How it works Business Benefits
• Best enforce security by restricting IT • Reduce the number of administrators
administrative rights on your machines
• Configure role for specific administrative • Enhance security control of particular tasks
functions, but limit admin rights beyond those
functions • Improved auditing and reporting of activities
• Extension of PowerShell constrained endpoints
that adds in role definitions, virtual accounts, and
several other improvements
• A JEA endpoint consists of a PowerShell Session
Configuration file and one or more
Role Capability files
 How it works
• Shielded VMs are protected against unauthorized
access using various technologies such as
encryption of their virtual disks and extend even to
Hyper-V administrators
• New Shielded VMs can be created within the Azure
Pack management portal
• Existing VMs can also be converted to Shielded
VMs

Business Benefits
• Improved admin security and access managed to
applications and data (especially high
security/regulated businesses)
• Offers significant overall security enhancements made
across multiple components (including Hyper-V)

 How it works
• Windows Server Containers are highly scalable,
portable, build fast, and allow many isolated
applications to run on one computer system
• Hyper-V Containers encapsulates each container in a
light weight virtual machine. In addition to two
runtimes, both can be managed with either
PowerShell or Docker

Business Benefits
• Increased performance by reducing resources needs
of each instance
• Increased security by isolating application
environments
• Enable greater workload flexibility and portability
between on-premises and cloud deployment
Build: write, run, and scale within
containers
Run: container capabilities built into
Windows Server
Manage: deploy and manage using
PowerShell
Resources: define resources per
container
Network: IP options for connectivity
Consistency: consistent container
APIs
Compatibility: identical container
images
Strong isolation: dedicated kernel
copy
Highly trusted: proven Hyper-V
technology
Optimized: virtualization layer and
OS optimized

 How it works
• Enables storage-agnostic, block-level, synchronous
replication between servers or clusters (and sites) for
disaster recovery
• Synchronous replication enables mirroring of data in
physical sites with crash-consistent volumes to
ensure zero data loss at the file-system level
• Asynchronous replication allows site extension
beyond metropolitan ranges with the possibility of
data loss

Business Benefits
• Potential reduction of licensing costs or hardware
purchases for specialized storage solutions
• Helps reduce downtime, and increase reliability of
business data
 How it works
• Enables building highly available (HA) storage
systems with local storage
• Unlocks use of new classes of disk devices, such as
SATA and NVMe1 disk devices
• HA Storage Systems using storage nodes with only
local storage (internal or JBODs) eliminates the need
for a shared SAS fabric and its complexities, yet also
enables using devices such as SATA disks

Business Benefits
• Help manage storage costs by using a broader range
of storage options
• Simplifies deployment and management through
existing tools

How it works Business Benefits
• Protect critical applications, including SharePoint, • Protect your critical assets wherever they are
Exchange, and SQL Server; files and folders; Windows
• Cost effectively meet data retention regulations or
Servers and clients; and Azure infrastructure-as-a-service
(IaaS) virtual machines compliance requirements
• Ensure your data is secure and available with 99.9%
• Efficient over the network and on-disk with backup data service availability
securely stored in geo-replicated storage which maintains
6 copies of data across two Azure datacenters
• Once the initial seeding is complete, only incremental
changes are sent at a defined frequency
• Built-in features, such as compression, encryption, longer
retention, and bandwidth throttling, help boost IT
efficiency
• Replicating your workloads to Azure enables new
capabilities including applications that can be migrated to
Azure with just a few clicks, or burst to Azure temporarily
when you encounter a surge in demand
How it works Business Benefits
• Support for deployments in datacenters and virtual • Reduce capital costs for additional storage
arrays for smaller enterprise environments like infrastructure
remote and branch offices, which require network-
attached storage (NAS) • Reduces IT administrative overhead—helping reclaim
administrator hours
• On-demand infrastructure means no need to set
up or maintain costly on-premises equipment for • Maintain local copy of data for regulation/compliance
new or special projects. And by using local storage needs
for performance, you have the flexibility to retain
all volume data locally
• Automatically archive inactive primary data from
on-premises to the cloud to create effortless
capacity expansion by removing the need for
separate backup infrastructures
 Case Study: Thornhill Contracting Ltd
Industry: Horticulture, Thornhill Horticultural Contracting is a well established, large
supplier of labour to the Viticulture Industry in Marlborough and Hawkes Bay.

Challenge: Aging hardware, No backup or DR (USB), Remote Access to new LOB

Applications

Solution: Need A Nerd deployed an Azure virtual machine network to deliver the
application via Remote Desktop access for central access, control & data access.
Implemented Azure Backup & DR (ASR), Azure AD SSO (7 Days)

Benefits:
Application access is available remote locations
Cost of hosting the application scale with the businesses needs
Solution integrates with Office 365 for SSO features
Customer data is safe & secure in the cloud with multiple back systems in place
 Case Study: Mainfreight
Industry: Logistics
Business Challenge: Looking for increased agility & security in dev-ops, limited budget

Solution: Create testing environments without capital expenditure and lengthy lead times instead
of installing new hardware and more software licenses. $1100 vs $100k p.a.

Benefits:
This ease of replicating test environments meant more projects can be tested at once
Reduced security compliance needs because environments not in corporate DMZ, with usual
compliance costs.
Off shore testing resources and many customers are spread around the world, so environments
can be replicated easily in other Azure datacenters to simulate performance.
Environments can be turned off when not required, thus reducing the cost of operation
Easy dev test to production
Window Server 2016 Licensing
Licensing cores based on consumption

New computing models enable greater

mobility of data and apps between on-
premises and cloud

Moving to Core Licensing model establishes a

“common currency” for computing resources
on-premises or in the cloud

Aligns to the evolution of hardware technology

shift to core density not processor density
Licensing based on physical cores -- three basic rules

Core
1 All physical cores must be
licensed
Processor

2 Minimum licenses
per processor =
8 cores, even if
there are fewer
cores

3
Minimum licenses per
Physical system = 16 cores, even
server if there are fewer cores

Add Users and Devices
Efficiently With CALs
A CAL (client access license) gives a user or
device the right to access Windows Server on
your network via an authenticated connection
Required for each user or device that
accesses Windows Server 2016 Standard and
Datacenter editions
CALs are version-specific and may be used
to access the corresponding version of
Windows Server or any previous version
User CALs
Single user with unlimited devices
Ideal for employees who need roaming
access to corporate network
Device CALs
Single device with unlimited users
Ideal for multiple users for one device,
such as shift workers
RDS CALs
Required for remote desktop access
Ideal for users who need to access
programs or the desktop remotely
