  2. Part of the Server+Cloud track Graphics on the server

    Marriott Platinum 4 on Thu, Sep 15 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM

    Windows 8 is moving to a single graphics driver model - the Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM) – offering more features over the older XP Display Driver Model commonly run on physical and virtualized servers. Windows 8 also brings updates to the inbox display driver (previously known as Standard VGA driver) which is the default standard on server systems. This session will provide information about providing support for Windows Server 8 systems that do not have WDDM capable graphics adapters, without having to update the hardware. We will also cover key design points for consideration in future server systems including utilizing graphics adapters for generic computational purposes and scenarios.

  3. Part of the Server+Cloud track Windows Server 8 apps must run without a GUI - learn more now

    Marriott Platinum 9 on Wed, Sep 14 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM

    All server apps should be restructured to run on Windows Server systems without a GUI stack, or with all GUI components found on a Windows Client system; this is a Windows Server 8 best practice. This talk explains how to ensure your server apps will work in Windows Server 8 when the GUI shell is uninstalled, how to ensure your app is remotely manageable, and how this positions your app for no GUI stack. This talk will also cover how to use PowerShell to quickly and easily add and/or enhance your remote management capabilities.

  7. Part of the Server+Cloud track Building security auditing solutions for compliance and forensic analysis

    ACC 201 B on Thu, Sep 15 10:30 AM - 11:30 AM

    This session demonstrates how the new claims based access control capabilities in Windows 8 significantly enhances the security audit and analysis capabilities for compliance and business forensic analysis. In this session, we will describe the new expression-based auditing policies that can be deployed centrally as well as locally, and will demo how monitoring products use these security events for compliance reporting and triggering alerts for suspected activity. In addition, we will describe the full set of auditing scenarios around claims-based access control to demonstrate end-to-end event-driven reporting capabilities for both compliance and day-to-day security management.

  8. Part of the Server+Cloud track Using classification for access control and compliance

    ACC 201 B on Thu, Sep 15 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM

    This session describes how data classification is used for information governance, security access and auditing using the new claims-based access control capabilities in Windows 8. In this session, we will explain how partners can provide automatic classification capabilities so that Windows applies appropriate security to the information. We will also explain how partners implementing data management capabilities such as encryption, archival, retention and disaster recovery can leverage classification in information governance offerings. Finally, we will show how line of business apps can tag data so that the appropriate information governance is applied to that data.

  9. Part of the Server+Cloud track Design for a multimillion thin client market with RemoteFX

    Marriott Platinum 4 on Thu, Sep 15 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM

    The next version of RDP and RemoteFX in Windows extends the rich experiences for the remote desktop user, be it Terminal Server (RDSH), VDI or MultiPoint Server. As customers embrace and deploy Windows, they will be asking their vendors to extend these experiences to new devices and form factors that will lower the cost of the deployment without compromising the user experience. If you want to address a market of millions of devices by building on the RemoteFX platform, this session is for you.

  10. Part of the Server+Cloud track Using Windows Server 8 for building private and public IaaS clouds

    ACC 207 B on Wed, Sep 14 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM

    Windows Server 8 is the first operating system to be optimized to support Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) for building private and public clouds. With Windows Server 8, customers will be able to build scalable and flexible clouds, rapidly migrate their existing apps and services, and efficiently manage and monitor the cloud. With hundreds of new features in Hyper-V, encompassing networking, storage and more, Windows Server 8 creates several new opportunities for software, hardware and solution partners, as well as hosters, to extend and manage clouds. This session provides an overview of how Windows Server 8 enables IaaS and the rich, new development opportunities provided by the release.

  11. Part of the Server+Cloud track Designing the building blocks for a Windows Server 8 cloud

    ACC 303 B on Thu, Sep 15 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM

    When building servers, networks and storage for cloud scale data centers, many complex tradeoffs and technologies must be considered. These tradeoffs include performance, reliability, security, flexible virtual machine deployment, storage architecture selection and interoperability with the existing architecture. Each choice influences the other considerations. This session presents a few canonical architectures that highlight interesting tradeoffs for the design of servers and systems focused on cloud deployments.

  14. Part of the Server+Cloud track Enabling multi-tenancy and converged fabric for the cloud using QoS

    ACC 303 B on Thu, Sep 15 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM

    Converged fabric and multi-tenancy pose new challenges in the data center where businesses are required to provide predictable network performance and SLAs. Today, a common solution is costly hardware overprovisioning and complex wiring. In this session, we will describe how Windows Server 8 enables data centers to use QoS and DCB-capable hardware to guarantee network bandwidth to a service. Because Windows Server 8 provides predictable network performance in a converged fabric environment, businesses will be able to virtualize and consolidate network I/O intensive workloads on a single 10GbE NIC thereby reducing costs and improving service. Partners, through familiar PowerShell and WMI interfaces, will be able to integrate these QoS features to provide a better service on Windows Server 8.

  15. Part of the Server+Cloud track Building secure, scalable multi-tenant clouds using Hyper-V Network Virtualization

    ACC 303 B on Thu, Sep 15 10:30 AM - 11:30 AM

    'Any service at any server in any cloud.' Next generation data centers should allow dynamic resource allocation and consolidation across large resource pools. The topological constrains of today’s data center networks limit how services can be assigned to servers. Windows Server 8 enables you to create an agile, multi-tenant cloud on top of your existing infrastructure by virtualizing the network. Network virtualization decouples server configuration from network configuration to provide a virtual dedicated network to each tenant. This allows seamless migration of workloads, while continuing to provide security isolation between tenants. Partners have the opportunity to become multi-tenancy aware and provide the next generation of services, devices, appliances, both physical and virtual, to augment and complete the Windows offering to build secure, scalable, multi-tenant public and private clouds.
