Difficult for users to access corporate resources from outside the office • Challenging for IT to manage, update, patch mobile PCs while disconnected from company network WSR2/ W7 Solution

24. Branch Office Network PerformanceMake Users Productive Anywhere Situation Today BranchCache™ • Application and data access over WAN is slow in branch offices • Slow connections hurt user productivity • Improving network performance is expensive and difficult to implement • Caches content downloaded from file and Web servers • Users in the branch can quickly open files stored in the cache • Frees up network bandwidth for other uses RSR2/W7 Solution

25. “Taking advantage of the BranchCache feature in Windows Server 2008 R2, we can spend $20,000 rather than $50,000 per year on bandwidth by postponing our expansion schedule.” • -Sporton Customer Evidence • Using the BranchCache™ features in Windows Server® 2008 R2 and Windows 7, CCO has simplified remote connection to its network and speed the downloading of important files. It has cut costs by eliminating its virtual private network and has seen a 43 percent savings in wide area network (WAN) bandwidth. • -Convergent Computing

26. Summary • Increased server consolidation • Greater administrative control • Rich Web-based experiences • Performance and scalability enhancements • Unprecedented synergies with client OS • Anywhere access
