7. Module 1 Evaluating the Environment for Virtualization

8. Module Overview • Overview of Microsoft Virtualization Overview of System Center 2012 R2 Components Evaluating the Current Environment for Virtualization Extending Virtualization to the Cloud

9. Lesson 1: Overview of Microsoft Virtualization • Challenges of Traditional Computing Environments What Is Server Virtualization? What Is Network Virtualization? Key Technologies

10. Challenges of Traditional Computing Environments • Traditional challenges: • Space - Housing business equipment • Power - Providing affordable power to run the server, storage and network equipment • Cooling- Maintaining safe operating temperatures for equipment • Resilience - Building robust and highly available solutions and offering a means to recover data • Flexibility – Providing the time to deliver or upgrade infrastructure and or applications • Resources – Maintaining staff-to-system ratios and meeting training challenges

11. What Is Server Virtualization? • Server virtualization: • You can create and run multiple computer operating systems on a single physical computer • Host servers share resources with all the virtual machines • Virtualization challenges: • Limited number of compute resources • Server virtualization features: • Hyper-V server virtualization feature allow full utilization of physical resource and provide advanced technology to make a more robust, available and dynamic server computing environment.
