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

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
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.
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
Dynamic Memory
• Startup VS Minimum – peaks during boot
• Second-level paging – additional memory during reboots
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
Move VM’s anywhere. Anytime. Live!
• Live Migration with High Availability
• SMB Live Migration
• Live Storage Migration
• Share noting Live Migration
• Multiple concurrent migrations
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
Top Features in Virtual Machine Manager 2012
• Improved Fabric Management
• Service Management Provisioning
• Clouds management – Private and Public

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