Migrate to Windows Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V for server virtualization benefits

Taking Advantage of Modern Memory and Storage with Windows Server 2012 WINDOWS SERVER 2003 WAS GREAT... BUT 2015 TECHNOLOGY IS A HUGE STEP FORWARD 20 million WinServer 2003 Ongoing support of these deployments in July 2014 servers end in July 14, 2015 Most are 32 bit on No more critical legacy x86 servers updates after that date Why migrate? Lower TCO from better hardware system utilization and Microsoft's ongoing support Capture the value of proven new technologies: Windows server 2012 R2 and solid state storage Benefits of migrating Desktop virtualization Active directory and web application proxy Server File services Management virtualization updates More powerful server management with dynamically provisioned management tools and PowerShell command line interface Improved security and user-based access management with fine-grained password policies and Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS) Improved file storage management from real-time quotas and File Classification Infrastructure (FCI) Improved security and lowered TCO for end-user desktops, plus simplified printing Better hardware and storage utilization with shared storage and dynamic storage resizing Using Windows Server 2012 R2 to maximize memory utilization Tune memory allocation to application types by breaking memory into smaller sized non-NUMA VMs and having Leverage Predictive Failure Analysis (PFA) to anticipate memory and storage failures before they impact operations multiple SQL instances Employ dynamic memory to intelligently monitor memory Use error-correcting code (ECC) to detect Utilize resources through NUMA- aware SQL server and fix internal data corruption and IIS usage Leveraging storage improvements: SSD advantages Speed-of-light read-write performance Solid-state drives now No-moving-parts reliability issues as with HDD mainstream in servers Cool, energy-efficient design No reliability issues from spinning discs Data on SSDS always available 124 Using Windows Server 2012 R2 and Kingston SSD to get the maximum benefit Partitions are BitLocker encrypts automatically aligned only used space to the SSD structure HWindows Server + EKİngston ECHNOLOGY TRIM enables OS to notify SSD when areas are deleted Tiered Storage Spaces distinguish between SSD and HDD For more information, please visit: www.kingston.com/modern_memory_storage Rкingston TECHN OLOGY ©2015 Kingston Technology Corporation.
