Rich pivots over files from multiple locationsLibraries

• Caches content downloaded from file and Web servers

• Users in the branch can quickly open files stored in the cache

• Frees up network bandwidth for other uses

• Application and data access over WAN is slow in branch offices

• Slow connections hurt user productivity

• Improving network performance is expensive and difficult to implement

Situation Today

BranchCache

Branch Office Network Performance

• Recommended for larger branches• Cache stored centrally: can use

existing server in the branch• Cache availability is high• Enables branch-wide caching

Enterprise

• Recommended for branches without any infrastructure

• Easy to deploy: Enabled on clients through Group Policy

• Cache availability decreases with laptops that go offline

Distributed CacheData cached amongst clients

Hosted CacheData cached at the host server

Distributed Cache vs. Hosted Cache

• New network paradigm enables same experience inside & outside the office

• Seamless access to network resources increases productivity of mobile users

• Infrastructure investments also make it easy to service mobile PCs and distribute updates and polices

• Difficult for users to access corporate resources from outside the office

• Challenging for IT to manage, update, patch mobile PCs while disconnected from company network

HomeOffice Home Office

Situation Today

DirectAccess

Remote Access for Mobile Workers

• Data protected on internal drives and removable storage

• Mandate the use of encryption with Group Policies

• Store recovery information in Active Directory for manageability

• Simplify BitLocker setup and configuration of primary hard drive

Situation Today

BitLockerToGo

Data Protection

• Eliminate unwanted/unknown applications in your network

• Enforce application standardization within your organization

• Easily create and manage flexible rules using Group Policy

• Users can install and run unapproved applications

• Even standard users can install some types of software

• Unauthorized applications may:• Introduce malware• Increase helpdesk calls• Reduce user productivity• Undermine compliance efforts

Application Control

Application Compatibility Compatibility Overview Application Compatibility Toolkit XP Virtual Mode Enterprise Desktop Virtualization (MED-V)

Deployments, pilots, and testing will continue to pay offBuilding on Vista

Similar Compatibility: • Most software that runs on Windows Vista will run on Windows 7

Exceptions will be low level code (AV, Firewall, Imaging) • Hardware that runs Windows Vista well will run Windows 7 well

Few Changes: Focus on quality and reliability improvements

Deep Changes: New models for security, drivers, deployment, and networking
