Server 2008 & Virtualization

Costs are too highCan’t meet SLAs Providing business continuity for operating systems and applications Expensive space across the data center or branch offices Systems can’t scale quickly Downtime is affecting server availability Application incompatibilities Slow response to dynamic needs at the data center Server underutilization Typical server workloads often consume only 5-10 percent of total server capacity Excessive power and energy consumption; unfriendly to the environment Lengthy server testing Application-specific servers (server silos)

VS Presentation and process on same computer Applications installed to OS Operating system installed to hardware Data resides on local computer Network assigned to specific location Virtualization is the isolation of one computing resource from the others: Virtualization results in more efficient resource utilization and enables greater flexibility and simplified change management Virtual Presentation Presentation layer separate from process Virtual Applications Any application on any computer on-demand Virtual Machine OS can be assigned to any desktop or server Virtual Data Data resides on the network Virtual Network Localizing dispersed resources

“Windows Server 2008 will change the way people look at virtualization.” Danielle Ruest, Information Week “Even though Hyper-V is still pre- 1.0 code, I think Microsoft has done a bang-up job with its hypervisor, and it may just turn this Linux freak into a Windows 2008 junkie.” “ Yes, jaws actually dropped when it [Hyper-V] was installed in the Test Center.” “Microsoft's virtualization has three unique advantages: It costs nothing, its administration is integrated into Microsoft's other server management tools, and Windows Server 2008 is the only host OS it needs to support.” ChannelWeb Feb. 11, 2008 ZDNet Feb. 14, 2008 InfoWorld Feb. 25, 2008
