Talking Points: Title: Microsoft s Virtualization Solutions. [BUILD 1] So, the Microsoft Server Virtualization is really an end to end platform. It\u2019s a suite of products that really come together and come up with this concept of a dynamic data center. So managing not just a server but managing virtual machines, managing applications. So, obviously from the server virtualization platform up in the top right, we have virtual server 2005 R2 which is currently released and then also Windows Server 2008 and the hypervisor or Windows Server Virtualization. From the presentation virtualization, that would be where our terminal services and terminal services gateway mode really comes into play. [BUILD 2] That the ability to actually publish applications, publish them to secure sites on a terminal services infrastructure. So, it\u2019s UI rendering on the client and nothings actually getting loaded down to the client. [BUILD 3] Then of course, desktop virtualization and virtual pc\u2019s continuing as part of enterprise and ultimate virtual pc 2007 which is again the same kind of licensing structure as enterprise edition of server, so you would have a before guess? in virtual pc. [BUILD 4] And then of course, the final one would be the application virtualization. We acquired a company called Soft Grid and their product is called Softricity which really allows enterprises to actually publish applications in secure sandbox modes out to their employees. So, based upon group policy, you can actually determine which applications would appear as icons on the desktop. And, based on one of two delivery mechanisms, either streaming or full SMS dial up application delivery, the end user can then click on one of those applications in one of those virtual sandboxes. So, today, we\u2019re going to really focus on the infrastructure piece. So we\u2019re going to talk about the core windows server and in particular Windows Server 2008 and how that\u2019s really the central point. To give you an idea of why this is important to us and to some of our customers thinking about what\u2019s coming by the end of this year we\u2019re talking about eight way servers that would be in a 6 use spot today. 6U rack size, thinking about 8 cores in each of those CPUs. So, think about those 6 use and 64 way with close to 2 terabytes of ram. And think about all the blade servers that are coming. In a 1 use slot, you have dual core and quad core coming, so you have 16 U processing in a 1 blade. Microsoft is actually building on a data centre in Eastern Washington where it\u2019s the size of a Costco. For those of you to know that it\u2019s a pretty large warehouse here in the United States. That Costco would be full of servers and thinking about what we\u2019re going to do to optimize that space. Now virtualization is going to be a key part of that. This is something that has to happen and it\u2019s something that the industry needs and Microsoft needs and this is why the virtualization in WS 2008 is so important to us. Desktop Virtualization.
