27. Company employees who access their corporate network from outside the network with devices which are
not owned or controlled directly or indirectly by the company are roaming. Roaming access can be from
any device (PC, thin client, mobile phone, etc.).
Any legal entity that a customer owns. Ownership means control of more than 50% interest in that entity.
Customers who sign an Volume Licensing agreement enrollment are referred to as an “enrolled affiliate.” An
enrollment is an option giving companies flexibility in defining their enterprise. Each enterprise must consist
of entire legal entities, not partial entities such as departments, divisions, or business units. Each affiliate
must be entirely “in” or entirely “out.”

subscription agreement
Before you use Office application software under a license, you must assign that license to one device
(physical hardware system). That device is the ”licensed device.” You may reassign that license, but not on
a short-term basis (i.e., not within 90 days of the last assignment). If you reassign a license, the device to
which you reassign the license becomes the new licensed device for that license.

What is virtualization?
Microsoft offers a comprehensive set of IT solutions for all the major varieties of virtualization scenarios.Developing a Desktop Virtualization StrategyThere are many desktop virtualization options and possible combinations and therefore, to develop a desktop virtualization strategy, it is important to understand the different technologies available today and identify user needs and scenarios that best benefit from these technologies.Today we will focus on the lower left hand section regarding “Desktop Virtualization”
Through virtualization employees can access their applications and data safely over a network and the risk of data loss is minimized as all user settings are stored in the data center. On the IT side, virtualization accelerates deployment of new capabilities without needing to acquire new hardware and configure components. It also reduces application testing requirements and compatibility issues and simplifies disaster recovery and compliance.
Add We know some of you have devices and clients aren’t covered by SA, that’s why we are also offering stand-along Windows VDA for thin clients.
Windows VDA is a new type of license designed to help you license virtual copies of Windows. It is a device based subscription, which means the total number of licenses is equal to the total number of devices tat access the virtual environment. Additionally, it is an annual subscription, following the SA model.
Through virtualization employees can access their applications and data safely over a network and the risk of data loss is minimized as all user settings are stored in the data center. On the IT side, virtualization accelerates deployment of new capabilities without needing to acquire new hardware and configure components. It also reduces application testing requirements and compatibility issues and simplifies disaster recovery and compliance.Developing a Desktop Virtualization StrategyThere are many desktop virtualization options and possible combinations and therefore, to develop a desktop virtualization strategy, it is important first to understand the different technologies available today and second to identify user needs and scenarios that would best benefit from these technologies. The next sections provide more detail and guidance on these steps.
What is virtualization?
Some of the key components of the Microsoft VDI offering are:Windows Server 2008 with Hyper-V:Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V allows you to virtualize server roles as separate virtual machines (VMs) running on a single physical machine, without the need to buy third-party software. Support for the latest hardware-assisted virtualization technologies allows virtualization of very demanding workloads. Clustering of Windows Server virtualization (WSv) hosts or VMs running on WS hosts and backup of VMs while they are running keep your virtualized servers highly available. New management tools and performance counters make the virtualized environment easier to manage and monitor. Terminal Services (TS) RemoteApp and TS Web Access allow programs that are accessed remotely to be opened with just one click and appear as if they are running seamlessly on the end user's local computer. TS Gateway helps provide secure remote access to Windows-based programs through firewalls – without the need for a virtual private network (VPN).Systems Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008:SCVMM is part of the Systems Center Management suite, which provides integrated management across physical, virtual and session based infrastructure. Virtual Machine Manager 2008 (VMM) supports the management of hosts running Hyper-V, and VMM can actually enable Hyper-V remotely from the VMM 2008 console. It integrates with new clustering support in Windows Server 2008 to allow for fault-tolerant and cluster aware virtual machines to be created, as well as providing VMM-specific functions, such as Intelligent Placement, the Self-Service Portal, and the integrated Library. In addition to support for Hyper-V, SCVMM provides support for non-Microsoft infrastructure, including CITRIX and VMWare. This integrated management capability greatly reduces IT management overheads normally associated with managing virtual desktop environments.Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V):App-V is a part of Microsoft’s Desktop Optimization pack (MDOP), and enables applications to run without the need to visit a desktop, laptop, or terminal server. Applications are no longer installed on the client—and there is minimal impact on the host operating system or other applications. As a result, application conflicts and the need for regression testing are dramatically reduced. Virtual Application deployments, patches, updates, and terminations are more easily managed via policies.Desktop delivery through Citrix Xen Desktop:Citrix XenDesktop™ offers a next-generation, user-centric desktop virtualization solution that provides a complete system for desktop delivery. XenDesktop dynamically assembles virtual desktops on-demand, providing users a new, yet personalized, desktop each time they log on – ensuring that performance never degrades. In addition, XenDesktop’s high-speed delivery protocol provides unparalleled responsiveness over any network which helps in desktop optimization. As part of Microsoft's VDI roadmap, We plan on introducing our own connection broker technology, as part of Remote Desktop Services (aka Terminal Services). This technology will be a part of Windows Server 2008 R2, and will complement some of the VDI technology currently being built into Windows 7. Additional functionality is expected to include:Support for upto 10 monitorsMultimedia enhancements for remote desktops, including enhanced bidirectional audio, rich D3D and video remoting capability, support for aeroglass, etcHence, in the WS08 R2 timeframe, we will have two options for implementing VDI:For large, complex enterprise deployments, the joint Microsoft and Citrix solution will continue to offer a superior set of features.For small scale departmental implementations, the Microsoft-only stack will provide the best balance of features and price.Organizations that are considering VDI today, are encouraged to deploy the current Microsoft-Citrix offering, as this will enable them to lay a foundation to grow their VDI infrastructure in the future.
