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 virtualize over 99% of the
world’s SQL Server.

Windows Server 2012 R2…
Datacenter
without
boundaries
Multitenant cloud infrastructure
Standardized datacenter
resource management
Enterprise-class virtualization
Robust open source support
Best-in-class performance and
scale for Microsoft workloads
High-performance live migration
Accelerate live migration performance
with compression or RDMA-capable
network adapters
For <10GBit network connectivity, live
migration compression delivers superior
performance – 2x acceleration for most
workloads
Compute
Network
RDMA delivers low latency CPU
and network utilization.
For >10GBit networks, Remote direct memory
access (RDMA) offload delivers the highest
performance with low CPU utilization and
transfer speeds of up to 56Gb/s
Windows Server 2012 R2 supports RoCE,
iWARP and Infiniband RDMA solutions
GbE (Gigabit Ethernet) network connectivity
Live migration with RDMA

Dynamic Storage
•
VMs have UEFI firmware with support
for GPT partitioned OS boot disks >2TB
•
Faster Boot from Virtual SCSI with Online
Resize & increased performance
Security
•
Removal of emulated devices reduces
attack surface
•
VM UEFI firmware supports Secure Boot

Online VHDX Resize provides
VM storage flexibility
Expand Virtual SCSI Disks
1. Grow VHD & VHDX files whilst attached
to a running virtual machine
2. Then expand volume within the guest
Shrink Virtual SCSI Disks
1. Reduce volume size inside the guest
2. Shrink the size of the VHD
or VHDX file whilst the VM is running

Windows Server Essentials Experience
Essentials functionalities are enabled via
a dedicated server role in Windows
Server Standard and Windows Server
Datacenter.
Familiar and seamless deployment
experience that sets up the most
fundamental roles for the primary
server.
Optional unattended deployment and
configuration using PowerShell.
