LoB Application The Not a decision of EITHER The -- or -- On Premise is an alternative delivery mechanism for applications, platform, and infrastructure Most organizations are settling on a Hybrid approach (some on-premise / some in the cloud). This satisfies the need for lowering costs and simplifying IT with cloud computing where it makes sense, and maintaining on-premise services when cloud does not meet the organization s needs

2 Organization Want (Need) a Simpler, Integrated Solution Virtualization is Not Enough = Enterprise Data Centers Are Evolving Consumerization Any device computing (desktop, laptop, tablet, mobile phone, thin client ) Any make, model, brand or endpoint OS (Windows, Mac, Linux, ios, Android, etc ) Mix of business and personal use on an endpoint device A Single View of Physical, Virtual, and Public and Private s PUBLIC User shouldn t have to care where their information resides Data should reside where it makes most economical and business sense for the organization (ie: Public cloud or Private cloud) IT needs to be able to manage and support properties regardless where it resides (single view for all servers, data, and devices anytime, anywhere) Identity Virtualization PRIVATE Development Traditional Data Center Highly Virtualized Data Center

4 FEDERATED IDENTITY AD to the cloud federation for single sign-on User benefits Same identity on-premises and in the cloud No need to manage separate passwords Administrator benefits No sign-on application to manage across desktops Security control retained over user accounts No changes to enterprise deployment of AD Users are authenticated by local Geneva server Supports multi-factor authentication for OWA Allows you to customize the login page for webbased applications Addressing Security, Compliance Policies, IT Unification by doing things like joining Macs to Active Directory Why? Same reason we setup Active Directory (or prior to that Novell Netware, Banyan Vines, Windows NT networks) long ago in the first place, to centralize logons / passwords / access Active Directory password policies can apply to Mac users just like Windows users (ie: change every 30-days, force upper/lower case, force complex passwords, etc) User logs on to Active Directory so they don t need to enter in credentials to access drive shares, printers, single sign-on With 3 rd party plug-ins, IT can push down policies, patches and updates, software/apps, lock down systems, wipe systems. Joining a Mac to Active Directory (con t) Specific Settings: Outlook 2011 for Mac Same Look and Feel (and better compatibility) Mac Integration Workshop: (2-1/2 hrs of online content) Configurable to access Exchange (2003 / 2007 / 2010) Same look / features / options as Outlook for Windows Proven to provide best native Mac support to Exchange Blog Post: Native Lync Client for the Mac Instant Messaging, Presence, Web Conferencing, Voice over IP (Telephony), Video Conferencing, etc Tight SharePoint Integration with Macs Office 2011 for Mac has the added benefit of being able to work within Office and never have to go to the Web UI Native support for Microsoft Rights Services (RMS) for document encryption / protection

5 Connecting ipads, iphones, Android, Blackberry devices to a Microsoft-based Environment Supporting Enterprisewide Mobile Device Mgmt Enforce same corporate security / compliance policies to mobile devices as are on PCs, Laptops, etc Inventory, patch, and update mobile devices to maintain device consistency and security compliance Encrypt device and/or data to provide data leak protection and compliance notifications in case of a compromise of a device Minimize data corruption and quirks by maintaining consistent / known standards of applications on end point devices Public Experience is Built into Windows Server 8 Where do you to start? With Windows Server 8, you can: Scale and secure workloads & build a private cloud Efficiently manage infrastructure All About the App Where are you headed? Build on an open and scalable web platform Support mobile and flexible workstyle Cross-Platform from the Metal Up Best-In-Class Performance On Your Terms How do you know when you get there? Take what you did 5-years ago and remember why you did it (security, policies, standardization, compliance, management) Step forward to today where you have a broader range of devices (Macs, ipads, tablets, BYOD, etc) Apply the same standards to the current environment (attempting to do as much as you can with a single solution instead of multiple solutions) Apply a cloud-based solution if the cloud offering does it better / cheaper / smarter than doing the same thing on-premise Continue to evaluate technology offerings to evolve your IT strategy over time Questions?
