Why Windows 7

The Optimized Desktop Enterprise Investment Areas for Windows 7 Streamline PC Management “ My enterprise is becoming more disperse. How do I keep people connected to what they need?” “How can I reduce costs and take advantage of new technologies like virtualization ?” “How can I enable the software and devices my users require and minimize their risk?” Enhance Security and Control App-V; MED-VBitlocker™; AGPM; DaRT MUI; 4 Virtual OS; Subsystem 4 Unix; AIS; AGPM; App-V; DEM Access Information Anywhere

Deploying Windows 7 with System Center

Hardware Compatibility Application Management Infrastructure and Networking Security and Data Protection Imaging Migration and Installation ManagementVirtualization The focus areas of a deployment

Planning the Windows 7 deployment Enhance your Windows 7 deployment planning with deep Asset Intelligence knowledge Simplify your Windows 7 deployment customization for roles, locations, or other Customize your Windows 7 installations for explicit targeting to existing systems or users Accelerate Windows client deployments with centralized management control Ease migration with integrated virtualized application streaming Protect legacy environments with ‘managed’ enterprise desktop virtualization Manage, Update, Monitor and Backup important application and user data

Hardware Compatibility System Center can help provide hardware readiness reports of existing inventory Simple report glance of what systems are capable of Windows 7 today

Application Management One of the most complicated areas of any deployment Application Compatibility Toolkit Connector, in 1 view compare your own testing results to: −Vendors −Other organizations −Microsoft Compatibility knowledge helps to understand priority focus Virtualization may be a solution −MDOP App-V −MDOP MED-V

Infrastructure and Networking Significant cost savings can be achieved by using a management tool, and by deploying into a managed environment Benefits can be achieved by utilizing capabilities such as : −System Center −Active Directory −Group Policy −Branch Cache −Direct Access

Security and Data Protection Fundamentally Secure Platform Protect Users & Infrastructure Windows Vista Foundation User Account Control Enhanced Auditing Securing Anywhere Access Network Security Network Access Protection DirectAccessTM AppLocker TM Internet Explorer 8 Data Recovery RMS EFS BitLocker TM Protect Data from Unauthorized Viewing Building upon the security foundations of Windows Vista, Windows 7 provides IT Professionals security features that are simple to use, manageable, and valuable Deployed and Configured centrally with System Center

Imaging, Migration and Installation OS deployments are complex Multiple locations and security models are touched The Task Sequencer allows you to easily automate this from 1 view. System Center can accelerate OS Deployment Automate and Combine: −User Migration −OS Customization −Partition modeling −Application installation (physical and virtual −Updates −BitLocker −Reporting

User Migration An OS image can be the smallest part of a deployment payload when compared to user data USMT v4 - User State Migration Toolkit will completely eliminate any data move with a new feature called ‘hardlinking’ ‘Hardlinking’ allows you to simply scan the system for what you want to migrate, make a record of its location on the disk, and leave it there At the end of your deployment, you reconnect to this location in the new user profile Scan and copy times from hours to minutes Remove network storage completely Preserve bandwidth Integrated with System Center for total automation and reporting An example: machines migration -Avg. 4Gb of user data per machine - Equates to 20,000Gb of data: -Transferred up the network to a share -Stored -Transferred back down An example: machines migration -Avg. 4Gb of user data per machine - Equates to 20,000Gb of data: -Transferred up the network to a share -Stored -Transferred back down

Deploy Windows 7 with System Center Delivery Explicit targeting, scheduling based on business needs Flexible control with end user focus Optional ‘opt-in’ style approach Wake on LAN, Intel vPro integration Reporting Detailed reporting for deployment project by: user, computer, collection, location Granular detail to Task Sequence Steps Rich troubleshooting support for root cause SQL Reporting Services integration Accounting Week 1 Finance Week 2 Finance Sales Week 3 Sales HR Week 4 HR
