43. Web Based Ordering and Management

44. Web Based Ordering and Management * If only using SCVMM, manual deployment and no dynamic monitoring (PRO Tips) not considered DDT platform  Virtual Platform

45. Web Based Ordering and Management The customer can choose a pre defined spec of VDS.RAM, Hard disk, number of vCPU’s, OS and any additions like frameworks (.NET, PHP), SQL, control panel, back-up.Upon ordering, the customer puts in their credit card details, this goes through billing system to be credit checked and verified before kicking of an automated build of the VM.3 options:Build guest with SCVMM hardware template, PXE boot ‘zero touch’ install from SCCM (approx 40mins).Either through SCVMM hardware templates, sysprep’d VHD for defined OS (approx 10mins). Rapid Deployment (WS2008-R2 only) (approx 2mins).

46. Web Based Ordering and Management The customer can choose the custom spec of their VDS.The same as the previous example with template options. Slightly more configuration and scripting required. Added value to customer at point of purchase.Cannot use pre-set SCVMM templates for the VM hardware properties, the values must be taken from the ordering web site and fed into PowerShell scripts or .NET code interacting directly with Hyper-V through WMI.After the VM has been created the 3 same options are available for deployment of the OS.

47. Web Based Ordering and Management Quota Points (Chunks of compute resource)The customer can purchase amounts of unspecified compute resource, which allow them to juggle their resources to suite their own need.Could be numbers of vCPU, vNIC, GB of RAM etcAfter ordering through web/phone the customer is emailed a username and login to access their bought resource through a self service portal. This allows them to deploy varying levels of VM and modify their current estate. *Requires a self service portal to manage the bought resource.*Potentially use the SCVMM self service portal if domain joined.

48. Web Based Ordering and Management • DDT as foundation for managed applications.Use benefits of a highly available, scalable platform as the selling point for the monitored, patched and managed services which sit on top, eg. From SQL or DNS servers to Dedicated SharePoint or Exchange servers.Private Hosted CloudFull DDT implementation on dedicated private hardware accessed by single customer.They may access by remote SCVMM administrator console or custom web portal to control their VM estate. The Dynamic Datacenter Toolkit has enabled us to build a suite of next generationhosting services, providing our customers with an infrastructure that offers themgreater levels of business agility. - James Griffin, Head of Hosting Strategy, Star UK

49. Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V Delivers high levels of availability for production workloads via flexible and dynamic management while reducing overall costs through efficient server consolidation via: • Better flexibility • Live Migration • Cluster Shared Volumes • Hot Add/remove of Storage • Improved performance • Improved memory management • TCP Offload support • Virtual Machine Queue (VMQ) Support • Improved Networking • Greater Scalability • At least 32 logical processor support • Enhance Green IT with Core Parking • For more information: www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2008/en/us/hyperv-r2.aspx
