1. Microsoft Server Consolidation: Services, Solutions… Experience!Microsoft Technology CenterThomas Hsu

2. What is Server Consolidation? Centralized management of business-critical systems and applications Consolidation of applications onto fewer, highly-available servers Standardization of platforms and processes Optimization of human and physical resources Consolidation of servers into one geographical location

3. Resources Risk Cost Increasing Headcount Reqs Server Sprawl Underutilized Servers Poor Management & Processes Business/IT Shared “Pain” Consolidation Security Management

4. Reduce Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) Reduce server real estate Replace older servers Corporate restructure Operating system upgrades or migration Application upgrades or standardization High-availability applications New central e-mail standard Use of servers for enterprise applications Network redesign Combine excess capacity across disparate servers Mergers & acquisitions Increasing scalability demands Business Drivers for Server Consolidation

5. DB Consolidation - Results

6. Types of Server Consolidation • Logical • Centralize management of business-critical systems and applications • Homogeneous • Combining a single application which resides on multiple servers onto one server • Heterogeneous • Combining multiple applications from different servers onto ones server • Geographic • Moving servers into one geographical location

10. Moving Forward Customer Stories Madrid Stock Exchange • Consolidation onto Windows 2000 Servers reduced annual TCO by 33% • No downtime in seven months of use, with 99.999% availability • Increased exchange trading capacity by 3X • Project paybackin 2 years with 31% IRR • “The scalability, performance, and data management improvements in Windows 2000 Datacenter Server enabled us to operate the first seven months of SIBE-Gate with zero downtime and provided the capacity to host three times more trade order transactions." • - Agustin Ramos, Systems Technology Manager, Bolsa de Madrid

11. Moving Forward Customer Stories City of Hamburg, Germany Reduced systems management staffing needs by 80% Centralized IT operations of 13 different government agencies using Windows Server, Exchange, and SQL Increased productivity by enabling cross-departmental collaboration • “The standardisation of our IT and communications infrastructure makes it easy to integrate old systems and implement new ones. We now are building up e-government solution after e-government solution." • - Matthias Hammer, head of Administration and Central Services, City of Hamburg

12. What is Server Virtualization? Addresses four business needs: The need to support older applications. The need to consolidate older applications. Test environment Training environment What Microsoft provides in Virtualization Virtual Server Virtual PC Virtualization is not a silver bullet for consolidating servers.

13. Benefits of Virtualization Technology Production Server Consolidation • Reduce TCO by maximizing hardware utilization and consolidating workloads Business Continuity Management • Help reduce scheduled and unscheduled downtime Dynamic Datacenter • Leverage the benefits of virtualization to create a more agile infrastructure Test and Development • Maximize test hardware, reducing costs, improving lifecycle management and improving test coverage

14. Self-Managing Dynamic Systems • Traditional systems live within boundaries • Applications have fixed dedicated resources • Results in need for more responsive infrastructure • Wasted capacity • Virtual systems break down some of these boundaries • Virtualization allows for better resource utilization • Dynamic systems go further • Resources are intelligently (policy) & flexibly assigned as needs change Applications/ Services Dynamic Services System Definition Model Dynamic Platform Servers Windows hypervisor Dynamic Storage Storage Enterprise Storage Management

15. Microsoft tools/templates • Comprehensive TCO analysis tool (CIOView) • Assessment guides/Solution accelerators • Project planning, functional specification, risk analysis and design guide templates • Data Collection form • VMware, HP ProLiant, Microsoft File Server Migration Toolkit, Migration checking…

17. Why consolidate on Windows 2003 Server? • Virtual Server to partition server and give fine grained control of hardware • WSRM to track process accounting • WSRM to divide resources across Virtual Server partitions • Virtual Server scales to 2 processors • Virtual Server to handle 64 bit OS - early 06
