MED-V Slide (CTU 2010 II)

Hi All,

        Here is the “Microsoft Enterprise Desktop Virtualization (MED-V)” ppt that I used in CTU 2010 II (18th Dec 2010).

 

 Get a copy of it. http://cid-7a652addf155994c.office.live.com/self.aspx/Share/MED-V%20%5E5CTU%202010%20II%5E6.pptx

 

Brief overview of MED-V

MED-V deploy “virtual environment” to client which allows customization in heterogeneous desktop environments. IT allows for automation in first-time virtual PC setup (e.g. initial network setup, unique computer name, domain join).

 

It allows adjusting of virtual PC memory allocation based on available RAM on host
Then you can provision the virtual images and applications to users and groups
Finally you can choose websites, that once the user try to access them, the request is automatically redirected by MED-V client to the virtual XP Environment and runs in Internet Explorer 6. This is useful for websites that are not compatible with IE7 or 8.

Partner Summit: Microsoft Server Launch Wave 2008 focus on launching Windows 2008, Visual Studio 2008 and SQL 2008 to all Microsoft Partners.

I did a Technical Demo on "Windows 2008 Hyper-V" (Using Windows 2008 RTM with Hyper-V install in 2 x 64bit Server to demostrate a host failover) in front of 400 hundreds over audience. A very good experience for me.
