Introducing “Windows XP Mode”

How MED-V Relates to Windows XP Mode

Windows Virtual PC (“XP Mode”) Provides the Ease of Use for End Users

MED-V – Deploying Virtual PCs in the Enterprise

A preconfigured virtual Windows XP SP3 (32bit) environment Easy to install your applications on Windows XP and run from Windows 7 desktop Well integrated into Windows 7 Designed for small businesses and consumers

Deploy virtual Windows XP images and customize per user Provision and define applications and websites to users Control Virtual PC settings Maintain and Support endpoints through monitoring and troubleshooting

MED-V will not require PCs to have hardware assisted virtualization (e.g. Intel VT, AMD-V)

MED-V v1 Key CapabilitiesDeploy and provision

Deploy IT-managed virtual XP environment to end users Enable customization in heterogeneous desktop environments

Automate first-time virtual PC setup (e.g. initial network setup, computer name, domain join)

Application provisioning based on Microsoft Active-Directory® users/groups Assign a virtual image and define which applications are available to the user

Enable incompatible applications

End users seamlessly use Windows XP applications on their Windows 7 desktop End users automatically see Websites that require Internet Explorer 6 in the virtual

environment

Control and Monitor

Centrally define Virtual PC settings (e.g. Adjust virtual PC memory allocation based on available RAM on host)

Centrally monitor endpoint clients Provide helpdesk tools to diagnose and troubleshoot virtual PCs

MED-V v1 Architecture

Software Distribution

Typical Virtual Image life-cycle

Create a master image Include common software, security and management tools

Package the image and distribute Via existing software distribution (e.g. System Center)

Image is customized and joined to domain Unique name is assigned for identification

Remotely manage as any Windows XP desktop

Install applications (e.g. System Center, App-V)

Apply patches and updates

MED-V Customers Say…

“MED-V will be very beneficial as we upgrade more machines to Windows Vista, and eventually to Windows 7, because we’ll be able to run legacy applications that require a previous operating system in Virtual PC images on the new desktops.” TUEV Nord (8,000 employees)*

“MED-V saves us time in standardizing our desktop across the multiple entities of the Belgacom group… With thousands of users in our environment, MED-V will significantly reduce the time required for testing and migrating the applications we have.” Belgacom Group

“We found that MED-V really solved our application compatibility problems. It allowed us to deploy the applications, where third party vendors were not providing a supported version. Where we used to have hundreds of images, we were able to move to one [Windows] Vista image, and use MED-V to deploy [legacy] applications on top of that” Belfast Health and Social Care Trust (22,000 staff)**
