Agenda

Datacenter solution with lower infrastructure costs and OPEX savings from increased operational efficiencies. Datacenter solution with support for modern, self-service applications and automation of repeatable tasks. Datacenter solution with high level of cross- platform interoperability. Datacenter solution that unifies device environment and protects corporate data. Efficient datacenter operations across entire customer base. “Keeping the lights on” mandate reduces agility to address app owners’ needs. Need to offer differentiated services to customers. Complexities due to diverse datacenter infrastructure. Flat or shrinking IT budgets even as business expectations increase. End user pressure to enable access to corporate information from a variety of devices. Datacenter solution with lower infrastructure costs and OPEX savings from increased operational efficiencies.

Datacenter solution that unifies device environment and protects corporate data. Challenges: Opportunities:

Server virtualization

High-performance live migration Live migration with RDMA

MAXIMUM MEMORY MAXIMUM MEMORY Dynamic Memory

Hyper ‑ V Maximum memory Virtual machine starting with Hyper ‑ V smart paging Maximum memory Maximum memory Paging file provides additional memory for startup Removing paged memory after virtual machine restart Memory reclaimed after startup Dynamic Memory

Networking

Software-defined networking

Physical adapters Virtual adapters Teamed network adapter NIC teaming

23 IPAM distributed architecture Domain europe.corp.woodbridge.com IPAM Server (UK) DHCP, DNS, DC, and NPS servers IPAM Server (Bangalore) DHCP, DNS, DC, and NPS servers Domain fareast.corp.woodbridge.com IPAM Server (Hyderabad) DHCP, DNS, DC, and NPS servers Site: Hyderabad Branch office Site: Bangalore Branch office Site: UK Branch office IPAM server (Redmond) DHCP, DNS, DC, and NPS servers Site: Redmond Head office Virtual IP address management Provides network fault tolerance and continuous availability when network adapters fail by teaming multiple network interfaces. New in R2: Enhanced LBFO performance. Vendor agnostic and shipped inbox. Provides local or remote management through Windows PowerShell or UI. Enables teams of up to 32 network adapters. Aggregates bandwidth from multiple network adapters. Includes multiple nodes: switch dependent and independent.

Storage

Hard Disk Drives Hot data Cold data Solid State Drives Inbox storage virtualization solution with automatic tiering Improved storage cost- performance with industry-standard hardware Use solid-state drives (SSD) and hard-disk drives (HDD) in tiered storage space Can “pin” high priority files to the SSD tier Storage tiering

Currently using System Center Data Protection Manager. Only a few servers that need protection. Currently no back up solution or replacing a competing product. Use the Windows Server backup tools. Windows Azure Backup

Server management and automation

Maximize the value of using the Windows Management Framework Windows Management Framework

Optional unattended deployment and configuration using PowerShell. Familiar and seamless deployment experience that sets up the most fundamental roles for the primary server. Essentials functionalities are enabled via a dedicated server role in Windows Server Standard and Windows Server Datacenter. Windows Server Essentials Experience

Windows PowerShell 4.0 Key features Broader coverage Rich management through more than 3,000 cmdlets Windows PowerShell Web Access Higher performance On-the-fly compilation—scripts run up to six times faster Performance improvements Greater resiliency Robust session connectivity Disconnected sessions Session configuration files Job scheduling Windows PowerShell Workflow More intuitive Integrated scripting environment 3.0: IntelliSense | Code Snippets Syntax simplification Cmdlet discovery and module auto-loading Updatable help Script-sharing

DEVELOPER

Windows Azure applications On-premises applications Programming symmetry

Starts scaling NEGATIVELY when the number of cores increases beyond the point where memory synchronization outweighs the benefits of any additional cores Previous Internet Information Services versions on NUMA hardware Internet Information Services in Windows Server 2012 R2 on NUMA hardware Scales POSITIVELY with increasing cores, allowing organizations to benefit from their NUMA hardware investments NUMA-aware scalability Non-Uniform Memory Architecture Processors can access local memory faster than remote memory A significant percentage of new servers have NUMA Designed for scale-up

Web platform installer Automates installation of the most popular ASP.NET and PHP apps through Windows Web App Gallery. Simplifies discovery and acquisition of the Microsoft web stack. Supported on Windows Server 2012 R2. Developers follow three steps to submit an application to Windows Web App Gallery. Windows Web App Gallery Atom feed is consumed by the App Gallery itself, Web Platform Installer, Internet Information Services Manager, and participating hosting control panels. Internet Information Services Hosting control panel Web Platform Installer tool Windows Web App Gallery Atom feed Support for open source software

Access and information protection

Controlled access to corporate data Users can access corporate applications and data wherever they are. IT can use Windows Server Remote Access to provide seamless application access and automatic VPN connections with conditional access based on user and device validation. Users are provided with a common identity when accessing cloud-based resources. When a user registers their device it becomes known and “trusted” to provide device level authentication. IT can then publish access to resources based on registration plus the users identity.

Virtual desktop infrastructure

Personalization with user profile disk Available with pooled virtual machine collections and remote desktop session host collections Stores all user settings and data Contains roaming user profile, Folder Redirection cache, and user environment virtualization Roams with user within collection Appears as a local disk and improves application compatibility User profile disk. With every virtual machine pool and remote desktop session host collection. User environment virtualization. To apply roam settings across collections. Folder redirection. To apply roaming user data across collections. To centralize user data backup. BenefitsWhat should I deploy? User profile disk with pooled virtual machine collections. User profile disk with remote desktop session host collections.
