Challenges of Traditional Computing
Environments What Is Server Virtualization? What Is Desktop Virtualization? What Is Network Virtualization? What Is User State Virtualization? What Is Presentation Virtualization? What Is Application Virtualization? What Is Cloud Computing?
Challenges of Traditional Computing Environments

Traditional challenges: Space - Housing business equipment Power - Providing affordable power to run the server, storage and network equipment Cooling- Maintaining safe operating temperatures for equipment Resilience - Building robust and highly available solutions and offering a means to recover from failure Flexibility Providing the time to deliver or upgrade infrastructure and or applications Resources Maintaining staff to system ratios and meeting training challenges
What Is Server Virtualization?

Server virtualization: Create and run multiple computer operating systems on a single physical computer Host servers share resources with all virtual machines
Virtualization challenges: Limited amount of compute resources

Server virtualization features: Hyper-V server virtualization allows full utilization of physical resources, and provides advanced technology to create a more robust, available, and dynamic server computing environment

Type I Hypervisor

Server virtualization runs multiple virtual servers on a physical server
Network virtualization runs multiple virtual networks on a physical network
What Is User State Virtualization?

User state virtualization: Monitors the changes made to a user application and operating system settings Stores the settings centrally Provides a consistent experience for roaming users working from any device locally or remotely using VDI Works with locally installed applications, App-V applications, and RemoteApp applications
What Is User State Virtualization?

Application process
Settings location templates
UE-V agent
Registry
Settings storage location Local Files
Settings packages
Settings packages (Remote) available offline
What Is Presentation Virtualization?

Remote Desktop Services role and services RD Session Host RD Virtualization Host RD Connection Broker RD Services Licensing RD Services Web Access RD Services Gateway Common use cases for Presentation Virtualization Windows 2012 R2 Remote Desktop Services
features
What Is Application Virtualization?

App-V virtualizes applications by abstracting them
from the operating system App-V applications can appear to users as if they are installed locally App-V allows incompatible applications to run side-by-side on the same operating system
What Is Cloud Computing?

Cloud computing features: Public, private, and hybrid cloud SaaS PaaS IaaS Cloud computing benefits: Reduce computing costs Improve delivery times for infrastructure and application services Ensure availability of services Monitor performance of services

Logon Information Virtual machines: 20409A-LON-CL1, 20409A-LON-DC1 User name: Adatum\Administrator Password: Pa$$w0rd Estimated Time: Duration: 30 minutes
Lab Scenario
A. Datum Corporation is a medium-sized manufacturing company that has four subsidiaries. Each subsidiary has several hundred employees and its own data center. All subsidiaries are connected with high-speed network connections. A. Datum IT infrastructure uses only physical servers.
A. Datum is expanding rapidly. To provide greater flexibility and the capability to respond quickly to rapidly changing business environments, IT management has decided to virtualize many of the existing servers, and deploy as many new servers as possible as virtual machines. A. Datum is planning to adopt Hyper-V on Windows Server 2012 R2 as their virtualization platform. As a senior server administrator at A. Datum, you are responsible for planning and implementing the virtualized infrastructure. The first step in deploying the virtual environment is to analyze the current A. Datum IT infrastructure and identify the appropriate virtualization methods for different business requirements. In addition, you also need to evaluate the existing servers and identify which servers would be appropriate candidates for virtualization.
Lab Review
