QUESTION: should this highlight reference VMM Server HA, planning, upgrade, etc?
Do we want this structured to mirror our sessions?

4. Cloud Benefits
Reliability and predictability
Applications are highly available, fault tolerant
Remediation from failure is simple (re-start, re-deploy)
Highly automated
Ratio of servers/admins is ~50:1 in enterprises today
Ratio of servers/admins is ~500:1 in “cloud” datacenters
Agility and speed
Applications are deployed, changes are made, remediation is executed in minutes
Deploying applications takes weeks in the enterprise and it needs to be days
Focus is on applications/services
Results are measured relative to service quality
SCVMM 2012 is designed to bring cloud benefits to the enterprise datacenter

5. Deployment and Upgrade
Highly Available VMM Server
Addresses key customer ask
VMM server is now cluster aware so there’s no single point of failure
Upgrade
From VMM 2008 R2 to VMM 2012 RC
From VMM 2012 RC to VMM 2012 RTM
Custom Properties
Name/Value pairs
No need to use Custom1…Custom10
Powershell
Fully powershell scriptable
Powershell 2.0 – standard verbs, noun naming convention
Backward compatible with VMM 2008 R2 scripting interface

6. Fabric Management Physical Server Network Storage
Manage multiple hypervisors – Hyper-V, VMware, Xen
Server hardware management – IPMI, DCMI, SMASH, Custom via Provider
Host provisioning – from baremetal to Hyper-V to Cluster provisioning
Network
Define Logical Networks using VLANs and Subnets per datacenter location
Address management for Static IPs, Load Balancer VIPs and MAC addresses
Automated provisioning of Load Balancers via Provider
Storage
Storage Management using SMI-S
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

7. Fabric Management Update Management of Fabric Servers
Update operation control (On-demand scan and on-demand remediation)
Updating a Hyper-V cluster is fully automated
Integrated with Windows Server Update Server
Dynamic Optimization (DO)
Cluster level workload balancing scheme to optimize for VM performance
Leverages live migration to move workloads
Power Optimization (PO)
Leverages live migration to pack more VMs per host
Powers down servers to optimize for power utilization
Enhanced Placement
Over 100 placement checks/validation
Support for custom placement rules
Multi-VM deployment for Services

8. Private Clouds Private Cloud Fabric Delegation - User Role
Abstraction that enables opaque usage model for service and VM management
Fabric
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
Delegation - User Role
Quota: Defines per-user limits on compute, memory, storage, number of VMs

9. Cloud Capacity Cloud can expose
Aggregate capacity of underlying resources (vCPU, Memory, Storage)
Oversubscription is allowed
Dimensions of Capacity
vCPUs
Memory
Storage
Number of deployed VMs (VMs in Library are not counted)
Custom Quota (to support quota points from VMM 2008 R2)

10. Cloud Capabilities Cloud can VM “shape” limits
Host highly available VMs
Allow VMs to use dynamic disks or differencing disks
Enable network optimizations
VM “shape” limits
Processor Range (i.e )
Memory Range (i.e. 16MB – 32 GB)
Number of disks (0 – 7)
Number of NICs (0 – 7) …
Built-in set representing underlying limits for Hyper-V, Xen, VMware

11. Self-Service Users Revocable actions – fine-grained action control
Author, VM Control, Read-only
Quota – 2 Types of Quota
Shared – total usage of all members of the user role
Per-user – usage of each member of the user role
Dimensions of Quota
vCPUs
Memory
Storage
Number of deployed VMs (VMs in Library are not counted)
Custom Quota (to support quota points from VMM 2008 R2)

12. Service Lifecycle 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
Upgrade domains ensures application availability during servicing

13. Services - Shareable Among Application Owners
An application owner authors the service template and then shares that template with his team to deploy the application
Shareable Objects
Resource group – group of on-disk library objects which user considers interchangeable
Profiles (Hardware, Guest OS, Application, SQL)
Templates (VM, Service)
Virtual machine
Service
