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

7 Server Consolidation Opportunities TCO Reduction Range ~ 25%-35% File & Print Database Email Database Email Database Email Email Domain Domain Domain Database Reduce Servers Domain LOB LOB LOB LOB

8 Real World Results Reduces server staff 11% Reduces servers 50% 63% Consolidation in Domain Servers Reduces TCO 26% Reduces staffing 33% Saved $1.4M 25% reduction in F/P Reduces servers 30% Apps 30% faster Consolidated 23 sites to 7 sites Reduced TCO 33% Increased trading capacity 3X

10 File & Print Consolidation Customer References Baltimore Gas & Electric 25% reduction in file/print servers to reduce administration costs and reduce network complexity Shortens product development cycles, provides more efficient collaboration and reduces management costs Improved ability to save, locate, share info through DFS and indexing to save $802K per year Estimated $500,000 in management/operations cost containment MicronPC Reduced Server TCO 26% per year Built in features such as Remote Installation Services (RIS), Group Policy, and Microsoft Software Installer (MSI)—are centrally managed and automatically deployed to optimize best practices Scalability/reliability enables running multiple applications on a single server Unisys Built a “Utility” infrastructure that provides 166% ROI, 14-month payback 35% reduction in infrastructure servers 11% reduction in server administration staff 2.6% productivity improvement from file format compatibility and improved help & task activities Little & Associates Architects Consolidated from 80 to 40 servers on Windows 2000 Servers Realized savings of $840,000 in year 1 Trimmed 40% from IT budget while providing better service and increased functionality Improved security and ease of management of users, applications, and devices Credit Suisse First Boston Credit Suisse First Boston Consolidated NT4, Windows 2000, and Sun/Solaris servers onto two Windows 2000 Servers Reduced IT costs by 15% End-user unproductive time slashed by 41% Achieved new levels of performance, fail-over tolerance, and reliability Microsoft ITG Reduced 30 print servers to 4 to reduce administration costs (moved from 1- 4 proc) Reduced management of print servers from 6 people to 1 in less than 3 years Reduced management of print servers from 6 people to 1 in less than 3 years Reduced helpdesk calls from 700 per month to nearly zero with self-service model Free up datacenter space while upgrading old hardware Currently supports 5-7K concurrent connections

11 Customer Stories Madrid Stock Exchange Consolidation onto Windows 2000 Servers reduced annual TCO by 33% No downtime in seven months of use, with 99.999% availability Increased exchange trading capacity by 3X Project payback in 2 years with 31% IRR “The scalability, performance, and data management improvements in Windows 2000 Datacenter Server enabled us to operate the first seven months of SIBE-Gate with zero downtime and provided the capacity to host three times more trade order transactions." - Agustin Ramos, Systems Technology Manager, Bolsa de Madrid Moving Forward

12 City of Hamburg, Germany Reduced systems management staffing needs by 80% Centralized IT operations of 13 different government agencies using Windows Server, Exchange, and SQL Increased productivity by enabling cross-departmental collaboration “The standardisation of our IT and communications infrastructure makes it easy to integrate old systems and implement new ones. We now are building up e-government solution after e-government solution." - Matthias Hammer, head of Administration and Central Services, City of Hamburg Customer Stories Moving Forward

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

16 Microsoft tools/templates Comprehensive TCO analysis tool (CIOView) Assessment guides/Solution accelerators Project planning, functional specification, risk analysis and design guide templates Data Collection form VMware, HP ProLiant, Microsoft File Server Migration Toolkit, Migration checking…

17 Microsoft “Do It Yourself” Solutions Solution Accelerator for Consolidation and Migrating LOB Applications Mixed Workload Consolidation Guide Solution Accelerator for Domain Server Consolidation and Migration: Windows NT 4.0 to Windows Server 2003 Server Consolidation Home: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserversystem/overview/benefits/co nsolidation/techres.mspx

18 Why consolidate on Windows 2003 Server? Virtual Server to partition server and give fine grained control of hardware WSRM to track process accounting WSRM to divide resources across Virtual Server partitions Virtual Server scales to 2 processors Virtual Server to handle 64 bit OS - early 06
