Customers continue to tell us they want regular, compatible, and consistent server releases with great targeted innovationOur roadmap anticipates 2-4 year cadence of Windows Server releases

Each major update followed by a minor “R2” update (e.g., Windows Server 2003, followed by WS 2003 R2; Windows Server 2008, followed by WS 2008 R2)R2 strategy enables release refinement and delivery of high value feature enhancements, while enabling Windows to adapt more quickly to changing industry landscape (e.g., hardware advances, new paradigms, etc.) Optional nature of R2 releases give IT the flexibility to leverage the latest server technology without feeling forced to upgrade their entire infrastructure

Of note with R264-Bit only release2nd time client and server jointly developed

1. Strong emphasis on hardware, driver and application compatibility

Goal to support Windows Server 2008 compatible applications, plus certified drivers and hardware

2. Take advantage of anticipated hardware advancesMulticore, >64 processors, power management

3. Respond to important developments in the server landscape

Virtualization, power management, server management

4. Lay the foundation for the next major release of WindowsComponentization, automation, SaaS

5. Seek engineering efficiencies with Windows client Unified release focus across Client and Server drive up efficiencies

OverviewLive-migration of VMs between servers with no loss of serviceClustered Shared Volumes facilitates LM

BenefitsNo dropped network connectionsLeverages Microsoft Failover Clustering Enables dynamic IT environmentHow

SCVMM is recommended and can provide additional Live Migration management and orchestration scenarios such as Live Migration via policy

Moving from Quick to Live Migration:

Changes to VMs: No

Changes to Storage infrastructure: No

Changes to Network Infrastructure: No

Update to Hyper-V 2.0 : Yes

Quick Migration(Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V)

1. Save statea) Create VM on the target

b) Write VM memory to shared storage

2. Move virtual machinea) Move storage connectivity from

source host to target host via Ethernet

3. Restore state & Runa) Take VM memory from shared

storage and restore on Target

b) Run

Live Migration(WS08R2 Hyper-V)

1. VM State/Memory Transfera) Create VM 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 & Run

Building on the solid architecture of Hyper-V

Key Improvements

Support for 32 logical processors on host computer

Second Level Translation (SLAT) – Uses new processor enhancements to improve perf and reduce load on the hypervisor

Hot Add/Remove Storage - Add and remove VHD disks to a running VM without requiring a reboot

Boot from VHD - Allows any VHD to work on physical hardware

Enable greater server consolidation, dynamic data center, and Virtualized Desktop (VDI) scenarios

Key ImprovementsTS and VDI – An Integrated Solution

Single broker to connect users to sessions or virtual machines, out of the box solution for VDI scenarios with Hyper-V

Improving the User Experience Experience rich multimedia, VoIP integration, aero glass remoting, true multi-monitor support

RemoteApp & Desktop (RAD) connectionsCentrally hosted applications integrated into start menu and desktop

Improved Management ToolsetReduce repetitive task with TS Powershell support, improved application install, connection broker install & profile management

Platform InvestmentsMultiple levels of extensibility for custom partner solutions for Terminal Services & VDI based solutions

Windows Server 2008 R2 improves on management and data center automation – expanded surface area that can be managed with scripting

Key improvements

Remoteable Server Manager UI – runs R2 or Windows 7 clients

PowerShell 2.0 – new interface, 100’s of new cmdlets

Best Practices Analyzer integrated into Server Manager

Easier migration of roles and core server settings from WS03/WS08 to Windows Server 2008 R2

Cmdline solution or role-specific migration tools to migrate AD, DHCP, DNS and File and Print roles

Migration portal and step-by-step documentation for all roles

Improved Command-line shell & Scripting Language

Active DirectoryIIS Power Management One-to-many remote management using WS-MGMT

New Features

Graphical PowerShellPortabilityNew cmdlets

Improves on Windows Server 2008 Power Processor Management (PPM) capabilities

Key Improvements“Core parking” reduces multi-core power consumption

Centralized control of active power policies enable servers to “throttle-down” during off hours

More granular power controls – example:

New Logo Program with Power Additional Qualifier

“Better Together” leverages joint development efforts between Client and Server teams

Key ImprovementsDirect Access simplifies access to corporate resources for remote workers

BranchCache improves performance for branch scenarios

More granular client power management

BitLocker encryption on removable drives

Allows Windows 7 clients to access corporate resources without the need to establish a VPN connection

Simple user experience: plug in the network cable

• Caches http & SMB downloaded by users in the branch

• Users can quickly open files stored in the cache

• Frees up network bandwidth for other uses

• Application and data access over WAN is slow in branch offices

• Slow connections hurt user productivity

• Improving network performance is expensive and difficult to implement
