Virtualization is the isolation of one computing resource from the others:

Traditional software stack Component isolation with Virtualization

Virtualization results in more efficient resource utilization, and enables greater flexibility and simplified change management

Server Virtualization Desktop Virtualization Application Virtualization Presentation Virtualization

Consolidate workloads for more efficient resource utilization

Create an additional isolated OS environment on standard desktop

Decouple applications from desktop operating systems, deliver on demand

Centralize processing and data storage; present the user interface locally

• Reduce operating costs (Hardware, Energy, Space)

• Improve uptime and availability

• Enable robust Disaster Recovery

• Reduce maintenance disruption

• Streamline resource provisioning and scale

• Support legacy applications in current Operating Systems

• Reduce application-to-OS conflicts

• Accelerate OS migration

• Reduce application-to-application conflicts

• Reduce application compatibility regression testing

• Centrally manage updates and patches

• Reduce application-to-OS conflicts

• Streamline compliance and data confidentiality

• Reduce desktop administration costs

Host Perspective:

Virtualization is a new server workload, but with similar monitoring needs to existing workloads.The Virtual Machine is a component of the virtualization stack.

Guest Perspective:

The Virtual Machine is a computer!

Server Virtualization Management Pack for Operations Manager 2007 provides the following:

Discovery and monitoring of all Virtual Server and Virtual Machine Manager ComponentsAlerts on job and component status changesReports for managing, maintaining and optimizing a virtualized environmentVirtualization environment diagram view

Reports in the Server Virtualization Management Pack leverage the data available from the Operations Manager Data Warehouse.

The reports are directly accessible from within the VMM Administrator’s Console

Wizard-based tool Rapidly virtualizes applications No change to source codeAllows for one or more applications/dependencies into a single, portable data file (SFT).SFT file is placed onto one or more SoftGrid Servers On-demand deployment to desktops, laptops, Terminal Servers or virtual machines

• SoftGrid Management Web Service

MMC based Console

.Net interface

• Assign applications via Active Directory or SMS

• License control of all virtual applications

• Remote Assistance– Remote connect to the

SoftGrid client on PC

Active Upgrades– No down time

deployments

• Permission BasedUser authentication, authorization and licensing are checked on every launch

• Centrally Served“Just enough” code delivery to the client (10-30%)

• Locally ExecutedAll run locally

• Cached for PerformanceApp code is cached for repeat use – even without a network

Disconnected Use Support– Applications are cached for

limited time before expiring

• Applications are virtualized per instance:

• Files (incl System Files)• Registry• Fonts• .ini• COM/DCOM objects• Services• Name Spaces• Semafores, Mutexes

• Applications do not get installed or alter the operating system

• Yet tasks process locally on the host computer.

Integrates Application Virtualization and on-demand streaming into SMS 2003

Manage and deploy virtualized apps from within the SMS management console

Accelerates application deployment using SMS 2003

Eliminates application conflicts and reduces testing time Enables instant upgrade and repair of deployed applicationsProvides on-demand access to applications on any computer

Reduces SMS application management costs Accelerates application deployment and proceduresControls application infectionsReduces the number of deployed system image versionsSimplifies OS and application migrations

SMS Connector integrates into existing SMS infrastructure

Allows for management of virtual applications within the existing SMS console

Virtual Application Packaging IntegrationImports virtual applications from SoftGrid system into SMS packages

Multiple Delivery MethodsVirtual applications can be delivered in the right way for the particular situation

“Dynamic” – streamed delivery where only the necessary portions of the virtualized applications are deployed in real-time

“Push” delivery where virtualized applications are turned into SMS packages and deployed using standard SMS “push” methods

Native SMS Inventory and Metering Integration

Virtual applications are able to be tracked by SMS asset management discovery and metering systems

SMS reports include both virtualized and installed applications

Virtualized applications are managed through the

SMS Management

Console

Virtual applications are pushed from SMS

server and/or streamed on-demand from the SoftGrid

Server

When target clients are inventoried by SMS, the

virtual applications appear in the reports
