Agenda One Consistent Cloud Platform Windows Server 2016 and Intel Technology Intel® Xeon® Processor SQL Server Refresh Summary

One Consistent Platform across Clouds Intel and Microsoft are accelerating the adoption of SDI Public Cloud Intel® architecture Microsoft Azure* Azure* Virtual Machines Private Cloud Intel® architecture Microsoft SQL Server* Microsoft* System Center Windows Server* Provider-Hosted Cloud Intel® architecture Microsoft SQL Server* Microsoft* System Center Windows Server*

Windows Server 2016 & Intel® Technology Better Together 4 Ways … Resilient Compute Simplified virtualization upgrades, new installment options for stability and agility Simplified Networking A core set of capabilities and SDN architecture directly from Azure straight to the data center Cost-Effective Storage Full, enterprise-class tiered storage optimized for virtualization Extended Security Hardware-assisted security to address emerging threats, control privileged access, and protect VMs … all integrated to support a software-defined infrastructure (SDI)

Resilient Compute Intel® Xeon® Processor E5-2600 v4 Features Optimized for Windows Server* 2016 Intel® Advanced Vector Extensions 2 (Intel® AVX2) accelerates clock cycles for greater performance Hardware P-States (HWP) for power savings and reduced peak thermal load Up to 1.5x more business requests per second for peak times1 1. Up to 1.5x more transactions per second comparing Intel® Server with two Intel® Xeon® processor E5-2697 v2 and 256GB Memory (source: Intel® Technical Report #27) to an Intel® Server with two Intel® Xeon® processor E5-2699 v4 and 512GB Memory (Source: Intel® Technical Report #2372). Baseline configuration ran Microsoft SQL Server* 2012 EE, and Microsoft Windows Server* 2012 SE; the upgraded configuration ran Microsoft SQL Server* 2016 RTM and Microsoft Windows Server* 2016 Technical Preview 5.

Software Defined Networking Capabilities Pooled resources to help IT organizations overcome complexity and meet growing demand Centralized resource management Enables new levels of efficiency, flexibility and scalability by moving network control from hardware to software Helps IT provision new applications faster Provides an isolated infrastructure for multiple tenants New networking solutions are a top priority for many IT organizations:1 29% said network virtualization would be one of their key initiatives for 2015 16% specified SDN as a key implementation target that same year 1. 2015 Purchase Intentions Survey, TechTarget, December 2014, SDN and Virtualization Top the List: 2015 Networking Priorities New Choices

Software-Defined Storage The Benefits of Software-Defined Storage Move control away from expensive, proprietary hardware to a flexible, scalable alternative. Adapt to changing needs rapidly with automation and policy-based frameworks Achieve high availability and performance with less friction Storage Spaces Direct (S2D) pools local storage for scalable server clusters NVMe*-based Intel® SSD Data Center Family for PCIe* and Intel® Xeon® processors work together to speed up IOPS for more performance, less latency9 Simplifies resource provisioning and management Scalable and flexible for Hyper-V* and private cloud workloads

Enhanced Security To Protect Virtual Machines To Protect Credentials Shielded VMs – Use BitLocker* for encryption, Intel Xeon Processor E5 v4 supports TMP 2.0 for maximum security Host Guardian Service – Attests to host health Hyper-V* for containerized applications – Bolster IT efficiency and flexibility with faster deployment Generation 2 VMs – Support enhanced virtual hardware security To Protect Credentials Credential Guard – Protect stored credentials “Just enough” administration – Limits administrative privileges “Just in time” administration – Controlled access Intel® Secure Key for high-quality security keys Intel® AES New Instructions (Intel® AES-NI) and new crypto acceleration

Windows Server* 2016 and Intel® Technology Optimized for Software-defined Infrastructure Resilient Compute Simplified Networking Cost effective Storage Enhanced Security The gold standard for SDI: Intel® Technologies and Intel® Xeon® processors
