whitepaper MSDN Webcast: Windows Server 2008 and Hyper-V Virtualization for Building Server Appliances (Level 100)2008-05-20 Microsoft Tips
  The presenter of this webcast presents more about Microsoft Hyper-V, the new hypervisor-based virtualization technology included as part of Windows Server 2008 for Embedded Systems at no additional cost. With its built-in server virtualization technology, Windows Server 2008 for Embedded Systems enables Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) to increase hardware utilization and more easily build multi-function server appliances. OEMs can run new and legacy functionality side-by-side on the same hardware while ensuring workload isolation.

whitepaper TechNet Webcast: Microsoft Deployment Toolkit Advanced Scenarios (Level 300)2008-05-16 Microsoft Tips
  Microsoft Deployment Toolkit includes database integration that uses methods to automate multiple aspects of Windows Vista operating system deployment. The configuration database is a logical extension of the configuration settings that would normally exist in CustomSettings.ini. However, rather than configuring the CustomSettings.ini file, one can centrally store multiple values for settings in the database which is, in turn, referenced to retrieve the values for the properties stored in it. The specific values for those properties are then retrieved from the database at deployment time to customize the deployment without interaction.

whitepaper Certification Services Firm Uses Hypervisor Solution to Cut IT Costs, Improve Service2008-05-01 Microsoft
  Sporton International is a mobile communications certification company in Taiwan. Sporton had an overcrowded data center, incurring rising electricity and cooling costs for underutilized servers. Using manual provisioning and administration processes, IT employees were unable to respond quickly to requests from Sporton's developers for test environments. All that changed when Sporton deployed a virtualization solution with the Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V technology. Sporton virtualized servers in the production environment, increasing performance and reliability while saving 70 percent in server costs and improving server utilization up to 60 percent. IT staff use Hyper-V to provision servers in minutes and perform quick migration of virtual machines for robust business continuity - enhancements that are turning Sporton's IT department into a business enabler instead of a cost center.

whitepaper Packaging Company Reduces Cost and Complexity by Switching From Novell2008-04-01 Microsoft
  As one of the leading manufacturers of innovative packaging for liquid food products, Elopak has operations all over the world. In the past, most of its locations managed their own networks with their own IT staffs. Most of its 40 offices ran file and print and directory services on Novell NetWare, and used Windows NT and Windows Server for applications. This decentralized infrastructure was very labor-intensive to manage and made it difficult for the company to deploy solutions globally across the enterprise. To address these challenges, Elopak decided to outsource its infrastructure hosting and management to Unisys and to migrate from Novell to Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008.
