8. Fabric Management Physical Server Integrate with WDS – Hyper-V Host Bare Metal deployment Integrate Remote Server hardware management – IPMI, DCMI, SMASH, Custom via Provider Manage multiple hypervisors – Hyper-V, VMware, Xen Fabrics Bare Metal Multiple Hypervisor Network Management Storage Management Update Management Dynamic Optimization Power Management Cluster Management VMM2012 Hyper-V VmwareVCenter Citrix XenServer Vmware ESX

9. Video Bare Metal & Managing Citrix

10. Fabric Management Fabrics Bare Metal Multiple Hypervisor Network Management Storage Management Update Management Dynamic Optimization Power Management Cluster Management Network Define Logical Networks using VLANs and Subnets per datacenter location Address management for Static IPs, Load Balancer VIPs and MAC addresses Load Balancer Integration (F5, Netscaler, Brocade) Storage Storage Management using SMI-S (EMC, NetApp, EVA, etc) 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 snap cloning of LUNs

11. Fabric Management Update Management of Fabric Servers Integrated with Windows Server Update Server Fabrics Bare Metal Multiple Hypervisor Network Management Storage Management Cluster Management Update Management Dynamic Optimization Power Management Host is now offline for servicing Windows Update Shared Storage

13. Fabric Management Dynamic Optimization (DO) Keeps cluster balanced for resource usage Live Migration avoids VM downtime Does not require Operations Manager Supports Hyper-V, VMware and Citrix XenServer clusters Fabrics Bare Metal Multiple Hypervisor Network Management Storage Management Cluster Management Update Management Dynamic Optimization Power Management Power Optimization (PO) Leverages live migration to pack more VMs per host Powers down servers to optimize for power utilization Leverages out-of-band management for power off/on

14. CLOUD Management Cloud Private Cloud Compute: Logical grouping of hosts or clusters in host groups Storage: Storage Classifications, Pools, Providers and Arrays Network: Logical Networks, IP/MAC Address Pools, Load Balancers, VIP Templates Application Owner Usage Capacity and Capabilities Delegation and Quota Cloud Capacity and Capabilities Aggregate capacity of underlying resources Dimension of Capacity vCPU , vMemory, vStorage, # of VM, Quota Built- in set representing underlying limits for Hyper-V, Citrix Xen and Vmware Processor Range (i.e. 1 - 4) Memory Range (i.e. 16MB – 32 GB) Number of disks (0 – 7) Number of NICs (0 – 7) Delegation - User Role Quota: Defines per-user limits on compute, memory, storage, number of VMs

15. Private Cloud Management Video

16. Services Management Service Templates Used to model a multi-tier application Source of truth for deployed service configuration Applications Built-in support for Web deploy, Server App-V, SQL DAC Custom command execution for other application packages Image-based OS separated from apps Composed during deployment Servicing Change the template and then apply that change to deployed instances Services Services Template Application Deployment Image Based Services Servicing
