Providing solutions to hundreds of customers world-wide
The Open Solutions Group is a Sales, Marketing and Technology organization responsible for driving interoperable solutions to market which are jointly developed by Microsoft and select Open Source vendors.
Requirements, Challenges and Opportunities for Datacenter Management
Deliver Reliable Services
IT Service Availability and Performance driving investmentsApplication focused virt/ management becoming increasingly importantMixed environments add complexity
Operational Efficiency Improved business responsiveness
Virtualization still seen as key driver to reducing operational costsNeed to efficiently manage virtualized environments Compliance costs continue to rise with increased regulatory pressures
Cloud Computing increasing expectations of IT in terms of agility and costs Unpredictable business demand for datacenter services Need for elastic and flexible IT capabilities to meet business demands Enable

Our interoperability partnerships with Bridgeways and Novell extend the capabilities of the DDTK, System Center, and Hyper-V to provision, manage, and monitor Linux Virtual Machines as well as monitor competitor systems such as VMWare ESX, Apache, MySQL, and Jboss.
DDC Mixed-Source Toolkit for Hosters
Optimizing Service Provider PeformanceThrough its open source partnerships, Microsoft’s Open Solutions Group
seeks to help its customers improve operational efficiencies and reduce costs.
Dynamic Datacenter Toolkit
• Automate Provisioning• Improve ‘on demand’ Self-Care• Reduce manual processes
Linux Provisioning • Standard Linux images stored in VMM Library
• Enhanced post–deployment capabilities• Static networking capable – no DHCP
Windows Server Hyper-V + LIC’s
• Standardize on a single platform for virtualization
Bridgways Management Packs
to extend System Center
• Establish one pane of glass to manage datacenter across stacks
Consolidated Support through Novell
• Standardize on one, leading partner, for Linux support;
• Reduce overall Linux costs
TECHNICAL COLLABORATION
BUSINESS COLLABORATION
• Virtualization• Standards-based Systems
Management• Directory and Identity
