  1. Selecting the Right Virtualization Technology Infrastructure Planning and Design Series

  2. What Is Infrastructure Planning & Design? Guidance that aims to clarify and streamline the planning and design process for Microsoft® infrastructure technologies IPD…in 50 pages: • Defines decision flow • Describes decisions to be made • Relates decisions and options for the business • Frames additional questions for business understanding • Replaces Windows Server System™ Reference Architecture (WSSRA) Download the IPD Guides at www.microsoft.com/ipd

  3. Getting Started Selecting the Right Virtualization technology

  4. Why Use Virtualization? • Scenarios driving virtualization: • Server consolidation – lower datacenter costs • Application migration • Increased IT agility – reduced deployment and provisioning time • Software development and training

  5. Purpose and Overview • Purpose • To assist in the decision process regarding which technology to use to meet business and technical requirements • Agenda • Determine a virtualization technology • Locate the IPD guide to use to plan and design the infrastructure for the technology

  6. Virtualization Types • Server Hardware Virtualization • Server Software Virtualization • Presentation Virtualization • Application Virtualization • Desktop Virtualization

  7. Microsoft Virtualization Technologies

  8. Decision Flow • Walk through the scenario for each application • Arrive at a decision • Repeat for each scenario

  9. Determine Whether Virtualization Is Appropriate • Areas to consider when determining if virtualization is appropriate include • Compatibility • Supportability • Licensing • Business benefits

  10. Categorize the Application: Server or Client • Is the application designed to run on: • A server operating system? • Proceed to “Select Server Hardware Virtualization or Software Virtualization” • A client operating system? • Proceed to “Determine Client Connectivity” Click this button to proceed Click this button to proceed Back to previous decision

  11. Select Server Hardware Virtualization or Software Virtualization • Use the table below to select between: • Windows Server 2008 virtualization • Virtual Server 2005 R2 SP1 Return to the start to process the next application Back to previous decision

  12. Determine Client Connectivity • Option 1: Connected Client • Client computers that will have reliable network connections • Client computers that will not need to run the application when disconnected from the network • Proceed to: “Determine Application Location” • Option 2: Disconnected Client • Client computers that will run the application while disconnected from the network • Proceed to: “Choose Application or Desktop Virtualization” Click this button to proceed Click this button to proceed Back to previous decision

  13. Determine Application Location • Option 1: Centralized Application • The application can be run and managed on a server • Tight control is required, and application resources are in a central location • Easier to deploy and manage • If the application will be run centralized, proceed to “Select Desktop or Presentation Virtualization” • Option 2: Decentralized Application • The application cannot run on a server • Individualized configurations are required by different users • Access to local resources is required • If the application will be run decentralized, proceed to “Choose Application or Desktop Virtualization” Click this button, to proceed Click this button, to proceed Back to previous decision

  14. Select Desktop or Presentation Virtualization • Option 1: Desktop Virtualization • The entire desktop must be virtualized, both the operating system and the applications • The operating system is Windows Vista • Use Vista Enterprise Centralized Desktops (VECD) • Option 2: Presentation Virtualization • One or more applications must be virtualized • The applications can support multiple users • Use Windows Server 2008 Terminal Services Return to the start, to process the next application Back to previous decision

  15. Choose Application or Desktop Virtualization • Option 1: Application Virtualization • One or more applications must be virtualized • The client’s operating system supports the application • Use Microsoft SoftGrid Application Virtualization • Option 2: Desktop Virtualization • The entire desktop must be virtualized, both the operating system and the applications • The client operating system is Windows XP or Windows Vista • Use Virtual PC Return to the start, to process the next application Back to decision : Determine Client Connectivity Back to decision : Determine Application Location

  16. Summary and Conclusion • Microsoft provides a family of virtualization solutions • Select which solution is most appropriate for each application • Application location • User characteristics • Management requirements • Characteristics of the application • Provide feedback to satfdbk@microsoft.com
