- 19. The Bigger Truth Why This Matters Performance scaled and response times dropped as Hyper-V R2 web server VMs were added to a consolidated SharePoint deployment on a single physical server. The manageably low performance impact of Hyper-V R2 won’t be detected by the vast majority of end-users and applications. The performance, scalability, and low overhead of Hyper-V R2 can be used to reduce costs and improve the manageability, flexibility, and availability of consolidated SharePoint applications. © 2011 Enterprise Strategy Group 19

Issues to Consider • Mileage varies; test with your workloads and your data • Hyper-V • Included for free with Windows Server 2008 • Proven to perform with demanding applications • Size matters • Application and web server roles are good candidates for virtualization • For larger deployments, consider deploying resource-bound SQL Server and Index roles on physical servers • High availability matters • Leverage ESG Lab Validations, Microsoft and its partners’ best practices/proof points © 2011 Enterprise Strategy Group 20

Editor's Notes
- #5 BenefitsBetter consolidation ratios with predictable performanceEnables linear scalability for deployment environmentsDesigned for production useRecommendations for use for server applications still being evaluated.With the SP1 release, we will meet all the Gartner/Burton group requirements for an Enterprise ready Hypervisor
- #23 iSCSI Performance can be as good or better than either Fibre Channel or FCoE. iSCSI can offer a compelling offering for those who don’t want to invest in FC.Windows Server and Hyper-V is not a limiting factor to IO performance. There shouldn’t be any significant concern around IO for virtualizing with Hyper-V.More details (along with a great Photoshop picture) at http://gestaltit.com/all/tech/storage/stephen/microsoft-and-intel-push-one-million-iscsi-iops/
