Infrastructure Planning and Design Guides for Virtualization
The Infrastructure Planning and Design (IPD) Guide Series provides concise planning guidance for Microsoft infrastructure products, helping to streamline and clarify design processes for unique infrastructure technologies and scenarios.
Plan your Virtualization infrastructure with IPD guidance
Streamline and clarify your
virtualization infrastructure design processes with concise planning guidance from Solution Accelerators. Each IPD guide addresses a unique virtualization infrastructure technology or scenario, providing critical architectural decisions that must to be addressed, available options, as well as available options and a means to validate design decisions to ensure that solutions meet requirements of both business and IT stakeholders.
This guide leads you through the process of identifying the business and technical requirements for managing virtualization, designing integration with System Center 2012 - Operations Manager if required, and then determining the number, size, and placement of the VMM servers. This guide helps you to confidently plan for the centralized administration of physical and virtual machines.
With this guide, you can design a Dynamic Data Center that will allow your organization to be responsive to changing market conditions by presenting new ways to develop, deliver, deploy, and manage applications and IT infrastructures.
Microsoft Application Virtualization 4.6 (App-V)Updated for Windows Server 2008 R2!
Now including information on how App-V supports Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2, including such features as BranchCache; support for 64-bit clients; and server-sizing data , this guide provides actionable guidance for planning your application virtualization infrastructure.
Updated to include coverage of Windows Server 2008 R2 Remote Desktop Services and Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI), this guide walks the reader through the process of selecting the right virtualization technology for each workload—in five steps or fewer—enabling organizations to quickly move from technology selection to the design process for the virtualization infrastructure, using the most appropriate IPD guide.
This guide is designed to provide a consistent structure for addressing the decisions and activities most critical to the successful implementation of the infrastructure for Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V technology and Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 R2 SP1.
The goal of this guide is to help project teams gather information, make decisions, choose options, and complete the tasks required to create and design a Virtual Machine Manager infrastructure.
The Windows Optimized Desktop Scenarios relate the IT and user business requirements for a flexible, efficient, and managed desktop environment to sets of complementary Microsoft technologies. The guide and supporting tool in this Solution Accelerator use five standard user scenarios such as Office Worker and Mobile Worker to map requirements to technologies.
Microsoft Enterprise Desktop Virtualization (MED-V)
This guide outlines the critical infrastructure design elements that are crucial to a successful implementation of Microsoft Enterprise Desktop Virtualization (MED-V). It guides the reader through the four-step process of designing components, layout, and connectivity in a logical, sequential order. Identification of the MED-V server instances required is presented in simple, easy-to-follow steps, helping the reader to deliver managed virtual machines to end users.
This guide lays out the key infrastructure design elements that are integral to a successful implementation of Remote Desktop Services. The reader is guided through the nine-step process of designing components, layout, and connectivity in a logical, sequential order. Identification of the RD Session Host farms is presented in a simple, easy-to-follow process, helping the reader to design and plan centralized virtual data centers.
This guide leads the reader step by step through the process of planning a Windows Server 2008 Terminal Services infrastructure. Key fundamental decisions and tasks are addressed, such as the identification of which applications are to be delivered, and which resources are needed to employ Terminal Services to serve the selected applications.
