© ExplorNet’s Centers for Quality Teaching and Learning 2 Virtualization Technology that creates an abstract version of a computer, including a processor, memory, storage, network links, a display, and so forth, entirely in software. Virtualization can be done on the standard desktop PC and centrally on more powerful servers.

© ExplorNet’s Centers for Quality Teaching and Learning 4 Virtual Computers vs. VMs In Microsoft terminology the term Virtual Computer may be used differently than in general conversation about virtualization. Virtual Computers in the MS realm An isolated guest operating system that runs on a VM within a normal host operating system. Virtual Machines (VMs) The software-created set of virtual hardware that links the Virtual Computer to the host OS or physical hardware.

Windows XP Mode An add-on that Microsoft makes available as an extension to Windows Virtual PC. Allows users to run applications that are incompatible with later versions of Windows.
6
© ExplorNet’s Centers for Quality Teaching and Learning 6 Virtualization on the Workstation Remote Desktop The technology that allows a computer (the client) to connect to a remote machine (PC or server) and run applications on the remote machine. Remote Desktop Service runs on the remote machine to provide a virtual user desktop for remote users. Administrators can manage user desktops and applications from a central location rather than at the physical client computer.
7
© ExplorNet’s Centers for Quality Teaching and Learning 7 More Powerful Virtualization Microsoft servers offer more powerful solutions through the use of: Hyper-V Microsoft’s Hypervisor App-V Application Virtualization VDI Virtual Desktop Infrastructure MED-V Microsoft Enterprise Desktop Virtualization
8
© ExplorNet’s Centers for Quality Teaching and Learning 8 Application Virtualization (App-V) App-V The ability to install and manage Windows XP apps and VMs from a centralized server. Makes migrating from XP to 7 or 8 much less difficult. Normally a VDI and the Med-V package are used to support the application virtualization.
9
© ExplorNet’s Centers for Quality Teaching and Learning 9 Application Virtualization (App-V) Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) An infrastructure that creates desktop operating systems running within virtual machines (VM) running on a server. Apps are run by end users from these virtual desktop OS’s. Everything is on centralized servers so going to each machine to install or change applications is no longer necessary.
10
© ExplorNet’s Centers for Quality Teaching and Learning 10 Application Virtualization (App-V) Microsoft Enterprise Desktop Virtualization (MED-V or Med-V) A way to deliver legacy applications to end users on centrally configured and managed VMs. Med-V adds the ability for App-V to appear seamless. To an end user, the icon on the desktop appears as if the application is locally installed. When the icon is clicked a Virtualized Client is launched.
11
© ExplorNet’s Centers for Quality Teaching and Learning 11 Application Virtualization (App-V) Virtualized Client A Virtual Computer set up with the purpose of running a specific application that is requested by the end user. Typically runs in an older version of Windows (2000 or XP).
12
© ExplorNet’s Centers for Quality Teaching and Learning 12 Application Virtualization Summary App-V permits users to launch and run applications on their desktops without installing or rebooting their machines. App-V technology makes applications instantly available through System Center and special centralized configuration and management utilities (Med-V). A VDI makes delivery of VMs and virtual applications possible.
