About Cloudmore• Service Distribution

– Indirect sales model– Leading service portfolio

• Reseller gets– Customer ownership– High margins

• ISV and SP gets– Wide distribution– Service aggregation

Why Microsoft?• Microsoft Hyper-V, especially with Windows Server 2008 R2 is

technology leader in virtualization• This is further enhanced when one takes into account System Center

VMM & OM combined with DPM and CM• The DDC concept then builds further on this, by taking all these

components, a network & deployment architecture incorporating SQL Server, AD, and other products to make the management of a virtualized environment much more flexible

• DDC also offers PowerShell and web-services, to facilitate automation of common tasks and self-management facilities allowing customers to deploy, management, monitor and even control their backup procedures for their own environment.

Lessons Learned• DDC Toolkit enables you to

– Build a solution to fit your customers needs– Address a far wider portion of the addressable IT expense

of the customers

• To deploy your own Dynamic Data Center– Prepare extensively– Be very tech oriented or partner with a hoster– Engage Silverlight developer to assist

How Microsoft stack up against competition?

1. Cost

2. Features3. Management

4. Platform Familiarity & App compatibility VMware costs 4x to 6x

more than Hyper-V. VMware Tax

Feature Parity for most common scenarios: High availability, & Clustering.

Leverage your existing platform skill and investment.Support for key MS server apps.

System Center supports Host, Guest and App Mgmt. Xen and VMware only supports Host Mgmt

Our value prop: it is the platform you know, apps your customers want to run, at the lowest cost
