Where are Organizations Today?
LoB Application
“The Cloud” Not a decision of EITHER “The Cloud” -- or -- “On Premise”
Cloud is an alternative delivery mechanism for applications, platform, and infrastructure
Most organizations are settling on a ‘Hybrid Cloud” approach (some on-premise / some in the cloud). This satisfies the need for lowering costs and simplifying IT with cloud computing where it makes sense, and maintaining on-premise services when cloud does not meet the organization’s needs…

Organization Want (Need) a Simpler, Integrated Solution

Virtualization is Not Enough
Enterprise Data Centers Are Evolving
Cloud
Consumerization Any device computing (desktop, laptop, tablet, mobile phone, thin client…)
Any make, model, brand or endpoint OS (Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, Android, etc…)
Mix of business and personal use on an endpoint device
Cloud User shouldn’t have to care “where” their information resides
Data should reside where it makes most economical and business sense for the organization (ie: Public cloud or Private cloud)
IT needs to be able to manage and support properties regardless where it resides (single view for all servers, data, and devices anytime, anywhere)

AD to the cloud federation for single sign-on
FEDERATED IDENTITY
User benefits
• Same identity on-premises and in the cloud
• No need to manage separate passwords
Administrator benefits
• No sign-on application to manage across desktops
• Security control retained over user accounts
• No changes to enterprise deployment of AD
•Supports multi-factor
authentication for OWA
•Allows you to customize
the login page for web-
based applications
Users are authenticated
by local Geneva server
Addressing Security, Compliance Policies, IT Unification by doing
things like joining Macs to Active Directory
Why?
Same reason we setup Active Directory (or prior to that Novell Netware, Banyan Vines, Windows NT networks) long ago in the first place, to centralize logons / passwords / access
Active Directory password policies can apply to Mac users just like Windows users (ie: change every 30-days, force upper/lower case, force complex passwords, etc)
User logs on to Active Directory so they don’t need to enter in credentials to access drive shares, printers, “single sign-on”
With 3rd party plug-ins, IT can push down policies, patches and updates, software/apps, lock down systems, wipe systems.
Joining a Mac to Active Directory (con’t) Specific Settings:
Outlook 2011 for Mac – Same Look and Feel (and better compatibility)
Configurable to access Exchange (2003 / 2007 / 2010) Same look / features / options as Outlook for Windows Proven to provide best native Mac support to Exchange Blog Post: http://www.networkworld.com/community/blog/exchange-outlook-calendaring-problems-lost-me
Instant Messaging, Presence, Web Conferencing, Voice over IP (Telephony), Video Conferencing, etc
Native Lync Client for the Mac Tight SharePoint Integration with Macs Office 2011 for Mac has the added benefit of being able to work “within” Office and never have to go to the Web UI
Native support for Microsoft Rights Management Services (RMS) for document encryption / protection

Connecting iPads, iPhones, Android, Blackberry devices to a Microsoft-based Environment
Supporting Enterprisewide Mobile Device Mgmt
Enforce same corporate security / compliance policies to mobile devices as are on PCs, Laptops, etc Inventory, patch, and update mobile devices to maintain device consistency and security compliance Encrypt device and/or data to provide data leak protection and compliance notifications in case of a compromise of a device Minimize data corruption and “quirks” by maintaining consistent / known standards of applications on end point devices
Public Cloud Experience is Built into Windows Server 8
With Windows Server 8, you can:
Scale and secure
workloads & build a
private cloud
Efficiently manage
infrastructure
Build on an open and
scalable web platform
Support mobile and
flexible workstyle

Your Terms
Where do you to start?
How do you know when you get there?
Where are you headed?
Take what you did 5-years ago and remember why you did it (security, policies, standardization, compliance, management)
Step forward to today where you have a broader range of devices (Macs, iPads, tablets, BYOD, etc)
Apply the same standards to the current environment (attempting to do as much as you can with a single solution instead of multiple solutions)
Apply a cloud-based solution if the cloud offering does it better / cheaper / smarter than doing the same thing on-premise
Continue to evaluate technology offerings to evolve your IT strategy over time
