8. Agenda

10. Modern platform for the world’s apps

13. Efficient datacenter operations
across entire customer base.
“Keeping the lights on” mandate reduces agility
to address app owners’ needs.
Need to offer differentiated services to
customers.
Complexities due to diverse
datacenter infrastructure.
Flat or shrinking IT budgets even as
business expectations increase.
End user pressure to enable access to corporate
information from a variety of devices.
Datacenter solution with
lower infrastructure costs
and OPEX savings from
increased operational
efficiencies.
Datacenter solution with
support for modern,
self-service applications
and automation of
repeatable tasks.
Datacenter solution with
high level of cross-
platform interoperability.
Datacenter solution that
unifies device
environment and
protects corporate data.

Virtual IP address management
• Provides network fault tolerance and continuous
availability when network adapters fail by teaming
multiple
network interfaces.
• New in R2: Enhanced LBFO performance.
• Vendor agnostic and shipped inbox.
• Provides local or remote management through
Windows PowerShell or UI.
• Enables teams of up to 32
network adapters.
• Aggregates bandwidth from multiple network
adapters.
• Includes multiple nodes: switch dependent and
independent.

24. Storage

25. Hard Disk Drives
Hot data
Cold data
Solid State Drives
• Inbox storage virtualization
solution with automatic tiering
• Improved storage cost-
performance with
industry-standard hardware
• Use solid-state drives (SSD) and
hard-disk drives (HDD) in tiered
storage space
• Can “pin” high priority files
to the SSD tier

Only a few servers that need protection.
Currently no back up solution or replacing a
competing product.
Use the Windows Server backup tools.
Windows Azure Backup

28. Server management and automation

29. Maximize the value of using the Windows Management Framework
Windows Management Framework

30. Optional unattended deployment and
configuration using PowerShell.
Familiar and seamless deployment
experience that sets up the most
fundamental roles for the primary
server.
Essentials functionalities are enabled via
a dedicated server role in Windows
Server Standard and Windows Server
Datacenter.
Windows Server Essentials
Experience

31. Windows PowerShell 4.0
Key features
Broader coverage
• Rich management through more than 3,000 cmdlets
• Windows PowerShell Web Access
Higher performance
• On-the-fly compilation—scripts run up to
six times faster
• Performance improvements
Greater resiliency
• Robust session connectivity
• Disconnected sessions
• Session configuration files
• Job scheduling
• Windows PowerShell Workflow
More intuitive
• Integrated scripting environment 3.0:

organizations to benefit from
their NUMA hardware
investments
NUMA-aware scalability
Non-Uniform Memory
Architecture
• Processors can access local
memory faster than remote
memory
• A significant percentage of new
servers have NUMA
• Designed for scale-up

35. Web platform installer
• Automates installation of the most popular ASP.NET
and PHP apps through Windows Web App Gallery.
• Simplifies discovery and acquisition of the
Microsoft web stack.
• Supported on Windows Server 2012 R2.
Developers follow three steps to submit
an application to Windows Web App Gallery.
Windows Web App Gallery Atom feed is consumed by the
App Gallery itself, Web Platform Installer, Internet Information
Services Manager, and participating hosting control panels.

36. Access and information protection

37. Controlled access to corporate data
Users can access corporate
applications and data
wherever they are.
IT can use Windows Server
Remote Access to provide
seamless application access
and automatic VPN
connections with conditional
access based on user and
device validation.
Users are provided with
a common identity when
accessing cloud-based resources.
When a user registers their
device it becomes known and
“trusted” to provide device
level authentication. IT can
then publish access to
resources based on registration
plus the users identity.

38. Virtual desktop infrastructure
