11. Operational Efficiency and Reduced Costs How we have helped others Reduced wide area network (WAN) traffic by up to 50 percent Improved file replication speeds by up to 400 times

12. Security and Reliability Your situation What are your most pressing security concerns? Who determines branch security policy? How are you addressing business continuity? How often do your branches face outages?

13. Security and Reliability How we can help Align security priorities. Implement best practices. Assess performance requirements. Analyze capacity requirements.

14. Security and Reliability Our solution expertise Branch site user and data autonomy More secure connections Greater security through patching

15. Security and Reliability Branch site user and data autonomy Microsoft Active Directory ® Domain Services Loss of connectivity between branch and central locations no longer impacts the ability of branch users to authenticate and access services Improved system performance and robustness over unreliable WANs Active Directory Domain Services Partitions Prioritize replication Control scope Control placement Group Policy and Active Directory Domain Services

16. Security and Reliability More secure connections through ISA Server Filtering Packet filtering Stateful filtering Application layer filtering IPSec and VPN Remote VPN Enhanced firewall protection

17. Security and Reliability Greater security through patching Systems Management Server (SMS) 2003 Accurate monitoring Patch scheduling Patch prioritizing “SMS makes sending a package automatic. We choose the computer from the inventory, right-click to distribute the software, go through the wizard, and within two or three minutes, SMS has distributed the software, and the user can start working. The IT staff doesn’t have to go on-site, and there’s no interruption of service to the end user.” —Jed Dunn, Communications Engineer at Aquila

18. Security and Reliability How we have helped others Provided a holistic approach that integrates policy with procedures Developed business continuity planning and support Streamlined system management operations

19. Accelerate Information Your situation Are your branch workers less productive due to communication problems? What are your performance priorities? What challenges do you face in coordinating information flow? Do your people have timely information to make better decisions and support your customers?

20. Accelerate Information How we can help Deliver information to the right people at the right time, regardless of their location. Increase communication efficiency and file management. Enhance the end user’s experience and efficiency at your branch offices.

21. Accelerate Information Our solution expertise Uninterrupted branch office service High-performance WAN connectivity

22. Accelerate Information Uninterrupted branch office service Windows Server 2003 R2 Single server Service Virtualized Dedicated Local replicas of remote data Failover with failback capabilities Once the local branch server is up, users are automatically connected back to their branch server. Microsoft Virtual Server resumes applications in downtime.

23. Accelerate Information High-performance WAN connectivity Bandwidth throttling and replication scheduling Each user saved 7.6 hours a year on replication.* Each user saved 2.3 hours a year on restoring files.* Each user saved 5.6 hours a year on installation.* Configurable Internet access rules and spam filtering One company’s example  30 messages a day, 5 seconds to read and delete  7,500 employees working at an average of $14.42 per hour  Approximately $90,000 per month or $1,080,000 per year *From Addressing Operational Efficiencies in Branch Offices, IDC, May 2006.
