Hyper-V is Microsoft's server virtualization technology that is included with Windows Server 2008. It allows multiple virtual machines to run on a single physical machine. Key capabilities of Hyper-V include support for large memory virtual machines up to 64GB, live migration of virtual machines between physical servers, and integration with the Windows hypervisor for security and isolation of virtual machines. System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 provides centralized management of virtualized and physical infrastructure across Hyper-V, Virtual Server and VMware environments.

5. Hyper-V
Capabilities
– 32-bit (x86) & 64-bit (x64) VMs
– Large memory support (64 GB) per VM
– SMP VMs (up to 4 cores)
– Integrated cluster support for HA & Quick Migration
– BitLocker: Seamless, secure data encryption
– Live Backup: Volume Shadow Service integration
– Pass-through disk access for VMs
– Virtual Machine snapshots
– New hardware sharing architecture (VSP/VSC/VMBus)
• Disk, networking, input, video
– Robust networking: VLANs and NLB
– DMTF standard for WMI management interface
– Support for Full or Server Core installations

6. Windows Server Core
• Server Core: new minimal
installation option
– Provides essential server
functionality
– Command Line Interface only,
no GUI Shell
• Benefits
– Less code results in fewer
patches and reduced servicing
burden
– Low surface area server for
targeted roles
– More secure and reliable with
less management

7. Security
Isolation
– No sharing of virtualized devices
– Separate VMBus instance per vm to the parent
– No sharing of memory
• Each has its own address space
– VMs cannot communicate with each other, except through
traditional networking
– Guests can’t perform DMA attacks because they’re never
mapped to physical devices
– Guests cannot write to the hypervisor
– Parent partition cannot write to the hypervisor

8. Virtualization and High-Availability
• Traditional Non-Virtualized • Virtualized Environment
Environment – Value of the physical server
– Downtime is bad, but affects goes up
only one workload – Downtime is far worse
because multiple workloads
are affected
Virtualization and High-Availability Go Hand in Hand

9. Windows Server Virtualization
High Availability
• Providing solutions for both planned and unplanned downtime
• Planned downtime
– Quickly move virtualized workloads to service underlying hardware
– More common than unplanned
• Unplanned downtime
– Automatic failover to other nodes (hardware or power failure)
– Not as common and more difficult

10. Quick Migration Fundamentals
VHDs
1. Save state
a) Save entire vm state SAN Storage
2. Move virtual machine
a) Move storage connectivity
from origin to destination
host
3. Restore state and Run
a) Restore vm and run
b) Done Network Connectivity

16. Virtualization
“Virtualization without good management
is more dangerous than not using
virtualization in the first place.”
– TOM BITTMAN, GARTNER

17. Application and Desktop Virtualization

18. Mobile PCs yield positive ROI Corporate knowledge assets at risk
Mobile users work on average Over 600K laptops lost in US
3.2 hours per week more than in 2005; 80% of companies’
desktop users data on user PCs
Gartner, Forrester Safeware Insurance

24. Microsoft Application Virtualization*
Dynamically streaming software as a centrally managed service
Life without traditional software installation
• Applications to users at log on • Accelerated desktop deployment
• Centralized permissions • Minimize App to App compatibility testing
• Sandboxed applications • Run real-time usage reports
• Enable device roaming
In a recent IDC study, customers highlight the cost and time savings
with Application Virtualization
