Virtualization Scenarios in Hosting

• Shared Hosting

– Better isolation for websites

• Dedicated Hosting

– Self managed, delegated virtual instances

– Retire old hardware using virtualization

– Consolidate low end servers with fewer machines

• VPS Hosting

– Fill the gap between Shared and Dedicated scenarios

– Upsell Memory, CPU

• Managed Hosting

– Backup and Restore

– Business Continuity

– Test/Dev Environments

Example – Hyper-V Hosting packages

"cPanel's Windows development team feels that Microsoft IIS7 offers a robust, high-

performance Web server with increased security that the industry will quickly adopt.”

J. Nick Koston, CEO, cPanel

“Working closely with Microsoft we have been able to learn, and influence the best web server

the Microsoft hosting providers has ever seen.”

Chris Morrow, Lead Developer, MaximumASP

“…we are now able to reduce sites overhead giving us more resources for additional users

and a faster ROI. …working with the new AppCmd.exe allowed us to be the first hosting

provider to offer Windows 2008 Server with full control center integration.”

Jon Thompson, Server Operations Manager, CrystalTech

Windows Server 2008 Early Deployments

WS08 Proof Points

IIS 7 Modular design

give hosters control of

memory footprint

“With the better memory

management and modular design, I

believe we‟ll see performance,

reliability, and security on the

Windows hosting platform continue

to improve”

Do more with fewer

servers, reducing TCO

From what we‟ve seen so far, we think it

will be possible to significantly reduce

the amount of „tin‟ in the data center.

IIS7 appears to offer a great TCO

benefit,”

Improved Diagnostics Internal operations will definitely take

advantage of IIS7‟s ability to look into

what‟s going on inside the worker

processes.”

Easier to provision Using the new APIs, we‟ve

streamlined our provisioning

system, reducing the code base

by about 50 percent.
