Windows Vista NetworkingWindows Vista has been the most significant investment in networking since Windows 95
Easier ConnectivityWireless Reliability
Rich End-to-End SecurityServer & Domain Isolation - IPSec
Greater ManageabilityPolicy-based Quality of Service (eQoS)
Scalable Architecture Network Auto-tuning & IPv6
Focus on Return On Investment, Greater Productivity
Windows Vista Networking – Results
“Just upgrading client PCs to Microsoft’s Windows Vista can yield throughput and time-to-completion improvements of up to 3X over Windows XP.
Complete migration of servers to Windows Server 2008 can yield throughput and time-to-completion improvements of up to 4X over Windows XP/Windows Server 2003.”

Situation Today
Remote Access for Mobile Workers
Corporate network boundary includes managed assets no matter where they are on the InternetEasy to service mobile PCs and distribute updates and policesNew network paradigm increases mobile user productivity by providing same experience inside & outsidethe office
Challenging for IT to manage, update, patch mobile PCs while disconnected from company networkDifficult for users to access corporate resources from outside the office

Windows 7 Solution
BranchCache™
Authenticates current state of data and access rights of the user against the serverSupports commonly used protocols: HTTP(S), SMBSupport network security protocols (SSL, IPsec)Requires Windows Server 2008 R2 in the data center and hosted cache
Caches content downloaded from file and Web serversUsers in the branch can quickly open files stored in the cacheFrees up network bandwidth for other uses
Technical Details
IISFile Server
Group PolicyManagement
Install the optional “Windows BranchCache” component on a Windows 2008 R2 web or file server
Use Group Policy to enable Windows BranchCache on Windows 7 clients
HostedCache
Optionally, install a hosted cache in your branch. Configure clients to use it with Group Policy
