Key Product Highlights

WINDOWS SERVER 2008 R2• Live Migration of running VMs• Support for 64-cores, 1 TB RAM and 256 VMs• Integrated RDS/VDI for unified virtual management• Support for SuSE, Red Hat and Solaris• Also, SCVMM can manage ESX

SITUATION TODAY• Difficult management of high-density VM sites• Limited hardware resources per VMs• Lack of unified virtualization architecture• Limited VM client support• Difficult end-to-end management

Virtualization with Hyper-V & RDS

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

Power Management

• Increase productivity and reduce footprint

• Lead by example

• Built in energy efficiency

• Resource optimization

• Guidance & education

• Centralize control• Analyze operations• Monitor goals

WINDOWS SERVER 2008 R2• Processor Power Management (PPM)• Core Parking• Centralized Storage• Reduced Power & Cooling costs

(+6%)

SITUATION TODAY• Only basic server power

management• Proliferation of disparate hardware• Lack of power reporting

REDUCE MANAGE RETHINK

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.” - MySpace.com

Scalability & Reliability

WINDOWS SERVER 2008 R2• Scaling Out

• Flexible management features & emphasis on virtualization• Scaling Up

• In-box support for the latest CPU, storage and networking technologies

SITUATION TODAY• Lack of advanced hardware support• Disparate systems for advanced hardware and server solutions• Lack of unified management infrastructure

Employee productivity has improved so much that he was able to defer hiring additional sales and management personnel this year. “The $120,000 to $150,000 a year it would cost to fund these positions now goes straight to our bottom line or gets distributed to current employees to help preclude layoffs in the future. - Convergent Computing

WINDOWS SERVER 2008 R2• Best Practice Analyzers across server roles• PowerShell and PowerShell-enabled management tools• Expanded R2 management tool portfolio & System Center suite

availability

SITUATION TODAY• Increased need for organizational resource reporting• Too many manual tasks• Complex monitoring and event reporting• Multiple management tools

Management & Reporting

Using Windows Server 2008 R2, we accomplished a whole year’s worth of IT projects in the first quarter of 2009—even in this tight economy…We couldn’t be more pleased.

- Convergent Computing

WINDOWS SERVER 2008 R2• Server consolidation & power management• R2 requires no new CALs• Significant new features out-of-box

SITUATION TODAY• Spiraling datacenter costs• Budget pressures vs. need for expansion & agility• Tight economy

Taking advantage of the BranchCache feature in Windows Server 2008 R2, we can spend $20,000 rather than $50,000 per year on bandwidth by postponing our expansion schedule.

SIMPLIFIED MANAGEMENT BETTER TOGETHER SYNERGY

SITUATION TODAY• Disparate systems & technologies paralyze internal

innovation• Multiple management tools and skill sets cement awkward

processes• Datacenters largely static hardware-heavy resources

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

WINDOWS SERVER 2008 R2Comprehensive anywhere access for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2• Seamless, always-on, secure connectivity; no separate client software required• Utilizes networking technologies already in Windows Server 2008 • 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

SITUATION TODAY• Separate client software required to initiate remote session; complex desktop

support• Modifications of existing network technologies or even new technologies

required for remote sessions • Ongoing investment in VPN and RAS hardware• Separate desktop management policies for remote and local clients

Work Anywhere with DirectAccess

WINDOWS SERVER 2008 R2

SITUATION 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

BranchCache™

Remote Offices & BranchCache

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

WINDOWS SERVER 2008 R2Revolutionary data management system able to manage file lifecycle based on criteria and policy• Identify data based on various criteria, including data type, file type and even

content• Manage data lifecycle based on these criteria • Initiate tasks or events based on those same criteria, including backup or

encryption • Provide IT administrators with new and much deeper insight into enterprise

data.

SITUATION TODAY• File server storage growth increasing at 51% CY08-CY12 (IDC)• But storage costs are decreasing at only 30% (IDC)• IT storage budgets have flattened with up to 60% of current file server dataestimated to be stale.• IT admins are hampered with little or no visibility into the lifecycle of corporate

data.
