What is Virtualization? “a technique for hiding the physical characteristics of computing resources from the way in which other systems, applications, or end users interact with those resources” • Abstraction and Emulation • Virtual IP Address, Virtual Directory, SAN

Number of running VMs? User interface

DESKTOP/SESSION VIRTUALIZATION

Aren’t Desktop and Application Virtualization the same? Desktop Virtualization Execution occurs on the server No application client deployment: just UI is displayed on the client (RDP) Multiple isolated users per server Excellent for: Branch Office High Volume data applications Centralized desktop management Application Virtualization Execution occurs on the client Application still needs deployment to client Multiple isolated applications per client Excellent for: Reducing test matrix Concurrently running multiple versions of the same application Reducing application management

Terminal Server Technology Central Location Centralized Application Access App Deployment Branch Office Remote Access Compliance & Security Enabling Technologies in Longhorn TS Remote Programs TS Gateway SSO for managed clients TS ‘out of the box’ solution in “Longhorn” designed for low complexity scenarios. Branch Office Home Office Mobile Worker In Airport

TS Remote Programs Remoting just the application window, not complete desktop Locally executing application (IE 7)

TS Remote Programs Remoting just the application window, not complete desktop Remote Program; Outlook executing on Terminal Server

TS Gateway Architecture RDP hosts can now be put behind firewall HTTP/S used to traverse firewall AD / ISA / NAP checked before connection allowed New Remote Desktop Connection client required AD / IAS / NAP Desktops and apps are NOT hosted in IE TS Gateway Vista RDC (TS) client AD / IAS / NAP checked Terminal Servers or XP / Vista RDP over HTTP/S established User initiates HTTP/S connection to TS Gateway to host User browses to TS Web Access Internet DMZ Internal Network

Terminal Services Web Access provides simple web interface for launching applications. Terminal Services Gateway provides the transport to tunnel RDP, not Terminal Services Web Access

APPLICATION VIRTUALIZATION

Application Virtualization Most software is not designed to operate in a utility model State is “mixed-in” Reconfiguration is costly More and more software leads to unreliable desktops and massive test matrix Application Virtualization enables software to be managed independently and transformed without the need for source code

Applications are transformed into an image Operating System Application . VHD . SFT

Application Virtualization Traditional Layered Install Model Isolated Virtual Application Model

Soft. Grid: Application Virtualization Applications are virtualized per instance: Files (including System Files) Registry Fonts. ini COM/DCOM objects Services Semafores, Mutexes Name spaces Applications do not get installed or alter the operating system Yet tasks process locally on the host computer.

How Applications are Virtualized: The Soft. Grid Sequencer Wizard-based tool, virtualizes applications without changing source code Records an application’s configurations and dependencies then segments application code into a file Sequencer file is placed onto one or more Soft. Grid servers for ondemand deployment E. g. sequence Office in less than 15 mins, Word executes with 15 Mb download

The Soft. Grid: Architectural Overview

Microsoft Soft. Grid Availability Microsoft Soft. Grid 4. 1 for Windows Desktops • Available as a component of Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack for SA • Select, Open, EA Licensing • Does not include Soft. Grid CAL for Terminal Services Soft. Grid Application Virtualization for Terminal Services • • Available in same channels as Terminal Services CAL Soft. Grid for Terminal Services licensed as CAL Terminal Services CAL still required Does not include Soft. Grid for Desktops • Can be used in conjunction with Soft. Grid for Desktops; both share infrastructure)

VIRTUAL MACHINE MANAGEMENT AND TOOLS

System Center Virtual Machine Manager Physical resource optimization Simple identification of consolidation candidates Fast and reliable Physical to Virtual migration (P 2 V) Uses Volume Shadow Services Intelligent placement Placement is at the crux of maximizing the utilization of physical assets Centralized resource optimization Optimizing workloads for: Maximum number of virtual machines per servers Maximum dispersion across multiple servers

Virtual Machine Manager Rapid provisioning of new workloads Central library Self-service provisioning Industry standard storage architecture Employs distributed storage architecture on industry standard hardware and network infrastructure to use resources with optimal locality Host provisioning

Rapid Provisioning using Self-Service Portal: Customized to the User Ability to control owned virtual machines Thumbnails of all owned virtual machines

Centralized Management: Views, Views and More Views By Resource Pool By VM State By Owner By Creation Date By Operating System
