Virtual PC
Applications
OS
User authentication (online over SSL or offline based on local cache)Per user/group usage policies (e.g. expiration, time limits for offline work)Host-guest data transfer control (e.g. copy-paste, file transfer, printing)
Provisioning based on Microsoft Active-Directory® users/groupsAssign a virtual image and define which applications are available to the userRedirect predefined websites (e.g. corporate intranet) to the virtual environment
Manage heterogeneous environmentsAutomate first-time virtual PC setup(e.g. initial network setup, unique computer name, domain join)Adjust virtual PC memory allocation based on available RAM on host
Centralized database for client monitoring, tracking and remote troubleshooting
MED-V v1 Management Capabilities
Control usage permissions and virtual PC settings
Provision, centrally manage and monitor
MED-V TrimTransfer Image Delivery(only when using MED-V IIS-based image repository)
How to Update/Patch Virtual Images?
Initial delivery
Alt. I: update the “Master” image once and deliver image differences to endpoints
Alt. II: connect to Active Directory domain and use standard software delivery
Easy to manageUser data and settings must be saved on the network Standard! (use WSUS, SCCM, etc)
MED-V v1 Server Requirements
OS: Windows Server 2008 (Standard/Enterprise)Recommended HW: Dual Processor (2.8ghz), 4GB RAMActive-directory: Joined to domain for authenticationImage repository: IIS web server Reporting database (optional): MS SQL Server (2005 SP2 Enterprise or 2008 Express/Standard/Enterprise)Scale:
Up to 5000 users for the management serverImage delivery - use multiple IIS web servers or manually deliver images through System Center Config Mgr distribution points (no integration in v1)
MED-V v1 Client RequirementsHost

MED-V Customers Say…Belgacom Group – “MED-V saves us time in standardizing our desktop across the multiple entities of the Belgacom group…With thousands of users in our environment, MED-V will significantly reduce the time required for testing and migrating the applications we have.”Belfast Health and Social Care Trust (22,000 staffs)* - “We found that MED-V really solved our application compatibility problems. It allowed us to deploy the applications, where third party vendors were not providing a supported version. Where we used to have hundreds of images, we were able to move to one [Windows] Vista image, and use MED-V to deploy [legacy] applications on top of that”Large European teleco. (80,000 employees)* - “We are really happy with MED-V. We can virtualize the applications that are made only for XP, and they work fine, with all the functionality intact”
