We are winning virtualization share Change In Market Share Over The Past 5+ Years We are winning virtualization share Microsoft Hyper-V Server +30.6 % Points x86 Server Virtualization Share For The Past 5+ Years Windows Server 2012 Released Q1 CY2008 Windows Server 2008 Released Q3 CY2009 Windows Server 2008 R2 Q3 CY2012 Windows Server 2012 Q3 CY2014 CURRENT Change Since Hyper-V Released Microsoft Hyper-V Server 0.0% 11.8% 25.9% 30.6% +30.6 Pts ESX 40.0% 46.6% 51.4% 46.2% +6.2 Pts Windows Server 2008 R2 Released ESX +6.2 Windows Server 2008 Released CY 2008 Q1 CY 2009 Q3 CY 2012 CY 2014 Source: IDC WW Quarterly Server Virtualization Tracker, December 2014. Hyper-V and ESX + vSphere shares based on percent market share among all x86 new hypervisor deployments (nonpaid and paid). x86 hypervisor shipments include those sold on new servers, new nonpaid hypervisor deployments aboard new servers, and new hypervisor sales and nonpaid hypervisor deployments on installed base servers. Share gains for Hyper-V and ESX + vSphere come in part from market share transfers from older products from same vendors.

Shared VHDX

Replica Support for Hot Add of VHDX When you add a new virtual hard disk to a virtual machine that is being replicated – it is automatically added to the not-replicated set. This set can be updated online. Set-VMReplication "VMName" -ReplicatedDisks (Get-VMHardDiskDrive "VMName")
Dynamic memory is great, but more can be done. Runtime Memory Resize Dynamic memory is great, but more can be done. For Windows Server 2016 guests, you can now increase and decrease the memory assigned to virtual machines while they are running.
Hot add / remove of network adapters Network adapters can be added and removed from Generation 2 virtual machines while they are running.
Demo: Memory Resize and hot add network adapters
Scale Improvements
Evolving Hyper-V Backup New architecture to improve reliability, scale and performance. Decoupling backing up virtual machines from backing up the underlying storage. No longer dependent on hardware snapshots for core backup functionality, but still able to take advantage of hardware capabilities when they are present.
Built in change tracking for Backup Most Hyper-V backup solutions today implement kernel level file system filters in order to gain efficiency. Makes it hard for backup partners to update to newer versions of Windows Increases the complexity of Hyper-V deployments Efficient change tracking for backup is now part of the platform
VM Configuration Changes New virtual machine configuration file Binary format for efficient performance at scale Resilient logging for changes New file extensions .VMCX and .VMRS
Operations
Production Checkpoints Delivers the same Checkpoint experience that you had in Windows Server 2012 R2 – but now fully supported for Production Environments Uses VSS instead of Saved State to create checkpoint Restoring a checkpoint is just like restoring a system backup
PowerShell Direct to Guest OS You can now script PowerShell in the Guest OS directly from the Host OS No need to configure PowerShell Remoting Or even have network connectivity Still need to have guest credentials
Network Adapter Identification You can name individual network adapters in the virtual machine settings – and see the same name inside the guest operating system. PowerShell in host: PowerShell in guest: Add-VMNetworkAdapter -VMName “TestVM" -SwitchName "Virtual Switch" -Name "Fred" -Passthru | Set-VMNetworkAdapter -DeviceNaming on Get-NetAdapterAdvancedProperty | ?{$_.DisplayName -eq "Hyper-V Network Adapter Name"} | select Name, DisplayValue
ReFS Accelerated VHDX Operations Taking advantage of an intelligent file system for: Instant fixed disk creation Instant disk merge operations
Demo: PowerShell Direct, Production Checkpoints
Isolation
Distributed Storage QoS Windows Server 2012 R2: Introduced the ability to limit maximum IOPs for an individual virtual hard disk
Distributed Storage QoS Windows Server 2016: Leveraging Scale Out File Server to allow you to: Define IOPs reserves for important virtual hard disks Define a IOPs reserve and limit that is shared by a group of virtual machines / virtual hard disks
Host Resource Protection Dynamically identify virtual machines that are not “playing well” and reduce their resource allocation.
Enhancing the platform
Hyper-V Manager Improvements Multiple improvements to make it easier to remotely manage and troubleshoot Hyper-V Servers: Connecting via WinRM Support for alternate credentials Requires that you have CredSSP enabled on server and client (http://blogs.msdn.com/b/powershell/archive/2008/06/05/credss p-for-second-hop-remoting-part-i-domain-account.aspx) Connecting via IP address Able to manage Windows Server 2012, 2012 R2 and 2016 from a single console
Hypervisor power management improvements Updated hypervisor power management model to support new modes of power management.
