Microsoft India - Whats New in Windows Server 2008 R2 Presentation

DESCRIPTION

This is the first post in my series about the new features in Windows Server 2008 R2. As in my series about the new features of Windows 7, I will update the articles when I learn about new features. I will discuss some of the new features in more detail soon. Essentially, the term "virtualization" covers three different technologies in Windows Server 2008 R2: Server Virtualization, Desktop Virtualization, and Presentation Virtualization. Server Virtualization is based on Hyper-V 2.0, which will get quite a few interesting new features. The virtualization technology ehind Desktop virtualization, i.e., Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI), is also Hyper-V. This is probably the most important new feature in Windows Server 2008 R2. Presentation Virtualization is nothing but the good old Terminal Server. Technically, I find it a bit odd to use the term "virtualization" in this context, but from a marketer's point of view, it probably makes a lot of sense. Note that Microsoft renamed the "Terminal Services" as "Remote Desktop Services" in Windows Server 2008 R2.

WINDOWS SERVER 2008 R2

SITUATION TODAY• Server Sprawl

• Difficult management of high-density VM sites

• Limited hardware resources per VMs

• Lack of unified virtualization architecture

• Limited VM client support and Difficult end-to-end management

With virtualization, we will save about 50 percent of our annual energy budget for cooling and

electricity. Virtualization saves us on hardware and labor. We also save on software licensing fees.

And we can save money by creating and managing virtual test environments for some applications

with our development group. - LukOil Oil Company

Over time, however, the company expects to benefit from reduced power consumption and costs.

“Because of our size, we can realize significant gains by managing power more efficiently,” says

Buckingham. “The electricity billing in our data centers is based on metered power, and we can

reduce our monthly bills if we control power consumption with Windows Server 2008 R2.”

WS08R2/ W7 SOLUTIONSITUATION TODAY

• 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

• 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

Using the BranchCache™ features in Windows Server® 2008 R2 and Windows 7, CCO has simplified

remote connection to its network and speed the downloading of important files. It has cut costs by

eliminating its virtual private network and has seen a 43 percent savings in wide area network

(WAN) bandwidth. - Convergent Computing

WS08R2/ W7 SOLUTIONSITUATION TODAY

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

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

• Seamless, always-on, secure

connectivity – Win7 + WS08 R2

• Utilizes technologies already in WS08R2

• No separate action required to connect

to corpnet while remote. Corpnet is

simply there.

• Leverages policy-based network access

• Enables desktop management

regardless of client location.

With DirectAccess, CCO is saving about $40,000 a year by eliminating its VPN and all its

associated hardware, software, licensing, and carrier charges - Convergent Computing

“I got a sneak peek at the new R2 last week, and spending a few days with the leaner,

faster (and 64-bit only) OS, was a jaw dropping experience.” Mario Morejon, PC Mag

“R2's market advantage over VMWare's ESX solution is clear. R2 is a multipurpose

server, so you can deploy virtual machines and many other services in the same box. It's not often

that I find myself so excited about a server OS, far less an r2 release of an existing one, but R2 is a

special case. I predict many businesses will feel the same way.” Mario Morejon, PC Mag

“Microsoft has put significant resources into improving the product so much that calling it

a “Release 2” version is arguably a mistake – Microsoft should call the product Windows Server 7."

eWeek Channel Insider, Frank Ohlhorst

"Microsoft is also ready to start talking performance for the first time and Microsoft has a

compelling story to tell there." Jason Perlow, ZDNet

“In R2, Hyper-V inches up ever closer to VMWare's market dominant Infrastructure 3. In

fact, the newest Hyper-V closes the gap in live server migration. Just like VMWare's Sphere

VMotion technology, R2's Hyper-V can do live migration of virtual servers, and it's free with your

Server 2008 license, whereas VMotion costs an additional $6,958.” Mario Morejon, PC Mag

“Windows Server 2008 R2 is evolving into the stealth Server release of the decade, a

seemingly minor update that, in fact, adds almost as much new functionality as its predecessor."

Paul Thurrott, Windows SuperSite
