Accelerated deployment of VMs with VMM Templates Hardware

Accelerated deployment of VMs with VMM Templates Hardware – VMM uses hardware profiles, along with a sysprepped VHD/X file to streamline deployment. VMM will create the sysprepped VHD/X for you. OS Config – Configuration of domain join, admin password, product key, but even the Windows Server Roles & Features App Config – Add application-level configurations, such as MS Deploy Web Packages, Server App-V, or SQL DAC SQL Config – VMM allows admins to add SQL configuration/deployment files to a VM deployment, to accelerate DB deployment in the environment

Application-Level Config within the VM Template Application profiles provide instructions for Application Virtualization (Server App-V), Microsoft Web Deploy, Microsoft SQL Server DACs, Scripts when deploying a virtual machine as part of a service Scripts can be executed pre or post install, and support specific parameters for execution Application profiles enable automatic configuration within the VM, i. e. a web site, or configuration of a database Application profiles accelerate deployment of services within the virtualized infrastructure

Granular Configuration Control for SQL with VMs Allows for the standardized deployment of new VMs containing SQL Server IT Admin specifies key SQL data such as Instance Name, Run As Account SQL configuration requires a sysprepped VHD/X with SQL pre-installed: • SQL installed inside guest using advanced installation and selecting ‘Image preparation of a stand-alone instance of SQL Server’ • SQL Media needs to be accessible to the Guest OS at deployment time

Granular Configuration Control for SQL with VMs SQL Profile in VMM tells VMM which SQL settings to apply to complete SQL installation at deployment time Combine with SQL DAC Application Profiles to customize database configuration on top of the deployed SQL instance SQL DAC can combine with pre/post installation scripts This combination provides an automated, controlled way to deploy SQL inside VMs.

Model Business Services within the Virtualized Infrastructure Utilizes existing templates as building blocks to form interconnected, multi-tier, multi-VM services Tiers can be configured for scale and designed for high availability through availability sets Intelligent placement ensures optimal placement of all VMs within each tier of the Service Template at deployment time Service templates can specify logical networks, load balancers Set service-related properties, such as cost center, description, release version

Integrated Management Experience for Cloud Creation Resources – define the physical infrastructure capacity that will form the basis of the cloud. Supports VMware Resource pools. Logical Networks & Load Balancers – Admins can define Logical Networks and managed Load Balancers, that can be used by VMs & Services in the cloud. Storage – the Cloud abstracts the underlying storage in favor of classifications for simplified placement experience. Capacity – Define the scale boundaries for the cloud

Role-Based Administration Granular Control and Delegated Access to Cloud Resources VMM allows IT Admins to define granular administrative and self-service roles for consumers of the fabric and cloud Application Administrator has least privilege, and can consume in self-service manner only Seamless integration with Active Directory Users can be scoped to multiple clouds Quotas can be defined at the role and member levels for granular capacity management Control the VM Networks users can deploy virtual machines onto Global and Cloud-specific permissions

Rich, self-service experience for VM and app management Self-Service – Silverlight based web experience for users to consume VMs, applications and services, managed by VMM Service Providers – Through the Service Provider Foundation, users can consume clouds from on premise, and Service-Provider capacity Delegation – VMM roles are reflected in App Controller presenting users with their content and their capacity boundaries Deployment – Users can deploy from Templates, or Service Templates and can upgrade services if allowed by role settings Access – Console and RDP access to VMs is provided, if allows by role settings
