Extended Support Options

Costs, benefits and practicality.

Consider this for the Windows Server 2003:

The last Service Pack was issued more than six years ago.

Regular or “mainstream” support ended three years ago.

The product is now on “extended support.”

All support ends in July 2015.

Aging Infrastructure is Inefficient and Costly

http://www.intel.com/performance

© 2014 CompuCom. 10

• High cost custom support agreements (CSAs) – first year are

usually in the range of $200K and can compound

• Existing physical hardware may be 5-7 years old, expensive

to maintain

• No direct upgrade path to Windows 2012 R2

• Need to address applications as well as the OS

• Can’t take advantage of modern IT infrastructure and

management tools

Why is Doing Nothing Not an Option

• Windows updates – including security will no longer

be available

• Microsoft will no longer support virtualized platform

• Regulatory issues

Key Considerations:

How old is your installed base?

Is your equipment out of warranty?

Are you sufficiently protecting your data?

Do you want to virtualize everything on-premise or are you open to

moving to the public cloud?


Migration Process Overview – Microsoft’s View

Migrate4Target3Assess2Discover1


CompuCom’s Server Migration Approach

•Establish application support structure

•Implement migration solutions in a phased in approach to mitigate loss of service and impacts to the organization

•Validate migration activities

•Client execute UAT on migrated applications

•Provide post migration support based on contract requirements.

•Decommission legacy hardware and either re-deploy or release for disposal

Implementation (Migrate)

•Develop migrations solutions on an application by application basis.

•Review migrations solutions with application owners and incorporate feedback

•Finalize migration solution options and document.

•Where possible establish a test lab to validate migration solutions.

•Review test results with client

•Develop migration implementation plan that aligns to business SLA’s, application dependencies and outage windows

•Develop and communicate application support structure to be used during migration waves

Design (Target)

•Determine available support on existing hardware.

•Determine minimum hardware specifications for any re-deployable hardware

•Determine what systems can be re-deployable with reasonable hardware upgrades

•Map out application dependencies

•Review application upgrade paths

•Review possible areas for application transformations.

•Review area’s for application consolidation

•Rationalize both the H/W and software lists and determine areas of reduction, upgrades and transformations

•Determine application criticality to the organization

Planning (Assess)

•Deploy our discovery tools across the server farm to gather detailed information on existing hardware, OS, applications, etc.

•Receive and reconcile license entitlement information from the client and/or providers

•Gather application availability information (business SLA’s, outage windows, etc.)

•Gather information from client on application owners.

•Cross reference available information with customer supplied inventory lists.

•Receive hardware support information from client

•Consolidate H/W and S/W lists to develop a complete inventory of all in scope servers

Discovery


Dig Deeper with the Discover and Assessment Process

Microsoft Assessment and Planning (MAP) Toolkit

Agentless, automated, multi-product planning and assessment tool for

quicker and easier desktop, server, and cloud migrations.

Provides detailed readiness assessment reports and executive

proposals with extensive hardware and software information, as well

as actionable recommendations to help organizations accelerate their

IT infrastructure planning process and gather more detail on assets

that reside within their current environment.

Also provides server utilization data for Hyper-V server virtualization

planning, server placement identification, and virtualization candidate

assessments performance.

Hybrid Cloud

“Servers in the data center used to be

special; they were like family pets!

They were sensitive, we fed them and

cared for them.

Servers in the modern datacenter are like

cattle. If they go down or have problems,

we just shoot them and bring in another

one.” (quote from presenter in video training talks from Microsoft)

Gartner

Design private cloud deployments with interoperability

and future hybrid in mind.

Especially in larger enterprises, consider the evolution to hybrid

cloud computing as part of a broader strategy to position IT as the broker for a broad mix

of IT services deliveredin many different ways —

hybrid IT.

Considerable This

It is believed that large customers will maintain a significant amount of

their IT facilities and staff at their sites, and by 2020, about 80% of the

world’s 2,000 largest companies will still have greater than 50% of

their IT onsite (IDC 2014).

Early-stage companies (less than five years in business) are the most

eager buyers of cloud, concerned with start-up capital costs and less

likely to build and staff a conventional datacenter, and plan to increase

their spend on public cloud by 24% over the next few years (IDC

2014).


Windows Azure Active Directory


Suitable for Organizations using Active Directory (AD)

Provides best experience to most customers using AD

Supports Exchange and Lync Co-existence scenarios

Coupled with ADFS, provides best option for federation and synchronization

Supports Password Synchronization with no additional cost

Does not require any additional software licenses

Suitable for small/medium size organizations with AD or Non-AD

Performance limitations apply with PowerShell and Graph API provisioning

PowerShell requires scripting experience

PowerShell option can be used where the customer/partner may have wrappers around PowerShell scripts (eg: Self Service Provisioning)

PowerShell & Graph API

Suitable for large organizations with certain AD and Non-AD scenarios

Requires Forefront Identity Manager (FIM), soon to be Microsoft Identity Manager and additional software licenses

Additional automation capabilities

Coupled with ADFS, provides flexible option for federation and synchronization

Non-AD synchronization

Directory Sync Options

Case Study – Retail WinSvr 2003 Migration

Customer: Retail Organization expecting to grow from 20 stores to 100 in 5 years.

Problem: Customer had a Windows 2003 server infrastructure with tape backups and scripted copies to DR site. – Single SQL 2005 database running

all critical transactions. Used database replication for DR.

– Limited staff, and could not grow back office staff fast enough and had major space limitations.

– No virtualization platform. 32


Case Study – Retail WinSvr2003 Migration (cont.)

Solution: Built a Hyper-v based virtualization platform on Windows Server 2012 infrastructure that included:

– Clustered SQL 2012 database with HA session failover.

– Always ON database to support HA in a Colocation site.

– Configured VM replication to DR site for failover

– Implemented SCOM to monitor performance and HA

– Installed SCVMM to manage VM’s across the organization and auto failover VM’s to DR site based on conditions.

– Reduced server footprint at main and DR site.
