7. Hyper‑V Replica Replicate Hyper‑V VMs from a Primary to a Replica site • Affordable in-box business continuity and disaster recovery • Configurable replication frequencies of 30 seconds, 5 minutes and 15 minutes • Secure replication across network • Agnostic of hardware on either site • No need for other virtual machine replication technologies • Automatic handling of live migration • Simple configuration and management Upon site failure, VMs can be started on secondary site Once Hyper-V Replica is enabled, VMs begin replication Once replicated, changes replicated on chosen frequency Primary Site Secondary Site Initial Replica Replicated Changes CSV onBlockStorage SMB ShareFile BasedStorage

8. Hyper-V Replica | Extended Replication Replicate to 3rd Location for Extra Level of Resiliency Replication can be enabled on the 1st replica to a 3rd site Replication configured from primary to secondary • Once a VM has been successfully replicated to the replica site, replicacan be replicated to a 3rd location • Chained Replication • Extended Replica contents match the original replication contents • Extended Replica replication frequencies can differ from original replica • Useful for scenarios such as SMB -> Service Provider -> Service Provider DR Site DR Site Replication DASStorage

14. Dynamic Memory | Smart Paging VM2 VMn Maximum memory Utilize disk as additional, temporary memory Maximum memory • Hyper-V Smart Paging • Reliable way to keep a VM running when no physical memory is available • Performance will be degraded as disk is much slower than memory • Used in the following situations: • VM restart • No physical memory is available • No memory can be reclaimed from other virtual machines on that host VM1 Minimum memory Maximum memory Minimum memory Minimum memory • Hyper‑V Paging file provides additional memory for startup Memory reclaimed after startup Physical memory pool Physical memory pool Physical memory pool Physical memory pool Virtual machine starting with Hyper‑V smart paging Removing paged memory after virtual machine restart

15. New virtual hard disk format • Features • Storage capacity up to 64 TBs • Corruption protection during power failures • Optimal structure alignment for large-sector disks • VHDX Large allocations and 1 MB aligned Data region (large allocations and 1 MB aligned) Block Allocation Table (BAT) User data blocks • Benefits • Increases storage capacity • Protects data • Helps to ensure quality performance on large-sector disks Intent log Sector bitmap blocks Header region Metadata region (small allocations and unaligned) Metadata table User metadata Header File metadata

16. Online VHDX Resize Online VHDX Resize provides VM storage flexibility • Expand Virtual SCSI Disks • Grow VHD & VHDX files whilst attachedto a running virtual machine • Then expand volume within the guest • Shrink Virtual SCSI Disks • Reduce volume size inside the guest • Shrink the size of the VHDor VHDX file whilst the VM is running 30 GB Primary Partition 10 GB Unallocated 40GB Primary Partition Expanded Virtual Disk & Volume without Downtime

17. Storage Quality of Service Control allocation of Storage IOPS between VM Disks • Allows an administrator to specify a maximum IOPS cap • Takes into account incoming & outgoing IOPS • Configurable on a VHDX by VHDXbasis for granular control whilst VM is running • Prevents VMs from consuming allof the available I/O bandwidth tothe underlying physical resource • Supports Dynamic, Fixed& Differencing OS VHDX Virtual Machine Data VHDX Hyper-V Host 500 1000 0 1,500 IOPS

18. Guest Clustering with Shared VHDX Guest Clustering No Longer Bound to Storage Topology Flexible choices for placement of Shared VHDX • VHDX files can be presented to multiple VMs simultaneously, as shared storage • VM sees shared virtual SAS disk • Unrestricted number of VMs canconnect to a shared VHDX file • Utilizes SCSI-persistent reservations • VHDX can reside on a Cluster Shared Volume on block storage, or onFile-based storage • Supports both Dynamic and Fixed VHDX GuestCluster GuestCluster Hyper-VHost Clusters SharedVHDX File SharedVHDX File CSV onBlock Storage SMB ShareFile Based Storage

23. Storage Scale Multitenant Cost

24. Storage Spaces • Virtualization of storage with storage pools and storage spaces. • Storage resilience and availability with commodity hardware. • Data automatically tiered across memory, SSD and spinning disks. • Write-back cache to absorb spike in random writes. • Resiliency and data redundancy through n-way mirroring or parity mode. • Utilization optimized through thin and trim provisioning and enclosure awareness. • Integration with other Windows Server 2012 capabilities. • SSD, Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) and Serial AT Attachment (SATA) interconnects.

25. Hybrid storage pools & tiered storage Hot data • SSDs and HDDs used as different tiers in the same storage pool. • Windows automatically tracks data temperature and moves them at sub-file level. • Write-back cache improves performance for real-world workloads. • Only hot regions of a file (VHD, database, etc.) need to move to SSDs, the cold regions can reside on HDDs. • Ability to pin files to different tiers Cold data Tiered space Hybrid storage pool SSDs HDDs

26. What is Deduplication? The act of finding and removing duplication within data without compromising its fidelity or integrity Purpose: Store/Transfer less data How it works: Segment data into small variable sized chunks Identify and remove duplicate chunks Replace duplicate copies of each chunk with a reference to a single copy Compress chunks

27. Efficient storage through Data Deduplication • Maximize capacity by removing duplicate data. • Works with live VHD/VHDX files on remote VDI storage. • Increased scale and performance. • Better VM performance in VDI scenario • Low CPU and memory impact. • Configurable compression schedule. • Transparent to primary server workload. • Improved reliability and integrity. • Redundant metadata and critical data. • Checksums and integrity checks. • Increase availability through redundancy. • Faster file download times with BranchCache.
