Server Consolidation Savings
Hardware ConsolidationDartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center reduced 400 servers to
100 servers, leading to cost savings of more than US $325K
annually
Power ReductionWith Hyper-V, HotSchedules
reduced its power costs from US $11K to $2.5K per month
Space ReductionIndiana University Auxiliary IT Department cut its rack count down to two, saving $10,500
annually on datacenter rack fees.
Rapid Provisioning Savings: Accelerating Time to Production
“Building a physical server took almost four hours before virtualization.
Hyper-V has helped decrease this time to 20 minutes.
The simplified management console in System Center Virtual Machine Manager reduces this time even more, so
build time is down to 10 minutes.
The value of the time savings associated with the server management improvements is estimated to be
AU$1,055,000 (U.S.$999,985) per year.”

“Before physical-to-virtual (P2V) conversions began, Costco IT staff used the Microsoft
Assessment and Planning (MAP) Toolkit to evaluate server loads. Using the toolkit, staff
members discovered that, in many cases, servers were running at only 5 percent
utilization, making them good candidates for consolidation.”

Desktop Virtualization Savings
Reduced Compatibility Testing
Heidelberg estimates that it saves approximately 50,000 Euros
annually in packaging costs using Application Virtualization. “It paid for itself in just six months.”
Accelerated Desktop Deployment
California State University now requires just 10 hours instead
of 700 hours to package and deliver apps
AspenTech cut its application delivery time by 50 %
Cost-effective Anywhere Access
“Our people are also finding it easier to work wherever they are—whether they
are at a customer site, roaming between sites, or on the road… When our
employees are more productive, we decrease our costs.”
- Ahmed Atef, Mantrac, about Terminal Services
Microsoft Platform Savings
Platform-based hypervisorEnd-to-end management
Training & Support
“Having one vendor for the hypervisor, operating system, and much of our application software was very appealing to us from a support and cost perspective.”
Bert Van Pottelberghe, Sales Director, Hostbasket
Hypervisor Feature of OS
“We liked the fact that Hyper-V was built into Windows Server
2008…With Hyper-V, we don’t need separate drivers for the hypervisor,
and we don’t pay additional licensing fees.”
Bart Roels, Operations Manager, Hostbasket
High Availability with Clustering Feature of OS
Hyper-V leverages Windows Server 2008 clustering to provide
migration, which enable virtual machine guests to migrate from
one cluster node to another.
Power Management Feature of OS
Windows Server 2008 out of the box uses approximately 10 percent less energy than Windows Server
2003 because of Advanced Configuration and Power Interface
processor power management
Platform-Based Virtualization Features
Virtual, Physical & Cross-Hypervisor Management
“…if my central console can manage both my Microsoft virtual machines and my VMware virtual machines
with an interface that is familiar and easy for my Microsoft certified staff,
that's a big plus.”Brent Register, The Atlanta Journal-
Constitution
Disaster Recovery part of System Center
“Doing this on physical hardware takes a couple of hours; with virtual
machines, it takes minutes,”Robert McShinsky Senior Systems
Administrator, Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center.
App Virtualization deployment part of System Center
“Now we can deploy both virtualized and installed applications using the
same procedure,” Arne Bertgen, IT administrator for
Tuv Nord.
Virtualization Built Into Management Platform
Training & Support:Virtualization is a Skill, Not a Specialty
“We will be able to support our entire virtual landscape through Microsoft, which already
supports the rest of our datacenter, and have solid, seamless coverage under our Microsoft
Premier Support Agreement.
Hyper-V fits better into our Microsoft infrastructure and simplifies our IT strategy by
enabling us to work with as few vendors as possible.”
Erich Nøkling, Business Development Manager, Mamut
Windows Server 2008 Licensing: Datacenter Edition
License Windows by the processors on the physical server and get unlimited product use rights for the virtual guests. There’s no need to count, track, or license the virtual
machines.
System Center Licensing: System Management Suite Enterprise
Manage an unlimited number of virtual operating systems on a physical host server
Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack (MDOP)
In addition to Microsoft Application Virtualization, MDOP provides desktop
inventory assessment, group policy management, Virtual PC management and desktop error monitoring and repair tools.
Low Cost of Acquisition & Ownership
“By deploying Windows Server 2008 Datacenter, with its liberal virtual-machine licensing options, MLS PIN achieved savings of $200,000 over other editions of the operating
system.”Matt Lavalee, Director of Technology, MLS Property Information Network
