SITUATION TODAY • Server Sprawl • Difficult management of high-density VM sites • Limited hardware resources per VMs • Lack of unified virtualization architecture • Limited VM client support and Difficult end-to-end management WINDOWS SERVER 2008 R2 With virtualization, we will save about 50 percent of our annual energy budget for cooling and electricity. Virtualization saves us on hardware and labor. We also save on software licensing fees. And we can save money by creating and managing virtual test environments for some applications with our development group. - LukOil Oil Company

SITUATION TODAY WINDOWS SERVER 2008 R2 REDUCE MANAGE RETHINK • Built in energy efficiency • Centralize control • Increase productivity • Resource optimization • Analyze operations and reduce footprint • Guidance and education • Monitor goals • Lead by example Over time, however, the company expects to benefit from reduced power consumption and costs. “Because of our size, we can realize significant gains by managing power more efficiently,” says Buckingham. “The electricity billing in our data centers is based on metered power, and we can reduce our monthly bills if we control power consumption with Windows Server 2008 R2.” - MySpace.com

SITUATION TODAY WS08R2/ W7 SOLUTION • Application and data access over • Caches content downloaded from WAN is slow in branch offices file and Web servers • Slow connections hurt user • Users in the branch can quickly productivity open files stored in the cache • Improving network performance is • Frees up network bandwidth for expensive and difficult to implement other uses Using the BranchCache™ features in Windows Server® 2008 R2 and Windows 7, CCO has simplified remote connection to its network and speed the downloading of important files. It has cut costs by eliminating its virtual private network and has seen a 43 percent savings in wide area network (WAN) bandwidth. - Convergent Computing

R2samemultipurposeoften “R2's market advantage Score many PDC - 151 is a box. It's not server, so you can deploy virtual machines and at other services in the that I find myself so excited about a server OS, far less an r2 release of an existing one, but R2 is a special case. I predict many businesses will feel the same way.” Mario Morejon, PC Mag Outstanding Reviews “Microsoft has put significant resources into improving the product so much that calling it a “Release 2” version is arguably a mistake – Microsoft should call the product Windows Server 7." Over 200,000 Eval downloads eWeek Channel Insider, Frank Ohlhorst "Microsoft is also ready to start talking performance for the first time and Microsoft has a 700,000 page views compelling story to tell there." Jason Perlow, ZDNet “In R2, Hyper-V inches up ever closer to VMWare's market dominant Infrastructure 3. In fact, the newest Hyper-V closes the gap in live server migration. Just like VMWare's Sphere VMotion technology, R2's Hyper-V can do live migration of virtual servers, and it's free with your Server 2008 license, whereas VMotion costs an additional $6,958.” Mario Morejon, PC Mag “Windows Server 2008 R2 is evolving into the stealth Server release of the decade, a seemingly minor update that, in fact, adds almost as much new functionality as its predecessor." Paul Thurrott, Windows SuperSite
