The document discusses the challenges facing IT departments and proposes Microsoft's optimization model as a blueprint to overcome these challenges through infrastructure virtualization. It outlines Microsoft's virtualization strategy and capabilities across various workloads. The presentation aims to address common concerns around virtualization and demonstrate how Microsoft's virtualization solutions can help meet goals around costs, availability, manageability and more.

Microsoft
• Do more with less
• Green initiatives
• Changing Business Needs
• Mobile Workforce
• Disaster Avoidance

3. A Blueprint To Overcome The Challenges
Microsoft Optimization Model
Capability sequencing framework to
help you build an optimized
infrastructure (not Microsoft-specific)
Grounded in industry analyst
and academic work, consortium

Provides guidance and best practices
for step-by-step implementation
Drives cost reduction, security
and efficiency gains as well as
enabling agility

4. Core Infrastructure Optimization Model

“But is Microsoft’s
virtualization solution
really ready for the
enterprise?”

14. Virtualized Workloads

15. Hyper-V: Production Scalability
Hyper-V Powering Microsoft Internet Properties
TechNet: 100% Hyper-V
• http://technet.microsoft.com
• ~1 million hits a DAY
MSDN: 100% Hyper-V
• http://msdn.microsoft.com
• ~3 million hits a DAY
Microsoft.com: ~50% Hyper-V and growing

16. Published Case Studies

17. Microsoft Virtualization Solutions
“I am uncomfortable
betting my entire IT
infrastructure on a
single vendor.”

18. Interoperability
Interoperability agreements with
Novell, Citrix (Xen), and Red Hat to
support Linux on Hyper-V
SVVP (Server Virtualization Validation
Program) to certify non-Microsoft
Hypervisors for Microsoft Support
System Center Operations Manager
supports monitoring of non-Windows,
including Linux
System Center Virtual Machine
Manager manages VMware ESX
servers
Microsoft released the source code for
Hyper-V drivers under the GPL

19. Microsoft Virtualization Solutions
“Our server workloads
are dynamic and
change during the
day. I need automatic
server load balancing.”

• VM is the clustered load
• Supports SAN, Fiber, iSCSI
Guest (Virtual to Virtual)
• App is the clustered load
• Supports iSCSI only
Hybrid (Physical to Virtual)
• Potential hardware issues
• Supports iSCSI only
