5. Roll Out and Management of New Server Platform Presents Opportunities Scale Deploymentand Management Maximize Use of Datacenter Resources Reduce Costs

6. Driving Server Management Optimization AUTOMATION Lower costs of upgrade, deployment and management through automation of server and resource management OPTIMIZATION Optimize datacenter server infrastructure through unified physical and virtual management SIMPLIFICATION Increase simplicity through integrated, end-to-end Windows Server management

7. Automate Deployment And Management Of Servers Automation • Lower cost of enterprise scale deployment and management of Windows Server • Reduce errors with automated patchand configuration management -Steve Gray, Manager of Support Services, AGC Automotive -Rodney Orange Supervisor, Carnival Cruise Lines “ • Leverage existing tools, skills, and knowledge to automate server management Using System Center solutions, we’ve realized a 50 percent reduction in the overall time it takes to manage our data center “ Automation | Optimization | Simplification

8. Automating The Server Lifecycle With Best Practice Knowledge Upgrade and Deploy Manage and Optimize Assess Monitor Design and Build Policies, Knowledge and Best Practice Changeand Compliance Automation Automation Patch andUpdate Deploy Backup andRecovery Automation | Optimization | Simplification

9. Significant Cost Saving Opportunity for Server Management Automation • Opportunity to use same tools and practices from desktop management in server environment • Automated Server Deployment • Automated Patch • Automated Back and restore • Research shows opportunity to save an average of $2160 per server per year • Average automation practice adoption is only 30% • Automated server management not widely adopted Data derived from Microsoft “Spotlight on Cost” Server Study 2009 Automation | Optimization | Simplification

10. Automate Support for Server Compliance Automation • Lower cost of supporting and showing • server compliance in the datacenter • Provide comprehensive compliance • data and remediation across datacenter • fabric “ • Deliver unified, critical data for security, compliance, and management to operations staff “In today’s world, it’s important to have documented, followed processes for compliance auditing, including security and audit logs within Windows. [System Center’s] capabilities allow us to prevent unauthorized access attempts “ Automation | Optimization | Simplification -Tony Carnevale, -Technical Advisor, Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre

11. Supporting Datacenter Compliance With Integrated Operations Operationalize Policies Take Action Establish Policies Compliance Management Regulations and External Mandates Auditing POLICIES Server Configuration Internal Objectives Remediation Reporting Best Practice Security Auditing • Packaged knowledge delivers continuous monitoring and alerting based on policies • Unify compliance and security management across platforms and devices • Single pane of glass for end to end monitoring of datacenter environment • Faster response with alertsdirectly to operational staff • Scale monitoring and enforcement to datacenter • Lower cost of audit andreporting requirements

12. Consolidate Servers Through Virtualization Optimization • Maximize use of datacenter resources through consolidation and • management • Establish pools of resources to enable dynamic management “ • Lower cost of delivering agility to respond to business requirements We expect to consolidate an additional 75 servers using Hyper-V, which will lead to $325,000 annually. [With System Center] …we’ve reduced the time spent on physical to virtual from all night to an hour” “ Automation | Optimization | Simplification -Robert McShinsky SerniorAdminstrator, Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center

13. Consolidate Servers Through Simplified Virtualization And Management 6% utilization 10% utilization Server utilization Number of physical servers Power usage Floor space 9% utilization 11% utilization 14% utilization 50% utilization • Automate physical to virtual and virtual to virtual conversion • Manage multiple hypervisor environments with one console • Rapid and intelligent server provisioning • Utilize familiar tools to management both physical and virtual environments • Introduce virtualization without additional complexity Automation | Optimization | Simplification

14. Dynamically Optimize Datacenter Server Resources Automate response to change in datacenter fabric ensure service performance and availability • Deep monitoring across severs including power management, hardware, configuration, etc. • Automated Live Migration of VMs across server based on changes or step by step remediation • Integrate with key Windows Server 2008 R2 capabilities such as power management • Ensure high performance and availability of datacenter service at all times

15. Simplify Datacenter Management With Integrated Server Management • Single set of familiar tools across physical and virtual environments Simplification • Single infrastructure for end to end management lowers deployment cost • Knowledge and best practice for Windows environment • Apply existing experience, tools,and knowledge • Suite licenses to provide simple purchase, cost effective license and flexible model

16. Conclusion: System Center Supports Scale Deployment of Windows Server While Lowering Costs AUTOMATION Lower costs through server and resource automation • Automate the management of server and datacenter resources to reduce the cost of delivering mission critical business services OPTIMIZATION Optimize datacenter infrastructure throughunified physical and virtual management • Manage physical and virtual environments through a single set of tools to deliver a dynamic datacenter fabric SIMPLIFICATION Increased simplicity through integrated management • Simplify datacenter management through a set of familiar, integrated capabilities and solutions that speed problem resolution and improve TCO