As part of Microsoft’s strategy to provide the best value and technology for customers, we have made it simpler and cheaper to buy the comprehensive VDI technology from Microsoft.Customers can now buy different components of the server and management infrastructure required to run VDI through a single licensing vehicle. This licensing vehicle has two SKUs: The VDI Standard Suite and VDI Premium Suite. Both suites complement the VECD license, by following the same device-based annual subscription pricing model.The VDI Standard Suite is a collection of technology to help organizations deploy the basic infrastructure for VDI. Hyper-V Server 2008 R2 is the virtualization platform for hosting your servers and desktops. Management of your virtual infrastructure is taken care of the various system center components, including System Center Virtual Machine Manager, System Center Operations Manager 2007 R2 and System Center Configuration Manager 2007 R2. Applications can be delivered dynamically via App-V, since MDOP is also included in the VDI standard suite. The standard suite also enables restricted use rights for Remote Desktop Services, to deliver VDI desktops to users. (Session based desktop delivery is not permitted via the VDI standard suite). As you can see, the VDI Standard Suite offers tremendous value, since key VDI technology such as application virtualization and integrated management are included.The VDI premium suite is for customers want additional flexibility from their VDI environment. Remote Desktops Services is unrestricted, thereby enabling customers to deliver both session based desktops as well as VDI desktops. The VDI Premium Suite also includes App-V for RDS, thereby allowing organizations to deliver applications dynamically to the Remote Desktop Server, effectively reducing silos for RDS applications.In addition to being simple to purchase, both SKUs provide customers with excellent value. The standard suite retails at $21/device/year, whereas the premium SKU retails for $53/year. This not only represents a substantial discount over the competition’s retail price, but also represent a tremendous savings when compared to buying each product individually.It is important to note that neither suite replaces VECD. Customers looking to use Windows XP/Vista/7 in a VDI environment still need to purchase VECD separately to be fully compliant with licensing. Our strong partnership with Citrix for VDI continues, with the Citrix XenDesktop product adding valuable functionality to the Microsoft VDI suites, such as delivering an HDX user experience across multiple device types and network configurations, single mage provisioning and management and storage optimization technologies, to give our customers a truly enterprise grade VDI solution. XenDesktop also supports Windows 7 as the VDI desktop, and integrates very well with the rest of the Microsoft stack.
The VDI suite is a collection of technology to help organizations deploy the basic infrastructure for VDI. Hyper-V Server 2008 R2 is the virtualization platform for hosting your servers and desktops. Management of your virtual infrastructure is taken care of the various system center components, including System Center Virtual Machine Manager, System Center Operations Manager 2007 R2 and System Center Configuration Manager 2007 R2. Applications can be delivered dynamically via App-V, since MDOP is also included in the VDI standard suite. The standard suite also enables restricted use rights for Remote Desktop Services, to deliver VDI desktops to users. (Session based desktop delivery is not permitted via the VDI standard suite)The VDI premium suite is for customers want additional flexibility from their VDI environment. Remote Desktops Services is unrestricted, thereby enabling customers to deliver both sessi0n based desktops as well as VDI desktops. The VDI Premium Suite also includes App-V for RDS, thereby allowing organizations to deliver applications dynamically to the Remote Desktop Server, effectively reducing silos for RDS applications.
The VDI suites have been designed to offer a discount as against purchasing the different components individually.
