Windows Server 2016 & Intel® Technology Better Together 4 Ways … Enhanced Compute Software-Defined Storage Simplified virtualization upgrades, new installment options for stability and agility Full, enterprise-class tiered storage optimized for virtualization Simplified Networking Extended Security A core set of capabilities and SDN architecture directly from Azure straight to the data center Hardware-assisted security to address emerging threats, control privileged access, and protect VMs … all integrated to support a software-defined infrastructure (SDI)

Enhanced Compute Intel® Xeon® Processor E 5 -2600 v 4 Features Supported on Windows Server* 2016 Intel® Advanced Vector Extensions 2 accelerates clock cycles for greater performance Hardware P-states (HWP) for power savings and reduced peak thermal load Up to 1. 5 x more OLTP requests per second for peak times 1 1. Up to 1. 5 x more transactions per second comparing Intel® Server with two Intel® Xeon® processor E 5 -2697 v 2 and 256 GB Memory (source: Intel® Technical Report #27) to an Intel® Server with two Intel® Xeon® processor E 5 -2699 v 4 and 512 GB Memory (Source: Intel® Technical Report #2372). Baseline configuration ran Microsoft SQL Server* 2012 EE, and Microsoft Windows Server* 2012 SE; the upgraded configuration ran Microsoft SQL Server* 2016 RTM and Microsoft Windows Server* 2016 Technical Preview 5. 5

Software-Defined Storage • Simplifies resource provisioning and management • Storage Spaces Direct (S 2 D) pools local storage for scalable server clusters • NVDIMM support for extremely high I/O workloads, like those using SQL Server* Storage Optimization with Intel: • Hyper-converged reference architectures developed with tiered storage approach based on workload needs • Intel® Datacenter SSDs - NVME and SATA - optimized to perform better IOPS & read-write 1 • Up to 3 million IOPs achieved on all NVMe based configuration 2 1. 2. Based on the Intel® Solid State Drive DC P 3500, P 3600, and P 3700 Series Product Specifications. Random I/O Operations based on Thousand (K) IOPS. Performance varies by capacity and is measured using Iometer* with QD 128, for sequential workload QD 128 with single worker. For random workload QD 32, with 4 workers. Measurements are performed on full span of logical block address (LBA) range on an SSD that is filled to capacity with data. IOPS setup: Intel® Core™ i 7 -3770 K CPU @ 3. 50 GHz, 8 GB of system memory, Windows Server* 2012, and Iometer* tool were used. DC P 3700 system performance is configuration dependent. Random performance is collected with 4 workers each with QD 32. Average latency measured with 4 KB sequential I/O at QD 15. Active power measured during execution of Full Sequential Workload with 128 KB transfer size, idle power is measured when there is no I/O to SSD.

Windows Server* 2016 Networking Features: § Network controller to help improve network management § Distributed firewall for network flow control § Load balancer for application availability and responsiveness NETW Networking to Support Workload Mobility 7

Extended Security To Protect Virtual Machines To Protect Credentials • Shielded VMs – Use Bit. Locker* for encryption, Intel Xeon Processor E 5 v 4 supports TPM 2. 0 for maximum security • “Just enough” administration – Limits administrative privileges • Host Guardian Service – Attests to host health • Hyper-V* for containerized applications – Bolster IT efficiency and flexibility with faster deployment • Generation 2 VMs – Support enhanced virtual hardware security • “Just in time” administration – Controlled access • Intel® Secure Key for high-quality security keys • Intel® AES New Instructions (Intel® AES-NI) and new crypto acceleration

World Record 1 TPC-H 10 TB Benchmark…. Enabling Technologies: Microsoft SQL Server* 2016 Windows Server* 2016 Intel® Xeon® processor E 7 v 4 family Up to 2. 7 x MORE QUERIES PER at less than one-third the cost per query. HOUR Blazing-fast performance is key to a flawless transactional experience. Software and workloads used in performance tests may have been optimized for performance only on Intel® microprocessors. Performance tests, such as SYSmark* and Mobile. Mark*, are measured using specific computer systems, components, software, operations, and functions. Any change to any of those factors may cause the results to vary. You should consult other information and performance tests to assist you in fully evaluating your contemplated purchases, including the performance of that product when combined with other products.
