  1. WSV306 Inside Windows Server 2012 Multi-Server Management Capabilities Erin Chapple Partner Group Program Manager Microsoft Corporation Jeffrey Snover Distinguished Engineer Microsoft Corporation

  2. Windows Server has been a great OS for a serverandits devices In the past,

  3. Is a great OS for lots of servers and the devices connecting them whether they are physical or virtual whether they are on-premise or off Windows Server 2012

  4. Standards-based Robust Automation Multi-machine Experience

  5. Standards-Based Management

  6. The N x M Problem IT Pro IT Developer Solution Developer Disk Storage Exchange Devices Managed Objects …

  7. The Solution Maximizing the value of leveraging the windows management framework IT Pro IT Developer Solution Developer WMF Disk Storage Exchange Devices Managed Objects…

  8. The Solution Maximizing the value of leveraging the windows management framework IT Pro IT Developer Solution Developer Standard APIs (MIClient, PowerShell, OData) WMF Standard Protocols (WS-Man, REST, HTTP, PSRP) Standard Models (CIM Schema, SMI-S) Disk Storage Exchange Devices Managed Objects

  9. Standards Based Approach for Windows 2012 WS-Man is the default protocol for management Use SMI-S to manage external storage arrays Allow: • Windows clients to manage non-Windows & standard-compliant devices and services • Non-Windows devices to manage Windows Simplify and lower the cost of: • Instrumenting services and devices for Windows • Exposing any WMI class as a PS cmdlet • Building applications using a REST/ODATA API for management Provide WMF 3.0 on Windows 7, Windows Server 2008, & Windows Server 2008 R2

  19. Multi-machine Management Experience

  20. Cloud Impact on the IT Pro Experience Must support scalability … design matters! • Glance-able • Relevant • Actionable Remote is the default • From the client • Through the browser Consistency reduces cost • Between cmd-line and GUI • Between workloads • Across configurations

  21. Need solutions to managing multiple technologies that span across multiple servers IT Pros

  22. By Technology and by Server, are each important. AggregationandDrilldown
