Operational Efficiency and Reduced CostYour situation How much of your IT budget do you

expend on branch office support? Where are your biggest bottlenecks? How do your capabilities align with

your growth projections?

Operational Efficiency and Reduced CostHow we can help Analyze your technical and business

objectives. Assess your WAN usage. Optimize your storage and

communication capabilities. Design and deploy the Microsoft

Branch Office Solution.

Operational Efficiency and Reduced CostOur solution expertise Efficient WAN usage Simplified branch server

management Simplified IT management Robust file replication

Operational Efficiency and Reduced CostMore efficient WAN usage Remote Differential Compression (RDC)

Only file changes are replicated from the branch back to the data center

Advanced data compression Reductions in replication traffic can reach 85 to 90

percent Distributed File System Replication (DFS-R) Scheduling and bandwidth throttling Automatic recovery Multiple replication topologies

Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server

Improves WAN efficiencies Large data transfers without degradation Packet prioritization

Operational Efficiency and Reduced CostSimplified branch server management Microsoft Management Console (MMC) 3.0

Extends centralized control into branch offices Helps reduces IT personnel and costs

Automated Deployment Services (ADS) Scalable deployment Remote deployment

Microsoft Operations Manager (MOM) Centralized monitoring Automated problem resolution Reporting and trend analysis

Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS) Centralized patch and update distribution

Security and Reliability Your situation What are your most pressing

security concerns? Who determines branch security

policy? How are you addressing business

continuity? How often do your branches face

outages?

Security and Reliability How we can help Align security priorities. Implement best practices. Assess performance requirements. Analyze capacity requirements.

Security and Reliability Our solution expertise Branch site user and data autonomy More secure connections Greater security through patching

Accelerate Information Your situation Are your branch workers less

productive due to communication problems?

What are your performance priorities?

What challenges do you face in coordinating information flow?

Do your people have timely information to make better decisions and support your customers?

Accelerate InformationHow we can help Deliver information to the right

people at the right time, regardless of their location.

Increase communication efficiency and file management.

Enhance the end user’s experience and efficiency at your branch offices.

Accelerate Information Our solution expertise Uninterrupted branch office service High-performance WAN connectivity

Accelerate InformationUninterrupted branch office service Windows Server 2003 R2

Single server Service Virtualized Dedicated

Local replicas of remote data Failover with failback capabilities

Once the local branch server is up, users are automatically connected back to their branch server.

Microsoft Virtual Server resumes applications in downtime.

scheduling Each user saved 7.6 hours a year on

replication.* Each user saved 2.3 hours a year on restoring

files.* Each user saved 5.6 hours a year on

installation.*

Configurable Internet access rules and spam filtering

One company’s example 30 messages a day, 5 seconds to read and delete 7,500 employees working at an average of $14.42

per hour Approximately $90,000 per month or $1,080,000 per

year
