Microsoft Enterprise Desktop Virtualization
Available since April 1st 2009
Leverages Microsoft Virtual PC to
create another instance of
Windows
Simplify deployment and
management of virtual PCs
Accelerate Windows upgrade:
Enabling virtual Windows XP/2000
Reducing costs and time for migrating
applications that are not yet supported
on Windows Vista (and Windows 7)
Future: corporate-managed virtual
environment on personal/3rd-party PCs
Applications
“When considering compatibility issues
when migrating from XP to Vista (and at
some point in the future, to Windows 7),
it provides a solution that is fast, simple,
cost-effective and most importantly,
non-disruptive to business users.”

MED-V TrimTransfer Image Delivery
(only when using MED-V IIS-based image repository)
How to Update/Patch Virtual Images?
Initial delivery
Alt. I: update the “Master” image
once and deliver image differences
to endpoints
Easy to manage
User data and settings must be saved on the network
Alt. II: connect to Active Directory domain
and use standard software delivery
Standard! (use WSUS, SCCM, etc)

Recommended HW: Dual Processor (2.8ghz), 4GB RAM
Active-directory: Joined to domain for authentication
Image repository: IIS web server
Reporting database (optional): MS SQL Server
(2005 SP2 Enterprise or 2008 Express/Standard/Enterprise)
Scale:
Up to 5000 users for the management server
Image delivery - use multiple IIS web servers or manually
deliver images through System Center Config Mgr
distribution points (no integration in v1)
MED-V v1 Client Requirements
Host
Windows Vista SP1/2 – 32-bit (2GB RAM Recommended)
Windows XP SP2/3 - 32bit (1GB RAM Recommended)
No support for Windows 7
Guest
Windows XP Pro SP2/3

MED-V v2 Roadmap
MED-V v2
Extend client platform support
Windows 7 (host/guest) and Windows Virtual PC
64-bit (for Windows 7 and Vista hosts)
Client support for additional localized OS
Expand support for localized OS beyond European languages
(Still English UI – MED-V client is not localized)
Strengthen virtual Windows XP integration:
New host/guest folder sharing method
System Center integration
Leverage existing Configuration Manager infrastructure to:
Deliver virtual images through ConfigMgr distribution points
Provision MED-V policies through ConfigMgr and enforce them using
MED-V client without additional server infrastructure
v2 Beta is expected within 90 days of Windows 7 GA
V2 – Leverage System Center Config Mgr

MED-V Customers Say…
Belgacom Group – “MED-V saves us time in standardizing our desktop
across the multiple entities of the Belgacom group…With thousands of
users in our environment, MED-V will significantly reduce the time
required for testing and migrating the applications we have.”
Belfast Health and Social Care Trust (22,000 staffs)* - “We found that
MED-V really solved our application compatibility problems. It allowed
us to deploy the applications, where third party vendors were not
providing a supported version. Where we used to have hundreds of
images, we were able to move to one [Windows] Vista image, and use
MED-V to deploy [legacy] applications on top of that”
Large European teleco. (80,000 employees)* - “We are really happy
with MED-V. We can virtualize the applications that are made only for
XP, and they work fine, with all the functionality intact”
* Excerpt from EMA Brief: “Introduction to the Benefits of Local Desktop Virtualization”, April 2009
