A community for everyone who is
interested in Microsoft's Windows Server
technologies - especially Windows Server
2008
Formed in 2007 – just getting started
Have run a few events – more to come

Microsoft’s virtualisation platform
{for the Enterprise}
What is virtualization virtualisation?
Hyper-V architecture
Installation of Hyper-V
Management of Hyper-V
Questions? (and hopefully some answers!)

Whilst I was writing this presentation, Microsoft made a Hyper-V
release candidate (RC) available. As a consequence, the contents of
this presentation are based on the beta release – there may be some
variations for RC (and RTM) releases.

The technologies {and the opportunity}
“Virtualization essentially lets
one computer do the job of multiple
computers, by sharing the resources of a single computer across multiple environments.
[…]
In essence, virtualization lets you transform hardware into software. Use software
[…] to transform or “virtualize” the hardware resources of an x86-based computer – including
the CPU, RAM, hard disk and network controller – to create a fully functional
virtual machine that can run its own operating system and
applications just like a “real” computer.
Multiple virtual machines share hardware resources without interfering with each other so
that you can safely run several operating systems and applications at
the same time on a single computer”

“Although virtualization has been the
buzz among technology providers, only
6% of enterprises have actually deployed
virtualization on their networks, said
Levine, citing a TWP Research report.
That makes the other 94% a wide-open
market.”
The Rise of the Virtual Machine and
the Real Impact It Will Have
“We calculate that roughly 6% of new
servers sold last year were virtualized and
project that 7% of those sold this year will
be virtualized and believe that less than
4% of the X86 server installed base has
been virtualized to date.
Pat Gelsinger, Intel VP Sept. 2007
“Only 5% of servers are virtualized.”

“The [virtualisation field] is
nowhere near saturated. IDC
estimates that only 17% of
the worldwide server market
will be virtualised by 2010, up
from 5% in 2005.”

Volume shadow service integration for data protection
Pass-through disk access for VMs
Virtual machine snapshots
New hardware sharing architecture (VSP/VSC/VMBus)
Robust networking: VLANs and NLB
DMTF standard for WMI management interface
Support for full or server core installations
All child partitions are untrusted
Root must be trusted by hypervisor; parent must
be trusted by children
Code in guests can run in all available processor
modes, rings, and segments
Hypercall interface will be well documented and
widely available to attackers
All hypercalls can be attempted by guests
It is possible to detect that you are running on a
hypervisor
The internal design of the hypervisor will be well
understood
No sharing of virtualized devices
Separate VMBus to the parent for each child
partition
No sharing of memory
Each virtual machine has its own address space
VMs cannot communicate with each other, except
through traditional networking
Guests can’t perform DMA attacks because they’re
never mapped to physical devices
Guests cannot write to the hypervisor
Even the parent partition cannot write to the
hypervisor
Providing solutions for both planned and
unplanned downtime
Planned downtime
Quickly move virtualized workloads to service
underlying hardware – “quick migration”
More common than unplanned
Unplanned downtime
Automatic failover to other nodes (hardware or
power failure) – “live migration”
Not as common and more difficult

Hyper-V:
Microsoft’s new enterprise virtualisation platform
Would you rather have 100% of VMware Virtual Infrastructure’s
features (at a price), or 90% of the functionality (for much less)?
There are some good built-in management tools, but SCVMM
completes the picture (and is useful for multi-server deployments).
In general:
When many machines are consolidated, clustering becomes
critical
Promote standardisation by providing a library of pre-built VMs
Use desired configuration management processes to trap and
correct drift
Remember that VMs still need to be patched, even when they are
turned off
Be prepared for support arrangements and license management
to become more complex
