VM Server hosting
IIS
• The core design must allow these varying types of VM workloads to be deployed across the system, in other words
dedicated configuration of hosts or network components to meet the requirements of specific services is not
attractive. As it breaks modular scalability goals.
• Opening new markets for VDI and RDSH.
• Graphics and CAD / CAM. (RemoteFX GPU’s) - Dell 12th Generation R720 supports 4 x GPU’s (AMD 7800p)
• Iwarp (inbox software GPU) for lesser Directx 11 graphics workloads (Office 2010 for example)
• Make the VM look, perform and feel like a physical machine.
• Delivery of end-to-end solution on commodity hardware.
• JBODS
• SANS
• No 3rd party middleware costs reductions. (no VMware or Citrix for example )

Customer Requirements
• Provide true duel site HA with minimum cost
– Via Hyper-v Replica (out of the box solution)
• Deliver full high-availability and continuous availability across all subsystems
and services.
• Compete abstraction between storage fabric and Hyper-Visor layer.
– Continuous Available Storage File cluster
– Hyper-v over SMB
– Hyper-v Application workload server
• “Hot” scale out, therefore allowing hardware to be purchased and deployed
inline with user demand.
• Complete “zero hands” deployment, management and administration.
– Reduction in management technologies and API’s.
• PowerShell now primary platform.
• Previous generations of O/S have required over 10 different technologies to achieve the same
task.

Dell Test/Poc Platform
• Dell 12th Generation Server R720
– 256GB RAM
– 4 x ATI 7800P GPU’s (4 x GPU fitting kits)
• MD12000 Powervault Storage
– 4 x MD1200 Daisy chained for each R720 node
– Dual 6Gb SAS HA controllers for scale and resiliency (> 800 IOPS)
• Storage Spaces .
– Mirrored Spaces - Pool 1, Space 1 per node
• Clustering
– 4 x Node HA Continuously Available File services
– Hyper-v over SMB to present \\ share to Hyper-v application servers

3rd Party Software Spend reduction
• Windows Server 2012 Hyper-v Maturity
– Removal of VMware license costs
– System Centre 2012 for Multi-Hypervisor management
• Migration and Coexistence with Hyper-v
• Windows Server 2012 RDP/RDSH Maturity
– Removal of Citrix costs for more scenarios compared to 2008 R2 SP1
• WAN scenarios / High Latency Scenarios
• Closer to near local performance responses for browser applications
• Graphics scenarios (Hardware GPU and Software GPU)
• WAN Links tested FOR VDI & RDSH (RDP 8 does actually work)
– Flash and I.E applications work well simultaneously ( compared to RDP 7)
– 512 KB - very useable for I.E, Word , Excel
– 4 MB / Second - very useable for Audio, Video play back and is near local perf
• 2/3 MB /S IS THE TARGET (With Remotefx , Audio/Video)
– Above 100 MS response becomes laggy with touch
• Clustering
– 4 x Node HA Continuously Available File services
– Hyper-v over SMB to present \\ share to Hyper-v application servers
