  2. Top Features in Hyper-V 2012 • Storage improvements • Dynamic Memory • Hyper-V Replica • VM Mobility • New and Improved Networking Capabilities

  3. Storage Migration Storage Migration technology enables you to move a virtual machine and its storage to another location without downtime. • During migration the virtual machine hard drive is copied from one location to another • Changes are written to both source and destination drive • You can move virtual machine storage to same host, another host, or server message block share (SMB) • Storage and virtual machine configuration can be in different locations

  4. Storage Migration Hyper-V Virtual Machine • Enables Storage Load Balancing • No downtime servicing • Leverages Hyper-V Offloaded Data Transfer (ODX) 1 VHD Stack 3 2 VHD VHD 4 5 Destination Device Source Device

  5. Storage on SMB 3.0 file shares Hyper-v can store the following on SMB 3.0 file shares: • Configuration files • Virtual hard disk files (in VHD and/or VHDX format) • Snapshot files SMB 3.0 is available in Windows Server 2012 only

  6. Virtual Fibre Channel support With this Hyper-V virtual Fibre Channel feature, you can connect to Fibre Channel storage from within a virtual machine. This allows you to use your existing Fibre Channel investments to support virtualized workloads. Support for Fibre Channel in Hyper-V guests also includes support for many related features, such as virtual SANs, live migration, and MPIO.

  7. New Virtual Hard Disk format • Up to 64 TB per VHDX • Protection against data corruption • Improved alignment when deployed to a large sector disk • Larger block size for Dynamic and Differencing disks (4KB logical sectors) - Better performance

  8. Dynamic Memory • Startup VS Minimum – peaks during boot • Second-level paging – additional memory during reboots

  9. Introducing Hyper-V Replica • Disaster Recover Scenarios • Planned, Unplanned and Test Failover • Pre-Configuration for IP Settings for primary/remote location • Key Features • RPO/RTO in minutes • Seamless integration with hyper-V and Clustering No requirements!!! All you need is two connected 2012 Hyper-V servers

  10. Move VM’s anywhere. Anytime. Live! • Live Migration with High Availability • SMB Live Migration • Live Storage Migration • Share noting Live Migration • Multiple concurrent migrations

  11. Networking in Hyper-V 2012 • QOS - Minimum and Maximum bandwidth • Dynamic Virtual Machine Queue (VMQ) • DHCP and Router guard • Extensible Switching • NIC Teaming • Up to 32 NIC’s in a single team • Team NIC’s from different manufactures

  12. Top Features in Virtual Machine Manager 2012 • Improved Fabric Management • Service Management Provisioning • Clouds management – Private and Public

  13. Architectural changes Self Service Web Portal Operations Manager Management Group Console VMM Connector Windows PowerShell Virtual Machine Manager Management Server Management Interfaces VMware vCenter VMM Library Server VMware ESX Hosts and Clusters Hyper-V Hosts and Clusters

  14. Architectural changes Operations Manager Management Group Console VMM Connector Windows PowerShell Virtual Machine Manager Management Server Management Interfaces (Virtualization Abstraction, Storage, Networking) Windows Software Update Services (WSUS) Citrix XenServer Hosts and Clusters VMware vCenter VMM Library Server Windows Deployment Services (WDS) VMware ESX Hosts and Clusters Hyper-V Hosts and Clusters Storage and Network management

  15. Fabric Management • PhysicalServers • Manage multiple hypervisors – Hyper-V, VMware, Xen • Server hardware management – IPMI, DCMI, SMASH, Custom via Provider • Host provisioning – from bare metal to Hyper-V to Cluster provisioning • Networking • Define Logical Networks using VLANs and Subnets per datacenter location • Address management for Static IPs, Load Balancer VIPs and MAC addresses • Automated provisioning of Load Balancers via Provider (F5 and Citrix) • Storage • Storage Management using SMI-S (Netapp, HP, EMC) • Discover storage arrays and pools • Classify storage based on throughput and capabilities • Discover or configure LUNs and assign to hosts and clusters • Rapid provisioning of VMs using snapshot cloning of LUNs

  16. Fabric Management • Update Management of Fabric Servers • Update operation control (on-demand scan and on-demand remediation) • Updating a Hyper-V cluster is fully automated/orchestrated • Integrated with Windows Server Update Server • Dynamic Optimization (DO) • Cluster level workload balancing scheme to optimize VM performance • Leverages live migration to move workloads • Power Optimization (PO) • Powers down servers to optimize power utilization • Leverages live migration to pack more VMs per host

  17. Services Management

  18. Private Cloud Management • Defines a collection of resources that can be assigned to users or groups • Composed of a Fabric and Services

  19. Private Cloud Usage Scenario Configure the fabric (servers, network, storage) Create a cloud from the fabric Delegate the cloud to a Self Service User Self Service User creates VMs and Services in the cloud

  20.
