  3. Engineering roadmap alliance Customer services Product qualification Joint Alliance Management Activities Professional services Solution development Customer engagement EMC/Microsoft Alignment Areas • “EMC has gone beyond standard integration to take a broad and active approach to support and optimize Microsoft technologies including Windows, Microsoft Exchange Server and Hyper-V.” • The Clipper Group

  4. End-to-End Capabilities for Microsoft Tiered/ Unified Storage Backup, Recovery, Archive Enterprise Content Management Virtual Infrastructure Business Continuity Security EMC Consulting Services Strategize • Advise • Architect • Implement • Manage • Support EMC Information Infrastructure EMC helps you successfully plan, design, deploy and manage your Microsoft applications and platforms

  5. EMC Value Points for Hyper-V • Storage Management and Optimization • PowerPath Virtual Edition • EMC Storage Integrator (ESI) • Powershell Toolkit Storage Provisioning • -VNX\Unisphere Hyper-V wizards • Backup and Recovery • Hyper-V Parent & Child Protection • Applications running in VMs • Data Deduplication • Business Continuity • Local & Remote Replication • Support for Cluster Shared Volumes • Storage Federation • Proven Solutions Application Integration • SQL, SharePoint, Exchange, VDI

  6. Storage Ports Parent Server Parent Server PowerPath PowerPath Storage Performance ManagementPowerPath/VE Maintain predictable performance even when: • Workloads are dynamic and exhibit I/O bursts • Virtual machines are moved, added and/or removed on the fly • I/O Channels go offline (planned or unplanned) • Migration Enabler • Encryption All channels are active and used to load balance

  7. Storage Provisioning …today Multiple points of management for provisioning • Array Management Tools • Windows Server Manager • Failover Cluster Manager • Hyper-V Manager • iSCSI Initiator/ FC Switch

  8. EMC Storage Integrator (ESI) • Storage Provisioning for Windows Servers • Application aware Storage Provisioning • Windows MMC based • Agent less architecture • Supports all EMC arrays • Block and File support Easy to use MMC Snap-ins for the Server/Application Admin

  9. EMC Support for Powershell EMC Powershell Toolkit • Powershell commands to automate storage functions such as.. • Create new storage volumes • Create and assign LUNs • Provide server access to LUNs • Create snapshots • Remove volumes, LUNs, snaps

  10. Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V Backup proxy server Centralized Data Mover Physical server MOUNT SAN storage Backup/Recovery Solution • Parent Backup & Recovery: • Complete protection of VHD files • Traditional and deduplication backup • Off-host backup • No scripting • Broad Hyper-V OS support • Windows Server 2008 with Hyper-V, Windows Server 2008 Server Core with Hyper-V, Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008 • Child Backup & Recovery: • Application-aware backups for Exchange, SQL, SharePoint, etc. with application log management • Persistent snapshot for quick recoveries • In-guest source deduplication drives maximum performance

  11. Disaster Recovery for Hyper-VAutomated failover operations for Hyper-V environments Prod 2 Prod 1 Target 2 Target 1 Cluster nodes with RecoverPoint/CE installed LAN/WAN Private Interconnect Site A Site B Majority Node Set with File Share Witness RecoverPoint Hyper-V with Failover Clusters supports up to 8 nodes with Windows 2008 R2

  12. Hyper-V Live Migration with VPLEX • Create VPLEX distributed volume from storage at both sites • Provision VPLEX distributed volume to servers at both sites • In Hyper-V, move VMs between sites using Live Migration VM Mobility Over Distance Without Delay Hyper-V Cluster Hyper-V Cluster Distributed Storage VPLEX Cluster-1 • VPLEX Cluster-2 Site 1 Site 2 VPLEX Engines feature high performance multi-core Intel Xeon processors

  13. EMC System Center Management Packs • Single tool for physical and virtual servers • Top to bottom management of infrastructure • Provide SAN visualization, health monitoring, and drill down within SCOM

  14. System Center Operations Manager Management Packs • Combine SCOM discovery and monitoring with standards based management management • Provide SAN visualization, health monitoring, and drill down within SCOM

  15. EMC PRO Management Pack

  16. Virtualized Sharepoint Server Managing Binary Large Objects (BLOBs) EMC Proven Solution Powered by Intel® Xeon® Processor Technology • Solution Components: • Windows 2008 R2 Server with Hyper-V in a Microsoft Failover Cluster for High-Availability • EMC VNX5300 storing Sharepoint databases, index files, snapshots, Hyper-V VHDs and BLOB storage • MetaLogixStoragePoint software to schedule and move BLOB content as it ages to more cost effective storage. • Benefits: • Moved 92% of aged data from primary databases to higher capacity storage. • Increased useable capacity without impacting performance. • Simplified management by virtualizing Sharepoint and Metalogix servers with Microsoft Hyper-V

  17. Solution Components: Virtual Servers hosted on Cisco UCS B200 Server Platform hosting more than 30,000 Exchange 2010 mailboxes (10,000 per site) Replication provided by Exchange Database Availability Groups Virtualization using Microsoft Hyper-V supporting 24 Virtual Machines Exchange Thin Provisioned LUNs provided by EMC NS480 Configurations validated and supported by Microsoft Multi-Site, Virtualized Exchange 2010 Solution EMC Proven Solution Powered by Intel® Xeon® Processor Technology Virtualized Exchange 2010 Virtualized Exchange 2010 Virtualized Exchange 2010 Microsoft program to test virtualized Exchange 2010 configurations with Hyper-V Cisco UCS B Series Cisco UCS B Series Cisco UCS B Series Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 Database Availability Groups EMC Unified Storage EMC Unified Storage EMC Unified Storage

  18. Virtualized SQL Server 2008 with EMC VNX EMC Proven Solution Powered by Intel® Xeon® Processor Technology • Solution Components: • Test SQL Server 2008 in a physical and virtual configuration to compare results • Use features found in EMC VNX5700 for improving performance with SQL Server OLTP databases such as EMC FAST Cache. • Benefits: • Due to the performance of the EMC VNX array, 1,448 transactions per second (TPS) were achieved. • When using Hyper-V Pass Through there was only a slight change in performance with still over 1,300 TPS achieved. • When using VNX FAST Cache performance was increased by over 300%!

  19. Solution Components: FibreChannel (FC) SAN connectivity between the hosts and the EMC storage for optimal performance. Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) and virtual local area network (VLAN) connections for maximum performance and to eliminate network bottlenecks. All virtual machine files are stored on the EMC Unified storage array. Storage allocation for desktops is based on a 1+1 RAID 1 building block supporting up to 100 virtual desktops per building block. Target of large customer environments with maximum shared storage capacities of 120 disks and 64TB.
