1. Microsoft Server Consolidation: Services, Solutions… Experience! Microsoft Technology Center Thomas Hsu

2. Centralized management of business-critical systems and applications Consolidation of applications onto fewer, highly-available servers Standardization of platforms and processes Optimization of human and physical resources Consolidation of servers into one geographical location What is Server Consolidation?

3. Business/IT Shared “Pain” Risk Security Cost Resources Resources Management Server Sprawl Underutilized Servers Poor Management & Processes Increasing Headcount Reqs Consolidation

4. Business Drivers for Server Consolidation Reduce Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) Reduce server real estate Replace older servers Corporate restructure Operating system upgrades or migration Application upgrades or standardization High-availability applications New central e-mail standard Use of servers for enterprise applications Network redesign Combine excess capacity across disparate servers Mergers & acquisitions Increasing scalability demands

5. DB Consolidation - Results

6. Types of Server Consolidation Logical Centralize management of business-critical systems and applications Homogeneous Combining a single application which resides on multiple servers onto one server Heterogeneous Combining multiple applications from different servers onto ones server Geographic Moving servers into one geographical location

13. What is Server Virtualization? The need to support older applications. The need to consolidate older applications. Test environment Training environment What Microsoft provides in Virtualization Virtual Server Virtual PC Addresses four business needs: Virtualization is not a silver bullet for consolidating servers.

14. Benefits of Virtualization Technology Production Server Consolidation Reduce TCO by maximizing hardware utilization and consolidating workloads Business Continuity Management Help reduce scheduled and unscheduled downtime Dynamic Datacenter Leverage the benefits of virtualization to create a more agile infrastructure Test and Development Maximize test hardware, reducing costs, improving lifecycle management and improving test coverage

15. Self-Managing Dynamic Systems  Traditional systems live within boundaries  Applications have fixed dedicated resources  Results in need for more responsive infrastructure  Wasted capacity  Virtual systems break down some of these boundaries  Virtualization allows for better resource utilization  Dynamic systems go further  Resources are intelligently (policy) & flexibly assigned as needs change Storage Servers Applications/ Services Dynamic Storage Dynamic Platform Dynamic Services
