12. 3 Reasons to Choose Microsoft 1. Heterogeneous Management Platform: Virtual Machine Manager Data Protection Manager Operations Manager Configurations Manager 2. Integration into your infrastructure: Same Look and feel Windows GUI Strategic advantage 3. Organisational reach: Larger installed base community Larger partner community

13. 2 More Reasons to Choose Microsoft 1. Simplicity of Hypervisor: Monolithic versus MicroKernal Smaller – less drivers More Secure – no 3rd party code 2. Total Cost of Ownership (Price!): TCO for machines – if virtualizing a Microsoft environment then some excellent licensing deals TCO for applications – application packaging versus virtualisation History will repeat itself…. Novell Netware Citrix Terminal Server VMware?

14. What Problems can this fix? Problem – Travelling VIPs with legacy applications Solution – VDI and Application Virtualisation Problem – High number of physical servers, improved R&D and improved DR Solution – Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V Leading Utility Company

15. Anything Else? Problem – Need to Manage Heterogeneous Environment Solution – Implementation of Systems Center Suite Problem – Need to reduce TCO Solution – IO Study and undertaking a total Virtualisation Programme Global Legal Firm
