RemoteFX and Dynamic Memory Technologies to increase user productivity and lower the cost per desktop RemoteFX Dynamic Memory Microsoft RemoteFX in Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 will enable a local-like, rich media experience for session-based or virtual desktops. Dynamic Memory in Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 enables better consolidation ratios with predictable performance
Tremendous Market Momentum for Microsoft Virtualization Server Consolidation Energy Reduction Dynamic Datacenters IT as a Service Rapid Provisioning High Availability Business Continuity
Microsoft s Virtualization Strategy Make Virtualization as Pervasive as Possible Preserve Customer s Existing Investments Establish Management as the Key Enabler
Virtualize Your Key Applications Microsoft fully supports our key server applications in a virtualized environment Microsoft has updated server workload licensing to enable virtualization mobility Management of the workloads is key, not just the virtual machine Maxol runs Exchange Server 2007, SQL Server 2005, Terminal Services, and file and print servers as key workloads in its virtual environment. Going forward, nearly every business application at Maxol will be a candidate for virtualization. - Maxol Case Study We ve seen first-hand that we can virtualize everything from file, print, and web servers to database servers running SQL Server and Oracle, and actually have the virtual machine run *faster* than what it ran on our original physical box. - Janssen Jones, Indiana University

Quick Migration vs. Live Migration Quick Migration (Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V) 1. Save state a. Create virtual machine on the target b. Write virtual machine memory to shared storage 2. Move virtual machine a. Move storage connectivity from source host to target host via Ethernet 3. Restore state and run a. Take memory from shared storage and restore on Target b. Run Live Migration (Windows Server 2008 R2 Server Hyper-V) 1. Virtual Machine State/Memory Transfer a. Create virtual machine on the target b. Move memory pages from the source to the target via Ethernet 2. Final state transfer and virtual machine restore a. Pause virtual machine b. Move storage connectivity from source host to target host via Ethernet 3. Un-pause and run Host 1 Host 2 Host 1 Host 2
