Why Windows 7

The Optimized Desktop

Enterprise Investment Areas for Windows 7

Access Information Anywhere

“How can I reduce costs and take advantage of new technologies like virtualization?”

“My enterprise is becoming more disperse. How do I keep people connected to what they need?”

“How can I enable the software and devices my users require and minimize their risk?”

Deploying Windows 7 with System Center

The focus areas of a deployment

Planning the Windows 7 deployment

Enhance your Windows 7 deployment planning with deep Asset Intelligence knowledge Simplify your Windows 7 deployment customization for roles, locations, or other Customize your Windows 7 installations for explicit targeting to existing systems or users Accelerate Windows client deployments with centralized management control Ease migration with integrated virtualized application streaming Protect legacy environments with ‘managed’ enterprise desktop virtualization Manage, Update, Monitor and Backup important application and user data

Hardware Compatibility

System Center can help provide hardware readiness reports of existing inventory Simple report glance of what systems are capable of Windows 7 today

Application Management

One of the most complicated areas of any deployment Application Compatibility Toolkit Connector, in 1 view compare your own testing results to: Vendors Other organizations Microsoft Compatibility knowledge helps to understand priority focus Virtualization may be a solution MDOP App-V MDOP MED-V

Infrastructure and Networking

Significant cost savings can be achieved by using a management tool, and by deploying into a managed environment Benefits can be achieved by utilizing capabilities such as : System Center Active Directory Group Policy Branch Cache Direct Access

Security and Data Protection

Deployed and Configured centrally with System Center

Building upon the security foundations of Windows Vista, Windows 7 provides IT Professionals security features that are simple to use, manageable, and valuable

Fundamentally Secure Platform

Securing Anywhere Access

Protect Users & Infrastructure

Protect Data from Unauthorized Viewing

Windows Vista Foundation User Account Control Enhanced Auditing

Network Security Network Access Protection DirectAccessTM

AppLockerTM Internet Explorer 8 Data Recovery

RMS EFS BitLockerTM

Imaging, Migration and Installation

OS deployments are complex Multiple locations and security models are touched The Task Sequencer allows you to easily automate this from 1 view. System Center can accelerate OS Deployment Automate and Combine: User Migration OS Customization Partition modeling Application installation (physical and virtual Updates BitLocker Reporting

User Migration

An OS image can be the smallest part of a deployment payload when compared to user data USMT v4 - User State Migration Toolkit will completely eliminate any data move with a new feature called ‘hardlinking’ ‘Hardlinking’ allows you to simply scan the system for what you want to migrate, make a record of its location on the disk, and leave it there At the end of your deployment, you reconnect to this location in the new user profile Scan and copy times from hours to minutes Remove network storage completely Preserve bandwidth Integrated with System Center for total automation and reporting

An example: -5000 machines migration -Avg. 4Gb of user data per machine - Equates to 20,000Gb of data: -Transferred up the network to a share -Stored -Transferred back down
