TODAY’S CHALLENGES

EVER HEARD THIS?

I haven’t done anything – no I haven’t installed anything - it just broke…

The Exchange server back up failed.But we didn’t know about it…

I do password resets and add members to distribution lists – I really add value to the business…

I would love to do clustering and DR – but I have been told it is expensive….

It would be great to be able to access our systems from anywhere…

I think I need to increase capacity but I’m out of physical space…

Plus a whole load more…..

VIRTUALISATION BRINGS NEW AGILITY

• Server Virtualisation involves the creation and management of virtual machines (VM)

• A virtual machine is a software implementation of a machine that executes programs like a physical machine

• A VM is effectively, a file, and thus, opens up new opportunities around migrations, upgrades, backups, and DR

HYPER-V

BUSINESS CONTINUITY

1. 2 Hyper-V R2 Nodes in a Failover Cluster. Each Node has 2 VMs running. VMs are stored on the SAN.

2. Node 1 Fails, and also brings down 2 VMs3. Failover Clustering in Hyper-V R2 ensures that VMs restart

on Node 2 of the Hyper-V Cluster

SERVICE CONTINUITY

1. 2 Hyper-V R2 Nodes in a Failover Cluster. Each Node has 2 VMs running. VMs are stored on the SAN.

2. We decide we’d like to Live Migrate a VM from Node 1 to Node 2.

3. Live Migration in Hyper-V R2 ensures that VMs are migrated with no downtime.

DYNAMIC MEMORY

• Automatic, dynamic balancing of memory between running VMs

• Understands the needs of the Guest OS

• Available as part of WS2008 R2 SP1“on the hardware I was testing with, I saw an increase from 64 VMs (Windows 7 on Hyper-V R2) to 133 VMs (Windows 7 on Hyper-V R2 SP1), we also ran performance testing against this so this wasn't a case of "let's see how many VMs we can fire up“Matt Evans, Quest Software

HYPER-V R2 SP1 – KEY CAPABILITIES

• Business Continuity - High Availability & Live Migration

• Scalability - 64 Cores & 1TB RAM & 64 GB RAM & 4vCPUs Per VM

• Density – Dynamic Memory included with SP1

• Power Efficiency - Core Parking & Many Power Improvements in the OS

• Dynamic Storage - Add/Remove disks to running VMs without downtime

• Thin Provisioned VHDs - Use Less Storage

• Networking Improvements - NIC Teaming via NIC Vendor, Jumbo Frames, TCP Offload, VMq, vLANs etc

• Familiarity - Based on Windows, managed through Windows

• Hardware Optimised – Takes advantage of latest hardware innovations

• OS Support - In-lifecycle Windows Server/Clients & Linux (SUSE/RHEL)
