“Virtualization
is an approach to deploying
computing resources that isolates different
layers – hardware, software, data, networks,
storage – from each other.”
Bob Muglia
Microsoft
President, Server and Tools
Virtualization is the isolation of one computing resource from the others:
Virtual Applications
Applications installed to
Specific hardware and OS
Any application on any computer on-demand
Virtual Presentation
Interface bound to process
Presentation layer separate from process
Operating System assigned
to specific hardware
Virtual Machine
OS can be assigned to any desktop or server
Storage assigned to specific
locations
Virtual Storage
Storage and backup over the network
Network assigned to specific
locations
Virtual Network
Localizing dispersed resources
Traditional software stack
Component isolation with Virtualization
Virtualization results in more efficient resource utilization, and enables greater flexibility and
simplified change management

Consolidate workloads for more efficient resource utilization
Reduce operating costs (Hardware, Energy, Space)
Improve uptime and availability
Enable robust Disaster Recovery
Reduce maintenance disruption
Streamline resource provisioning and scale
Decouple applications from desktop operating systems,
deliver on demand
Reduce application-to-application conflicts
Reduce application compatibility regression testing
Centrally manage updates and patches
Micro-kernelized or Type I hypervisor
Monolithic or Type II hypervisor
Simpler than a modern kernel, but still
complex
Contains its own drivers model

Integration with new technologies and products
Enabling new dynamic scenarios:
Increased Server Consolidation
Dynamic Data Center
Virtualized Centralized Desktop
Better Performance
Type I Hypervisor means less
overhead:
Better Performance
Better Scalability
Better Driver Support
Drivers run in guests not on the
host
Increased Stability
Increased Reach
Greater Hosting Systems Options
Better Support
End to End Support and Peace-ofMind
Better Licensing
Least expensive virtualization

Included Guest Licensing
Data Center Edition is the best overall
value
But all Editions of Windows Server 2008
with Hyper-V provide great value

Inadequate Virtualization Management Dangers:
Virtual Server Sprawl
Non-Scalable Administration
Patching and Provisioning Nightmare
Business Continuity
“Virtualization without good management is more
dangerous than not using virtualization in the
first place.”
Thomas Bittman, Analyst, Gartner

Familiar Approach to Backups
Backup VMs and Virtualized Applications with the ease of
backing up static Files.
Lowers overall TCO
Focus on your backup needs – not on learning new backup
techniques and idiosyncrasies.
Helps create dynamic IT
Take a pro-active approach to backups.
DPM does not require a SAN to
snap and remount VHDs
elsewhere - it can use DAS, or
any other locally mounted disk,
on the Host, as well as the DPM
server.
DPM does not require 3rd party
backup software, even after the
VHD is secured - its a complete
solution on its own
You can run DPM 2007 SP1 on
the Hyper-V host itself,
providing a self-contained
solution.
DPM does not leave the VM
dormant during the entire
backup -- if it has to hibernate
the VM, it brings it down, snaps
it, and brings it right back up
again. But for most Windows
guests, it can protect with no
downtime at all!
And because DPM can replicate
from one DPM server to another
(DPM-2-DPM-4-DR), you can
easily replicate your VHDs offsite to i365

support
Lower cost for DR infrastructure
Anywhere, anytime access to
recovery platform
Effective management of
secured data
More scalable solution
Generally more powerful than
internal and dedicated technical
architecture.
Customer:
Removes the need to procure HW
and infrastructure
Fewer barriers to entry
Accelerated speed-to-deploy
On-demand, subscription based
use of RDR facility
No need to install, deploy, and
support the infrastructure
“Through 2013, 30% of enterprises adopting cloud-based
services will base their choices on provider’s capability to
reliably deliver and provide access to their data in the cloud.*
* Gartner
i365 RDR uses the latest in
Virtualization technology
Hardware failure and
overload:
Using Hyper-V and HA
solution in a VM cluster
prevents machines from
getting overloaded.
In the event of hardware
failure the machines simply
Hyper-V to other servers in
cluster.
Best of bread technology:
Using Microsoft Hyper-V and
Seagate HDD’s ie (EMC,
NetApp, IBM, HP, Dell)
Speed of deployment
Using Hyper-V templates
allows i365 RDR to recreate
multiple customers’
environments in minutes vs.
hours with physical machines.
Cost Advantage
Administrators build on the Windows Server skill, tools and
processes they already have
Support for up to 64GB per VM
Customers report 30:1 and more consolidation ratios
Affordable, powerful, easy to use tools to manage Hyper-V and
VMware
Use GUIDs to create LUNS to avoid running out of letters
Microsoft hypervisor is <1MB and contains no third party
code or drivers, making it thin AND secure
Hyper-V on a Windows Server Core installation is just
512MB, providing the right size environment for minimal
maintenance and management tasks
Choice of VM migration – Quick (today) or Live (R2)
Automated dynamic load balancing at no additional charge
No more failed recoveries
Near zero data loss for Exchange,
SQL, and SharePoint
Best of Breed Heterogeneous support
for seamless Disk-to-Disk-to-Tape for
backups
Recoveries within minutes instead of
hours
Best of cloud services with on
premises solutions
Unified policy allows protection of
multiple data types to any media – in
one schedule and with common
tuning options
Eliminate the backup window of
your production servers
Shrink potential data loss down
to 15 minutes
Application recovery direct from
backup UI – no pre-staging
Enable end-users to perform
their own recoveries
Remove tapes from branch
offices and centralize
backups at the datacenter
