  1. Vista Rally Summit June 05, 2008 Bring PnP-X from Rally to the Forefront Web2Storage Corp Scott Smyth, CTO

  2. Demonstration and Lessons Learned Demonstration of two products: Web2Drive and Web2Server Both products were re-architected as we explored more of Rally Lessons learned about how to use and test PnP-X Throughout demo we will bring attention to the PnP-X lessons learned Web2Storage: the Rally Experience

  3. Web2Storage Technology Focus Two products-One Concept: Simplicity Web2Drive: the consumer storage ecosystem • Vista solution to “backup” service • Simple install makes Web2Drive show up like a local drive letter or USB device • Can integrate with and provide storage for other household media devices • Provides local and secure remote access Web2Server: the micro-business storage ecosystem • No IT personnel needed for setup/maintenance • Allows standardization of software for multiple users • Provides automated data protection • Provides secure remote access to data

  4. W2S Core Technologies • Secure Web2.0 Services running on Vista (WS Compliant) • Complete Rally integration (PnP-X, LLTD, and QoS, etc) • Architecture IP for transformation of appliances to services (whole solution for home and business) • 3rd party software integration WS (marketing API) • Icon and Context Menu WS (marketing API) • Solution for DVR and Media Server DRM storage expansion • MS Windows Update Testing (by association)

  5. Web2Storage Ecosystem – Home & Office • No IT expertise to setup ecosystem • Auto-launch backup with CDP • Configure email archiving for all connected clients • Auto-launch email encryption add-on • Optional software installs • Federate Web2Drives with Web2Server • Dynamic Icon and context menus • Either as a replicated Web2Server or as a SaaS provider. • Each client/user has its own volume • Constant data protection (CDP) • Local and remote access • Better method for software bundling • Potential method to extend PVR

  6. Web2Storage Platform and 3rd Party Software Demo • Web2Server s/w IntelESS • Yosemite FK pushed to clients-running CDP/ backups • Auto setup of Thunderbird email • Auto setup of eSET • Replicated Server or SaaS • Federation of Web2Drives with Web2Server • Web2Drive on a Freescale Platform • Silent install of Filekeeper Pro - CDP • Remote access to a Web2Drive-Marvelloff-campus • Tivo access to Web2Drive (not shown) • Direct connect Marvell 5182 with wireless

  7. Web2Storage Demo • Demo #1 • Web2Drive-Freescale and silent install of CDP • Web2Server-Intel with required & optional s/w • Demo #2 • Remote access to Web2Drive-Marvell, off campus • Demo #3 • Direct connect of Web2Drive

  8. Lessons Learned • Architect the PnP-X driver as thin as possible with the intelligence and flexibility of Web Services • Utilize the client features as much as possible, as it can extend to other OSes as well (e.g., XP) • Use a 64-bit system with good drivers available (e.g., not some of the notebooks that are around)‏ • Implement the Logo Testing based on your business strategy (e.g., Unclassified for licensed software) • Use manual restore points

  9. Testing for Unclassified Device Category • HowTo Addendum for DTM client for PnP-X Unclassified Category • Some configuration strategies when using DTM for PnP-X (x86 vs x64) • What not to do with DTM and PnP-X (or DTM, in general)

  10. An Addendum HowTo Step by Step Follow these steps within the online HowTo: • Not using ADS? Make sure you setup the workgroup across 2003 server and the clients to test before installing DTM studio and clients • Not using intranet DNS? Setup static IP addresses and edit C:/Windows/System32/drivers/etc/hosts file if not hosting your own DNS server for your intranet • Setup remote desktop and insure 2003 server can access each client based on name within etc/hosts file from #2 above. • Uninstall DDK AFTER any signing of x64 drivers you need to do before installing DTM (ie., you should have signed the drivers by this point)‏ • Install PnP-X driver as you would normally and check Device Manager in DTM studio to • Follow the regular HOWTO on Logo site for setup of Studio and Client(s)‏ • Set the DTM client service (WLK client in Services) to do delayed start-up

  11. Some Other Configuration Issues • Make sure you sign your drivers for x64 on the same computer you are testing (do not forget to uninstall DDK before installing DTM client!)‏ • Do NOT use VMware™ for any of the clients because of sleep states initiated with I/O tests • If you keep getting the “heartbeat not found for 30 minutes,” uninstall and reinstall the entire DTM • Turn off automatic updates for 2003 and do them manually up to SP1 • Do not let networked PnP-X devices go into sleep state unless network wake-up

  12. Useful Web Sites for DTM • Mailing List: microsoft.com/whdc/resources • Blogs: blogs.msdn.com/craigrow/default.aspx • URLs: www.microsoft.com/whdc/whql/WHQLerr.mspx
