Lack of Interoperability Slows
Business to a Crawl
When systems don’t
interoperate, people,
processes and information are
disconnected.

Interoperability
Microsoft Contributes Linux Device
Driver to Linux Community
Microsoft has contributed in excess of 20,000 lines
of device driver code to the Linux Community thru a
GPLv2 license
The code will be incorporated into the next available
Linux kernel (likely early 2010)
The code will be made available thru the Linux Driver
Project
http://www.linuxdriverproject.org/twiki/bin/view
The code enables Linux guest operating systems to
run more efficiently on Microsoft Hyper-V
Demonstrates Microsoft’s commitment to Interoperability!

Heterogeneous Data Center
Management Challenges
Heterogeneous data centers often require
separate tools for management and
monitoring:
Each tool may require unique IT skills
Using multiple monitoring tools can increase
security risk and potential system failure
Interrupted services or failed servers take hours for
IT managers to locate, diagnose, and fix
Inefficient management tools prevent IT staff from
focusing on mission-critical business tasks
End to End Monitoring
Managing Mixed Server Environments
Availability, performance, and configuration monitoring
to proactively address IT issues
Monitor multiple platforms (e.g. Windows, Linux, and UNIX) for
both your physical and virtual servers
Proactively keep systems up and running with best-practice
knowledge on how to resolve problems
Allow configuration change monitoring by identifying
configuration errors and changes
Diagram data center operations and visualize status
Report on status of configuration and system issues affecting
availability, performance, and reliability
Deep application and service-level monitoring
Monitor service levels across applications and IT processes
through operational IT service views
Track and report service levels through dashboards
Extend to monitor non-Microsoft applications with partners
Guidance and best practice services to meet service-level goals
and improve IT productivity
