3. Today’s IT Challenges (1/2) Several Client Images to maintain… language, architecture (HAL), HW (drivers) or user role specific Engineering time for Integration of new Hardware Devices (drivers!) Software Distribution may be slow… Users have to call the IT Help Desk for New Software re-boot during the SW Installation slows down the user’s productivity “Applications don’t follow Users…” Flexible Worstyle or “free seating” approach Missing Self-Servicing Portals for Apps…

4. Today’s IT Challenges (2/2) Several Distribution Tools & Channels Security Hotfix, Service Pack & Patch Management (aka WSUS) Anti-Virus & Anti-Malware Solutions (aka McAfee Epo) Physical Software Installations (.msi) by Columbus, Altiris, Marimba etc. Virtual Software Installations (e.g. App-V, Altiris, InstallFree etc.) High Complexity of the Client Environment Different Responsibilities and Instances Users think: “Who can help solve my challenges…?” How long does it take to fix / install / deploy it…?

5. Application Virtualization Benefits Build a single core image for the whole Company Conflict Resolution by “Application Isolation” Side-by-Side Installations possible & Runtime Conflict remediation Rapid Change- & Release Management Rapid Software Distribution (Package Upgrade & Downgrade) Isolation helps reducing testing efforts! Simplified Software Distribution Use the same SW Package on WinXP, Win7 x86, Win7 x64 and TS! use streaming and/or.msi Packages distributed by SCCM “User Settings Roaming” and Reset per Application

6. Desktop Architecture Transformation Today: Desktop environment layers are bound together and tightly coupled, making hardware & software difficult & expensive to replace. Applications Data, User Settings Operating System Hardware App-V, RDS MED-V, VDI, RDS Thin Client, Desktop, Laptop Thin Client, Desktop, Laptop Offline Folders, Folder Redirection User Profiles Offline Folders, Folder Redirection User Profiles Operating System Hardware Data, User Settings To Transformation Roadmap: Decouple layers and manage them independently Centralize user data to datacenter Thin client enablement Images – standard, global, locked down Cloud enabled Lower TCO Better Agility, higher Security Better user experience Applications

17. What is Server App-V? Technology that enables virtualization of Server Applications Ships as a feature of System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM) 2012

18. What Problems Does Server App-V Solve? “My team tells me we have a 146 page application install guide” “When I move my application from Dev to Test to Staging to Production, it’s NEVER the same experience and frequently error-prone” “It takes a long time and a lot of effort to push out OS patches or Application upgrades” “Virtual Machines helped reduce my hardware costs – but I still need to pay the cost of deploying and servicing each node individually”

19. Server App-V - Key Scenarios Application Sequencing Create configurable application images from app installers or installation procedures Application Deployment Deploy and configure applications in a reliable and repeatable way Application Management Manage Server App-V apps like natively installed apps Application Servicing Easily update applications that have previously been deployed Image Based OS Servicing Allow lab-based updating of the underlying operating system without losing deployed application state

20. How Does Server App-V Work? Through the sequencing process, server applications are converted to images, which can be copied and started without installation Application configuration and locally persisted state are separated from the underlying operating system Manage the application See the services, the web sites

21. How Does it Solve these Problems? Image Creation Server Application Services (IIS, Windows Services) Resources (COM, COM+, DCOM, Java, WMI, SSRS, Local Users and Groups, Environment Variables, Performance Counters) Configuration (Registry, Files) Sequencer Server App-V Package SFT Package file Package Manifest Configuration

22. How Does it Solve these Problems? Declarative Deployment and Instance-specific Configuration Server App-V Package Application Instance SAV Agent Application Instance SAV Agent Configuration A Configuration B

23. Application OS How Does it Solve the Problem? State Management Operations Backup State Application OS State Restore State State

24. Application Compatibility

25. Supported Virtualization Subsystems Server App-V has expanded virtualization support Hosts Windows Services IIS Applications Resources COM+/DCOM Text-based config WMI providers SSRS Local users and groups Env variables Performance Counters Other Registry COM Java.Net State persisted to local disk
