  1. VIR312 What’s new in Hyper-V in Windows Server 2012 (Part 1) Stu Fox (@stufox) Technical Specialist, Microsoft NZ

  2. Agenda • What’s new in Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V Part 1 • Scale-up Workloads • Storage • Clustering & Resiliency • Automation & Management • Virtual Machine Migration • What’s new in Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V Part 2 • Networking • VM Mobility • Disaster Recovery • Linux VM’s

  3. Helping You Cloud Optimize Your Business Public Identity ▪ Virtualisation ▪ Management ▪ Development Commontechnologies Private The Microsoft Hybrid Cloud

  4. Building your own cloud just got a lot easier with Windows Server 2012.

  5. Scale-up Workloads LEARN MORE [VIR413] Hyper-V Performance, Scale & Architecture Changes

  6. Mission Critical Workloads Scale Live Migration should just work • Scale isn’t just more virtual processors • No tradeoffs Performance must increase with cores Virtualise workloads considered “non-virtualisable” • Maximize your investment • Let’s build the best cloud together

  7. Hyper-V Scale ComparisonMassive Scale in the Box

  8. Scaling up: Physical NUMA NUMA node 1 NUMA node 2 • NUMA (Non-uniform memory access) • Helps hosts scale up the number of cores and memory access • Partitions cores and memory into “nodes” • Allocation and latency depends on the memory location relative to a processor • High performance applications detect NUMA and minimize cross-node memory access Processors Memory Host NUMA

  9. Scaling up: Physical NUMA NUMA node 1 NUMA node 2 Processors • This is optimal… • Memory allocation and thread allocations within the same NUMA node • Memory populated in each NUMA node Memory NUMA node 3 NUMA node 4 Processors Memory Host NUMA

  10. Scaling up: Physical NUMA NUMA node 1 NUMA node 2 Processors • This isn’t optimal… • System is imbalanced • Memory allocation and thread allocations across different NUMA nodes • Multiple node hops • NUMA Node 2 has an odd number of DIMMS • NUMA Node 3 doesn’t have enough • NUMA Node 4 has no local memory (worst case) Memory NUMA node 3 NUMA node 4 Processors Memory Host NUMA

  11. Scaling Up: Guest NUMA NUMA node 1 NUMA node 2 NUMA node 3 NUMA node 4 • Guest NUMA • Presenting NUMA topology within VM • Guest operating systems & apps can make intelligent NUMA decisions about thread and memory allocation • Guest NUMA nodes are aligned with host resources • Policy driven per host – best effort, or force alignment vNUMA node A vNUMA node A vNUMA node B vNUMA node B

  12. Storage

  13. Your input on Storage Leverage storage array capabilities Native access to SANs from VMs • Maximize your investment • No tradeoffs Help reduce the cost of storage Highly Scalable Virtual Disks • For workloads that don’t require a SAN • Big data is here

  14. Dynamic, High Performance Storage • Live Storage Migration • Virtual Fiber Channel • Support for File Based Storage on SMB 3.0 • New VHDX Format • Online MetaOperations • Live VHD Merge (Snapshot Merge) • Live New Parent • Native 4K Disk Support • Offloaded Data Transfer (ODX) • UNMAP Support LEARN MORE [VIR314] Hyper-V Live Migration & Storage Migration

  15. VHDX The New Default Format for Virtual Hard Disks Up To 64 TB MB Alignment Internal Log Enhanced Perf Embed Custom Metadata Larger Block Sizes User Defined Metadata Large Sector Support Enhanced Resiliency Larger Virtual Disks

  16. VHDX Performance - 32KB Random Writes IOPS Queue Depth 16

  17. VHDX Performance - 1MB Sequential Writes MB/S 25% 25% Queue Depth 16

  18. Offloaded Data Transfer (ODX) Token Offload Write Offload Read Token Token Virtual Disk Virtual Disk Actual Data Transfer Intelligent Storage Array

  19. Hyper-V ODX Support • Secure Offload data transfer • Fixed VHD/VHDX Creation • Dynamic VHD/VHDX Expansion • VHD/VHDX Merge • Live Storage Migration ~3 Minutes <1 Second!

  20. Increased Storage Efficiency – Unmap • Unmap • Storage Informed Of Unused Space • Efficiencies At Virtual Layer • Allows Reuse Of Unused Blocks • Efficiencies At Physical Layer • VMs Unmap Passed To Hardware • Supported On • VHDX & PassThru Disks • Virtual SCSI or Virtual Fibre Channel Hyper-V Host VM VHD Stack VHDX External Storage Array

  21. ODX & UNMAP

  22. Hyper-V Storage No Limits & Dynamic

  23. Hyper-V: Over 1 Millions IOPs from a Single VM • Industry Leading IO Performance • VM storage performance on par with native • Performance scales linearly with increase in virtual processors • Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V can virtualise over 99% of the world’s SQL Server.

  24. Securing Data at Rest

  25. CriticalSafeguard for the CloudEncrypted cluster volumes • BitLocker encrypted cluster disks • Support for traditional failover disks • Support for Cluster Shared Volumes • Cluster Name Object (CNO) identity used to lock and unlock Clustered volumes • Enables physical security for deployments outside of secure datacenters • Branch office deployments • Volume level encryption for compliance requirements • Negligible (<1%) performance impact

  26. Clustering & Resiliency

  27. Your input on High Availability VMs Need Access to Fibre Channel SANs Legacy Apps that don’t support Clustering • We have apps and data there… • Let’s improve availability of those apps too Ease integration with SAN replication/snapshotting Highly Scalable Virtual Disks Make it all work. • Big data.

  28. Availability Enhancements • Windows NIC Teaming • Continuously Available File Server (SMB) storage • CSV 2.0 Integration with Storage Arrays for Replication & HW snapshots out of the box • Guest Clustering via Fiber Channel for HA • Support for Concurrent Live/Live Storage Migrations • Major Failover Cluster Enhancements… LEARN MORE LEARN MORE [WSV326] The Path to Continuous Availability in Windows Server 2012 [WSV321] NIC Teaming and Multichannel Solutions
