Takeaway
• Hyper-V Improvement
Session Objectives • Demo
• Understand Hyper-V features in
Key Takeaway Windows 8
• Journey to the Cloud

3. Windows Server 8 is Cloud Optimized
Virtualization a core part of “Windows 8 Server”

5. Data Protection
Hyper-V in Windows 8

6. Hyper-V Replica
• Disaster Recovery Scenarios:
– Planned, Unplanned and Test Failover
– Pre-configuration for IP settings for primary/remote location
• Key Features:
– Seamless integration with Hyper-V and Clustering
– Automatically handles all VM mobility scenarios (e.g. Live migration)
– Supports heterogonous storage between primary and recovery

7. Windows Backup Improvement

25. Virtual Machine Fibre Channel
Hyper-V Hyper-V  New in Windows 8:
Host Host FibreChannel into the
guest. This gives customers
another option for guest
clustering.
CSV  Hyper-V will use hardware
offloads:
 ODX
 Trim
External Storage Array

26. Remote File Server
Hyper-V Hyper-V
Hyper-V supports file storage through
Host Host the SMB protocol. This works in all
scenarios, including
planned/unplanned failover and live
migration. You can cluster the file
server for availability and scalability.
Cross-cluster live migration requires
remote file servers.
File Server
Requirements:
 Requires updated protocol, SMB 2.2
 Requires remote VSS for host based
backup

Live Migration Improvement
- Cluster Host
- Stand Alone Host
