Shared-nothing live migration

Ethernet

Benefits • Live migrate multiple virtual machines simultaneously with no limits (except bandwidth) in and out of a cluster

• Live migrate virtual machine storage from one subsystem to another without downtime

• Live migrate a virtual machine from one host to another with only an Ethernet connection

• Migrate a virtual machine to a host in another location and network address range—with no change to its IP address

Hyper-V Replica

Benefits • Ships as a component of Windows Server 2012 with no additional installation required

• Host-based replication operates at the virtual machine level and is application agnostic

• Storage agnostic—works with any combination of SAN, DirectAccess server, or Server Message Block 3.0 (SMB 3.0)

• Works with both clustered and non-clustered environments

Site A – Primary location Site B – Remote location

Disaster recovery scenarios: • Planned, unplanned, and

test failover

• Preconfiguration for IP settings for primary/remote location

• Virtualization of storage with Storage Pools and Storage Spaces

• Storage resilience and availability with commodity hardware

• Resiliency and data redundancy through n-way mirroring (clustered or unclustered) or parity mode (unclustered)

• Utilization optimized through thin and trim provisioning and enclosure awareness

• Integration with other Windows Server 2012 capabilities

• Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) and Serial AT Attachment (SATA) interconnects
