  4. Enhanced Performance • Windows 8.1 – better than Windows 7 Faster boot times Newer Windows 8 certified PCs can boot up to 36% faster. Better battery life Users upgrading Windows 8 certified scan experience up to 13% longer battery life. Advanced security Windows 8 is 21 times less likely to be infected by malware than Windows XP, and 7 time less likely than Windows 7. Better overall performance Windows 8 uses fewer system resources, resulting in up to 22% less memory usage than Windows 7. Familiar desktop The desktop you're used to is still here and better than ever Longer Battery Life Less Memory Usage Faster Boot 13% 22% 36% Security Familiar Desktop

  12. Why Software Assurance?

  13. Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack Virtualize Restore • Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) • Virtually any application, anywhere • Microsoft Diagnostics and Recovery Toolset (DaRT) • Restore user productivity quickly • Microsoft User Experience Virtualization(UE-V) • Change your device, keep your experience  • Microsoft Enterprise Desktop Virtualization (MED-V) • Enable your Windows XP-based apps on Windows 7 Manage • Microsoft BitLocker Administration and Monitoring (MBAM) • Simplified BitLocker management • Microsoft Advanced Group Policy Management (AGPM) • Checkpoint your policy rollout, minimize downtime

  14. Windows 8.1 Enterprise Enterprise Sideloading Start Screen Control Windows To Go DirectAccess BranchCache Virtual Desktop Infrastructure AppLocker • Deploy Windows 8 apps from outside of the Windows Store • Control Start screen configurations for different groups and roles using Group Policy • Create a corporate Windows 8.1 environment on a USB stick • Connected to corporate networks, seamlessly and more securely • Users in the branch office can download documents and apps faster • Improved end-user experience • Specify what software is allowed to run on a user's PCs

  15. DirectAccess • Productivity • Transparent direct connection to corporate resources – no user interaction is required • Windows 8.1 / Windows Server 2012 R2 do not require: • Two consecutive public IPv4 addresses (DirectAccess servers can be deployed behind NAT device) • IPv6 deployed within internal corporate network (integrated NAT64 / DNS64) • PKI (certificates) deployed at the domain-joined computers (can employ Kerberos Proxy functionality) • Consider “computer-only” scenario • Windows 8.1 Devices with TPM chip can benefit from Virtual Smart Cards • Support for “Metered Internet Connections”

  16. Windows To Go • Productivity • Windows 8.1 on Certified USB drive • USB 3.0, capable of 2 partitions at least (“Basic Disk”) • Supports various scenarios • VPN replacement, Vendors, BYOD, … • Secured with encryption (BitLocker) • Connected via VPN or DirectAccess • Managed by Group Policies, SCCM, Windows Intune • Applications can be installed or loaded via App-V

  17. BranchCache • Productivity • Enables documents caching within subnets interconnected over unreliable WAN • Centralized / Distributed modes • Centralized mode requires Windows Server OS deployed on the local subnet • Centralized mode is configurable for Cache Preloading • GPO / Self-configuration of branch office computers • Support for SMB, HTTP, FTP

  18. Virtual Desktop Infrastructure • Productivity • Software Assurance includes VDA license • Windows Server Remote Desktop Services scenarios: • Session based (Full desktop / RemoteApps) • Virtual Machine based (Personal Desktop / Desktop Pool) • Requires only HTTP(S) / RDP • Enables BYOD / Contingent staff / VPN replacement scenarios • RDP client with RemoteFX

  19. App-V (MDOP) • Productivity • Enables virtualization of applications • Applications run within App-V agent as if locally installed • Ability to run different versions of the same software • Includes all components for various scenarios • From standalone deployment to full infrastructure (integrated with SCCM) • Ability to load and cache / pre-cache software to the client • Windows To Go / VDI (Desktop Pool) • Ability to track and manage license usage
