2 Overarching Release Principles Strong emphasis on hardware, driver and application compatibility Goal to support Windows Server 2008 compatible applications, plus certified drivers and hardware Take advantage of anticipated hardware advances Multicore, >64 processors, power management Respond to important developments in the near-term server landscape Virtualization, power management, server management Lay the foundation for the next major release of Windows VHD boot, state separation, automation, SaaS, componentization & layering, app model Seek engineering efficiencies via resource alignment with Windows client Unified release focus across Client, Server and COSD should drive up dev efficiencies Power Virtualization Multi/Many-core 64-Bit

3 For businesses focused on providing their organizations with innovative capabilities at the lowest cost, Windows Server 2008 R2 provides the most productive and cost-effective server platform because it offers low-cost virtualization, power saving capabilities, and a superior experience for end users. Virtualization Consolidate more servers while maintaining virtual machine availability, so users remain productive and protected from disruptions. Management Quickly and easily manage servers locally or remotely; with the GUI or at the command line. Save energy with improved power profiles & policies for servers and clients. Web Deploy and manage scalable and reliable Web applications and services more easily on a streamlined platform Solid Foundation for Enterprise Workloads Scalability and Reliability Better Together with Windows 7 Deploy only the features you choose, and scale these solutions to meet the needs of your organization. Improve productivity together with Windows 7 to enable staff to work more effectively in branch offices, on the road, or at home.

4 Extending Functionality IIS 7.5 Web Streamlined installation for reducing attack surface Simplified administration through variety of tools IIS7 Extensions ASP.NET on Server Core Upgraded file transfer services New Request filter module

5 Live Migration Virtual Overview Live-migration of VMs between servers with no loss of service Clustered Shared Volumes facilitates LM Benefits No dropped network connections Leverages Failover Clustering Enables dynamic IT environment How 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

6 Hyper-V 2.0 Feature Overview Virtual Logical Processor Support Support for 32 logical processors on host computer Hot Add/Remove Storage Add and remove VHD disks to a running VM without requiring a reboot Second Level Translation (SLAT) Leverage new processor features to improve performance and reduce load on Windows Hypervisor Boot from VHD Allows any VHD to work on physical hardware

7 Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008 R2 Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008 R2 Beta contains the same virtualization feature-set as Hyper-V that is part of Windows Server 2008 R2 Beta. Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008 R2 now includes: Failover Clustering: With Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008 R2 Beta, host clustering technology is included to enable support for unplanned downtime. Live migration: Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008 R2 includes support for live migration. Live migration enables customers to move running applications between servers without service interruptions. Processor and memory support: Support up to 8-socket physical systems and provides support for up to 32-cores. Up to 1TB of RAM on a physical system. Updated Hyper-V Configuration Utility New configuration options have been added for R2 Beta including: Remote Management Configuration Failover Clustering Configuration Additional options for Updates

8 Improving Remote Desktop Virtual Terminal Services now renamed Remote Desktop Services User Experience Per-user personalization Enhanced user interface Enriched multimedia and graphics Improved audio and video synchronization Multi-monitor support Management Integration with Server Manager Command-line and automated management

9 Maintaining Compatibility Virtual Desktop Infrastructure Virtual Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) components: Remote Desktop Services System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 Windows 7 feed subscriptions

10 Virtualization & Remote Desktop Services

11 Management Mgmt Enhancing power management Improving remote administration Increasing automation Improving identity management Increasing compliance with best practices

12 Enhancing Power Management Mgmt Core Parking Adjusting P-states Boot from SAN

13 Improving Remote Administration Mgmt Management console Server Manager Active Directory Administrative Center Internet Information Service Hyper-V Improvements Provides support for remote management of computers Improved integration with many role and role services management consoles Based on administrative capabilities provided by PowerShell cmdlets Task driven user interface Based on administrative capabilities provided by PowerShell cmdlets Task driven user interface New VM management consoles Updated SCVMM

14 Increasing Automation PowerShell 2.0 Mgmt Improved remote management Improved security for managed data Enhanced GUI Extended scripting functionality Improved portability

15 Active Directory Domain Services Mgmt New Active Directory Domain Services management console PowerShell integration Recovery of deleted objects New AD Recycle Bin Improved process for joining domains Offline domain join Improved management of user accounts and identity svcs Managed service accounts Improved Active Directory Federated Services Authentication assurance

16 Active Directory Management

17 Increasing Compliance Mgmt Integrated Best Practice Analyzer Validates configuration information Enhances infrastructure reliability Improves compliance with service level agreements

18 Scalability and Reliability Scalable, Reliable Run the largest workloads and fully utilize multicore servers with a single WSS08R2 server instance Get standard workloads to function with fewer locks and greater parallelism Support more than 64 processor cores for a single OS instance OS Componentization Support more roles and broaden current role support (e.g., the addition of ASP.net within IIS) PowerShell scripting in Server Core.NET framework on Server core, which in turn should drive app support Improvements to Failover Clustering Better Server Workload and Scaling Improvements to Enterprise Storage

19 Improving Network Storage Enhanced Performance Reduced processor requirement for wirespeed Optimized NTIO Load balancing for up to 32 paths Improved iscsi connection Storage subsystem optimization Faster Chkdsk Scalable, Reliable

20 Improving Network Storage Increased Availability Load-balancing policies Multiple paths to storage Enabling failover Configuration snapshots Version capture Enabling storage system quick restore Scalable, Reliable

21 Better Together with Windows 7 Better DirectAccess Remote computing gets invisible BranchCache Remote file access is faster and thinner Improving virtual desktop integration Desktop feeds Tight client OS integration Better security BitLocker to Go Offline Files

22 DirectAccess Allows access to resources on Corporate network without the need to establish a VPN connection. Invisible to end users. Two basic DA scenarios, including (1) Seamless VPN deployment scenario:

23 DirectAccess (cont.) (2) Routed VPN deployment scenario:

24 BranchCache Better Reduces Wide Area Network (WAN) link utilization Two deployment models: Peer Branch Cache Server Branch Cache HTTP, SMB and BITS protocols are optimized Supports end-to-end encryption between clients and servers Completely transparent to the user

25 Improving Branch Performance Distributed Mode Better Hash Data 2. Second client downloads identifiers from main office server Data 1. First client downloads data from main office server 3. Second client searches local network for data and downloads from first client

26 Improving Branch Performance Hosted Cache Better 3. Second client downloads identifiers from main office server Hash Data 4. Second client downloads from hosted cache. Data 1. First client downloads data from main office server 2. Hosted cache pulls content from first client.

27 Improving Virtual Desktop Integration Better Desktop and application feeds: Users subscribe to RemoteApp programs Programs appear in the Start Menu Enables access to previous operating systems Support for managed and unmanaged computers Single sign-on
