Program details
Virtualization Scenarios in HostingShared Hosting Better isolation for websites
Adding more capacity in a shared farm
Dedicated Hosting Self managed, delegated virtual instances Retire old hardware using virtualization Consolidate low end servers with fewer machines
VPS Hosting Fill the gap between Shared and Dedicated scenarios Upsell Memory, CPU
Managed Hosting Backup and Restore Business Continuity Test/Dev Environments
Microsoft’s Value Proposition Integration
A feature of the OS, not a feature trying to be the OS
Trusted Component of a Trusted Platform
Management
Extend your existing management tools to handle virtualization
Manage Virtual AND physical systems
Manage across multiple hypervisors and into applications
Why Microsoft?
Less expensive to acquire and license than the competition
Harness existing infrastructure and skills – no need to start over
Interoperability – with providers like Novell and XenSource
Microsoft Virtualization partners add extensibility and increased ROI
Hyper-V: Licensing
Free Licensed Guests with Hyper-VWindows Server 2008 Web
× No Licensed Guest
Windows Server 2008 Standard 1 Licensed Guest
Windows Server 2008 Enterprise Up to 4 Licensed Guests
Windows Server 2008 Datacenter As many Licensed Guests as
you can physically run
Small Print• Free = free, as
included in the price of the host OS with Hyper-V.
• But you can host as many VMs on any Windows Server 2008 that supports Hyper-V as you need. You just need to License above the ‘included’ free licenses.
