  13. Simplified Branch Server ManagementEnabling Technologies:Print Role • New Print Management Console (PMC) in R2 • With PMC, branch servers can easily be print servers because they are remotely manageable on a 1-to-many basis Printers Node Servers Node Enabling Technologies:Print Role

  14. DPM And Windows Server 2003 R2 • If client wants high availability/failover of branch office file servers, we recommend Windows Server 2003 R2. • For centralized backup and fast recovery of branch office files with multiple recovery points, we recommend DPM. • For both high availability/failover and centralized backup capabilities, recommend both Windows Server 2003 R2 and DPM.

  25. Efficient Storage ManagementThe Challenges of Storage Today • Storage growth estimates: 60-100% per year • Managing storage growth effectively is a challenge • Adding more direct attached storage (DAS) increases complexity • Networked storage solutions can be complex • Few IT professionals are storage experts: • 35% of SMBs have moved from DAS to networked storage already • 40% of SMBs are considering moving to networked storage • Costs of managing storage can be 10x the cost of storage • Process of consolidating File Servers/Storage is involving • Complex and error prone • Potential disruption to end users

  26. Efficient Storage ManagementWindows Server 2003 R2 Storage Management File Server Resource Manager (FSRM) Capacity Management Quota Management Policy Management File Screening Storage Manager for SANs (SMFS) Configuration Management Disk provisioning Disk management

  27. Efficient Storage ManagementFSRM: Administrator Challenges • Capacity Management • Determine existing storage capacity usage • Determine whether usage effectively supports organizational goals • Define and implement storage policies • Adjust the policies as capacity needs grow • Policy Management • No easy way to control the type of data stored on file servers • Unwanted content must be identified manually • Quota Management • User home directories often grow quickly causing space issues • Departmental shares can also grow unexpectedly • Administrators are only aware of storage crises after the fact

  28. Efficient Storage ManagementFSRM: User Scenarios and Benefits • Capacity Management • Identify where storage capacity is used inefficiently • Identify mechanisms to prevent future capacity misuse • Monitor usage patterns and utilization levels • Policy Management • Eliminate non-business files and improve storage utilization • Implement policies to restrict unauthorized files • Promote a culture of accountability • Quota Management • Control the amount of space used for a folder or share • Monitor disk space usage growth per volume, folder, or share • Slow down storage growth
