4. Defining Virtualization “Virtualization is an approach to deploying computing resources that isolates different layers – hardware, software, data, networks, storage – from each other.” Bob Muglia Microsoft President, Server and Tools

5. What is Virtualization? Virtualization is the isolation of one computing resource from the others: Virtual Applications Any application on any computer on-demand Applications installed to Specific hardware and OS Virtual Presentation Presentation layer separate from process Interface bound to process Operating System assigned to specific hardware Virtual Machine OS can be assigned to any desktop or server Storage assigned to specific locations Virtual Storage Storage and backup over the network Network assigned to specific locations Virtual Network Localizing dispersed resources Traditional software stack Component isolation with Virtualization Virtualization results in more efficientresource utilization, and enables greater flexibility and simplified change management

6. Many Types of Virtualization • Server • Application • Desktop • Presentation • Profile

7. Server Virtualization • Consolidate workloads for more efficient resource utilization • Reduce operating costs (Hardware, Energy, Space) • Improve uptime and availability • Enable robust Disaster Recovery • Reduce maintenance disruption • Streamline resource provisioning and scale

8. Application Virtualization • Decouple applications from desktop operating systems, deliver on demand • Reduce application-to-application conflicts • Reduce application compatibility regression testing • Centrally manage updates and patches

9. Microsoft Virtualization Solutions

10. Hyper-V: Architecture • Micro-kernelized or Type I hypervisor • Simple partitioning functionality • Increase reliability and minimize TCB • No third-party code • Drivers run within guests • Monolithic or Type II hypervisor • Simpler than a modern kernel, but still complex • Contains its own drivers model Operating System Operating System GuestOS GuestOS Application Application App App Application Application App Application Application Type II Hypervisor Application Host Operating System Type I Hypervisor Hardware Hardware

11. Hyper-V 2.0 • Building on the rock-solid architecture of Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V; part of Windows Server 2008 R2 • Integration with new technologies and products • Enabling new dynamic scenarios: • Increased Server Consolidation • Dynamic Data Center • Virtualized Centralized Desktop

12. Hyper-V: Advantages • Better Performance • Type I Hypervisor means less overhead: • Better Performance • Better Scalability • Better Driver Support • Drivers run in guests not on the host • Increased Stability • Increased Reach • Greater Hosting Systems Options • Better Support • End to End Support and Peace-of-Mind • Better Licensing • Least expensive virtualization solution • Included Guest Licensing • Data Center Edition is the best overall value • But all Editions of Windows Server 2008 with Hyper-V provide great value

13. Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) Application Virtualization Multiple Delivery options including Dynamic Streaming Policy Based application management Standalone Mode Microsoft Application Virtualization Platform

14. Increasing Preference for Microsoft Virtualization Industry Survey 2008 Published by Virtualization.info, 1/2009 What hardware virtualization platform do you implement? (multiple choice)?

15. Threats to Virtualization Susccess • Inadequate Virtualization Management Dangers: • Virtual Server Sprawl • Non-Scalable Administration • Patching and Provisioning Nightmare • Business Continuity “Virtualization without good management is more dangerous than not using virtualization in the first place.” Thomas Bittman, Analyst, Gartner

16. Virtualization and Business Continuity Before Virtualizing Servers After Virtualizing Servers Number of applications per server Number of physical servers Number of apps down on storage failure Data lost on dual-disk failure Backup data volume Meeting backup window Disaster recovery Provisioning 1 10+ 1 1x 1x Feasible Costly/complex Slow/complex 10+ 1 10+ 10x 10x Maybe not More complex Storage ≠ servers

19. What About Storage? Example with NetApp® Consolidation Solution Application Data SharePoint® Servers Index Server FC iSCSI NetApp Fabric-Attached Storage (FAS) System SQL Server • Increase utilization, reduce costs • Simplify data management • Increase data availability Search Server 19

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

21. Full Integration with Volume Shadow Copy Familiar Approach to Backups Backup VMs and Virtualized Applications with the ease of backing up static Files. Lowers overall TCO Focus on your backup needs – not on learning new backup techniques and idiosyncrasies. Helps create dynamic IT Take a pro-active approach to backups. System Center Data Protection Manager

22. Virtualization Backup\Recovery with DPM • DPM does not require a SAN to snap and remount VHDs elsewhere - it can use DAS, or any other locally mounted disk, on the Host, as well as the DPM server. • DPM does not require 3rd party backup software, even after the VHD is secured - its a complete solution on its own • You can run DPM 2007 SP1 on the Hyper-V host itself, providing a self-contained solution. • DPM does not leave the VM dormant during the entire backup -- if it has to hibernate the VM, it brings it down, snaps it, and brings it right back up again. But for most Windows guests, it can protect with no downtime at all! • And because DPM can replicate from one DPM server to another (DPM-2-DPM-4-DR), you can easily replicate your VHDs off-site to i365

25. RDR: Virtualization Benefits • Lower cost for DR infrastructure • Anywhere, anytime access to recovery platform • Effective management of secured data • More scalable solution • Generally more powerful than internal and dedicated technical architecture. • Customer: • Removes the need to procure HW and infrastructure • Fewer barriers to entry • Accelerated speed-to-deploy • On-demand, subscription based use of RDR facility • No need to install, deploy, and support the infrastructure “Through 2013, 30% of enterprises adopting cloud-based services will base their choices on provider’s capability to reliably deliver and provide access to their data in the cloud.* * Gartner

26. RDR Virtualization Benefits • i365 RDR uses the latest in Virtualization technology • Hardware failure and overload: • Using Hyper-V and HA solution in a VM cluster prevents machines from getting overloaded. • In the event of hardware failure the machines simply Hyper-V to other servers in cluster. • Best of bread technology: • Using Microsoft Hyper-V and Seagate HDD’s ie (EMC, NetApp, IBM, HP, Dell) • Speed of deployment • Using Hyper-V templates allows i365 RDR to recreate multiple customers’ environments in minutes vs. hours with physical machines.
