Storage improvements Dynamic Memory Hyper-V Replica VM Mobility New and Improved Networking Capabilities

Storage Migration technology enables you to move a virtual machine and its storage to another location without downtime. During migration the virtual machine hard drive is copied from one location to another Changes are written to both source and destination drive You can move virtual machine storage to same host, another host, or server message block share (SMB) Storage and virtual machine configuration can be in different locations

Enables Storage Load Balancing No downtime servicing Leverages Hyper-V Offloaded Data Transfer (ODX) Hyper-V Virtual Machine Source Device Destination Device VHD VHD Stack

Hyper-v can store the following on SMB 3.0 file shares: Configuration files Virtual hard disk files (in VHD and/or VHDX format) Snapshot files SMB 3.0 is available in Windows Server 2012 only

With this Hyper-V virtual Fibre Channel feature, you can connect to Fibre Channel storage from within a virtual machine. This allows you to use your existing Fibre Channel investments to support virtualized workloads. Support for Fibre Channel in Hyper-V guests also includes support for many related features, such as virtual SANs, live migration, and MPIO.

Up to 64 TB per VHDX Protection against data corruption Improved alignment when deployed to a large sector disk Larger block size for Dynamic and Differencing disks (4KB logical sectors) - Better performance

Startup VS Minimum – peaks during boot Second-level paging – additional memory during reboots

Disaster Recover Scenarios Planned, Unplanned and Test Failover Pre-Configuration for IP Settings for primary/remote location Key Features RPO/RTO in minutes Seamless integration with hyper-V and Clustering No requirements!!! All you need is two connected 2012 Hyper-V servers

Live Migration with High Availability SMB Live Migration Live Storage Migration Share noting Live Migration Multiple concurrent migrations
