Virtualization brings about new use cases that did not previously exist in traditional desktop environments. These use cases include the ability to create multiple desktops dynamically, enable user access to multiple virtual machines (VMs) simultaneously, and move desktop VMs across multiple platforms, especially in load-balancing and disaster recovery situations. Microsoft designed Windows Virtual Enterprise Centralized Desktop (VECD) to enable organizations to license virtual copies of Windows client operating systems in virtual environments. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/enterprise/solutions/virtualization/licensing.aspx

2. Agenda New Desktop Virtualization Scenarios… …and why traditional Windows Licensing does not work Introduction to VECD Customer Scenarios for VECD 2 2

3. Desktop Virtualization The need for a new type of Windows License

4. What is Desktop Virtualization Roaming Profiles Folder Redirection Microsoft Application Virtualization Data, User settings Local Desktop Virtualization Applications Microsoft Remote Desktop Services Microsoft Virtual Desktop Infrastructure Microsoft Enterprise Desktop Virtualization Remote Desktop Virtualization OS Traditional Client Computing Desktop Virtualization Enables new scenarios Hardware

5. Use Cases for Virtual Desktops Users can access to virtual Windows running on a server from authorized devices, including thin clients VM on portable media IT can provide managed desktops to non-managed third party owned Windows PCs VM on Contractor / Offshore PCs Employees can access their personalized corporate desktop from their home Windows PC Virtual copies of Windows provided on media such as USB / DVD Remote boot VM from network storage device VM on Employee owned PCs Blade PCs Create and store a Windows image on a storage device, such as a network server, which may be run over an internal network locally in physical or virtual operating system environments Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) Multiple users are accessing blade PC with a single copy of Windows physically installed per blade.

6. Why not traditional Windows?

7. Virtual environments and licensing What Virtualization Demands: Licensing Flexibility Ability to run Windows Client OS on servers Unrestricted movement of VMs across hardware platforms Added Value: Software Assurance Flexibility Value Upgrade / Downgrade rights for OS Access to Enterprise editions of OS Reassignment rights after 90 days. Access to technology such as MDOP and WinFLP Support and training from Microsoft Basic Value: OEM License Pre-installed OS Bound to hardware No reassignment rights

8. Limitations of traditional Windows licensing for virtual environments Additional Value What you expect from your virtual desktop environment… Improved Business Continuity Increased Desktop Flexibility Move VMs across servers in case of server downtime Load balance VMs across multiple servers Create desktops dynamically from golden images Dynamically adjust the number of VMs in your environment Product support for the different components of the complex VDI infrastructure OEM licenses bound to hardware Retail licenses can be reassigned only after 90 days OEM and retail licenses cannot be dynamically assigned OEM and retail licenses do not include any product support from Microsoft. …and the limitations of traditional Windows licensing

9. Introducing Windows Virtual Enterprise Centralized Desktop (VECD)

10. What are the different flavors of Windows VECD? What is Windows VECD Windows VECD is a device based annual subscription program to help you license virtual copies of Windows (XP, Vista, Windows 7) Windows VECD for SA Windows VECD What devices can be covered? Rich clients, Thin clients Rich clients Is Software Assurance a pre-requisite? No Yes $110/year/device $23/year/device What is the retail price? Does it have Software Assurance benefits? Yes Yes # of rich clients without SA # of rich clients with SA Total # of Windows VECD licenses required # of thin clients (Irrespective of virtualization infrastructure)

11. Windows VECD is designed for virtual environments Improved Business Continuity Increased Desktop Flexibility Additional Value What you expect from your virtual desktop environment… Access corporate desktop images from non-corporate Windows PCs Single VECD license allows concurrent access for up to 4 VMs Work at home rights included Dynamic desktop licensing enabled through KMS/MAK activation Install windows on any combination of hardware and storage Unlimited movement between servers and storage Reassignment rights to another device after 90 days, or in case of end-point failure. Unlimited backups of both running and stored VMs Includes SA benefits such as 24*7 call support, training vouchers, access to Enterprise versions of Windows, etc Option to purchase MDOP and WinFLP …and how Windows VECD delivers
