Identity and Access Management: Identity and Access Management Active Directory Application Mode (ADAM) Lightweight, domain-independent mode of Active Directory for application directory scenarios Interoperability with Domain Mode for authentication Benefit: Tailor directory services infrastructure for local control/autonomy or shared services UNIX Identity Management Server for Network Information Service (NIS) helps integrate Windows and UNIX domains Password synchronization simplifies password maintenance across platforms Benefit: Efficient multi-platform identity management Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS) Windows Server 2003 R2 Features


Identity and Access ManagementActive Directory Federation Services (ADFS): Extend value of Active Directory deployments to facilitate secure web application access for employees, partners and customers Web SSO: Extranet authentication and single sign-on Identity Federation: Distributed web SSO across domains Promotes IT efficiency, end user productivity, and better security Works with existing Active Directory deployments Interoperable with 3rd party security solutions and heterogeneous application platforms Company A Company B Identity and Access Management Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS)


ADFS Scenario: Web SSO: ADFS Scenario: Web SSO User credentials and attributes managed in Active Directory/ADAM at the application Benefits: Single sign-on to farm of IISv6 web apps Stronger authentication via forms, client-side certs ADAM support: LDAP user store in perimeter Support for “road warrior” applications Windows Integrated Auth for internal users ADFS auth for external users


ADFS Scenario: Identity Federation: ADFS Scenario: Identity Federation User credentials and attributes managed in “home realm” by partner organization Benefits: Single sign-on to internal and partner web applications Fewer passwords for users to forget Lower password reset costs Centralized administration, delegated to partners Automated restriction of partner app access Logging of inbound and outbound access requests


ADFS: Standards-Based Solution: ADFS: Standards-Based Solution Active Directory Federation Services IBM PingID BMC Oracle CA Quest RSA Centrify + others… Multi-vendor, multi-platform interoperability via Web Services specifications WS-Federation


Identity and Access Management: Identity and Access Management Key Benefits Provide secure web application access to employees, partners and customers, across security boundaries Enable single sign-on for employees across internal and partner applications Centrally manage identities across Windows and UNIX systems Tailor directory services infrastructure to meet varying needs for decentralization or control Key Enablers ADFS, ADAM, Unix Identity Management Web Services Architecture (WS-*) interoperability specifications Other Windows Server tools: Windows SharePoint® Services Authorization Manager (AzMan)


Simplified Branch Server Management: Simplified Branch Server Management Identity and Access Management Efficient Storage Management


Efficient Storage Management: Efficient Storage Management Storage growth estimates: 60-100% per year Managing storage growth effectively is a challenge Adding more direct attached storage (DAS) increases complexity Networked storage solutions can be complex Few IT professionals are storage experts: 35% of organizations have moved from DAS to networked storage already 40% of organizations are considering moving to networked storage Costs of managing storage can be 10x the cost of storage Process of consolidating File Servers / Storage is involving Complex and error prone Potential disruption to end users The Challenges of Storage Today


Efficient Storage Management: Efficient Storage Management Windows Server 2003 R2 Storage Management (FSRM) (SMFS) Capacity Management (Reporting) Policy Management (Screening) Quota Management (Limiting) Configuration Management File Server Resource Manager Storage Manager for SANs Disk provisioning Disk management


Efficient Storage Management: Efficient Storage Management Capacity Management Identify where storage capacity is used inefficiently Identify mechanisms to prevent future capacity misuse Monitor usage patterns and utilization levels Policy Management Eliminate non-business files and improve storage utilization while reducing management costs Implement policies to restrict unauthorized files in order to limit legal exposure Promote a culture of accountability Quota Management Control the amount of space used for a folder or share and limit its impact on server utilization Monitor disk space usage growth per volume, folder, or share Slow down storage growth FSRM: User Scenarios and Benefits


Efficient Storage Management: Efficient Storage Management Administrator Challenges Small-midsize market want SAN benefits, but Existing tools are complex and expensive Administrators have limited experience with SAN technologies Want basic functionality enabling the administrator to easily share storage among servers User scenarios and benefits Offers basic SAN management functionality, including Device discovery LUN creation Storage allocation Enables Shared storage solutions Clustering SMFS: SAN Management and Provisioning


Editions and Features: Editions and Features * Only one of the replication partners is required to be an Enterprise Edition or Datacenter Edition


Licensing: Licensing Availability and Licensing R2 replaces original WS03 release in channels No cost for servers covered by Software Assurance or Enterprise Agreement Available as new server license for non-Software Assurance No new CALs for R2 - uses Windows Server 2003 CALs Same support lifecycle as WS03 Release: December 2005, Buy it in January 2006
