Windows Server Virtualization Scenarios And Features Jeff Woolsey Lead Program Manager Windows Virtualization Microsoft Corporation Goals You will leave with an understanding of: The core Windows Server virtualization scenarios A high level overview of Windows Server virtualization architecture The features that support the scenarios Windows Server Virtualization Scenarios Production Server Consolidation Business Continuity Management Dynamic Datacenter Test and Development Production Server Consolidation Physical consolidation Improve and maximize hardware utilization Consolidate workloads onto fewer highly scalable and reliable enterprise class servers Reduce TCO Physical plant Reduce electrical costs for cooling and server power consumption Reduce datacenter physical footprint Server Management Ease management and reduce operational costs by moving to a standardized platform. Increase business agility by moving to dynamic platform. Server consolidation is the fundamental driving force behind the virtualization of servers. Business Continuity Management Business continuity is a comprehensive process that includes: Disaster and business recovery Business resumption and contingency planning For a global organization, this is particularly difficult as they provide “follow the sun” services. Ensure continuity or uninterrupted provision of operations and services Reduce service interruptions Provide scalable, high availability solutions Improve disaster and business recovery Provide robust enterprise management Business Continuity Management is the ability to minimize scheduled and unscheduled downtime. Dynamic Datacenter Reduce TCO Ensure resources are appropriately sized and used Support and enhance business processes Maximize hardware utilization Reduce IT complexity and management Decouple workloads from hardware Rapidly provision workloads Provide dynamic scale up solutions Ease scale out solutions Simplify and automate the design, deployment, and operation of
