  1. WINDOWS SERVER 2012 PREVIEW Scott StumpfChief Technology OfficerSoftware Logic, Inc.scott.stumpf@softwarelogic.com

  2. Session Objectives and Takeaways • A quick intro to wet your appetite for Windows Server 2012 • Help you get started with your evaluation • Demo of the new Server Manager interface, Powershell 3.0, Hyper-V • Introduce Storage, Networking, Virtualization enhancements • Slide Deck is available on http://systemcenterusergroup.net

  3. Windows Server 2012 Philosophy • Integral part of Microsoft’s cloud strategy • Features that allow massive scalability but also leverage commodity hardware • Tight alignment with System Center 2012 • Customer scenario-driven features

  4. Windows Server 2012 Release Candidate • Available now on MSDN and TechNet Evaluation Center • System Center 2012 Service Pack 1 CTP2 is also available on the Microsoft Download Center • Free ebook: Introducing Windows Server 2012

  5. Windows Server 2012 Demo

  6. STORAGE

  7. DYNAMIC, HIGH PERFORMANCE STORAGE • Virtual Fiber Channel • Support for File Based Storage on SMB 2.2 • Native 4K Disk Support • Offloaded Data Transfer (ODX) • Native File-based de-duplication

  8. GUEST FIBER CHANNEL ARCHITECTURE • Up to four virtual HBAs assigned to each VM • WWNs assigned to each VM • Doesn’t require re-zoning • NPIV utilized to surface VM portson the host • Works with Live Migration NPIV port(s)

  9. OFFLOADED DATA TRANSFER (ODX) Token Offload Write Offload Read Token Token Virtual Disk Virtual Disk Actual Data Transfer Intelligent Storage Array

  10. HYPER-V ODX SUPPORT • Secure Offload data transfer • Fixed VHD/VHDX Creation • Dynamic VHD/VHDX Expansion • VHD/VHDX Merge • Live Storage Migration • Just one example… ~3 Minutes <1 Second! If you own a SAN, Windows Server 2012 is a “no brainer.”

  11. CRITICAL SAFEGUARD FOR THE CLOUDEncrypted cluster volumes • BitLocker encrypted cluster disks • Support for traditional failover disks • Support for Cluster Shared Volumes • Cluster Name Object (CNO) identity used to lock and unlock Clustered volumes • Enables physical security for deployments outside of secure datacenters • Branch office deployments • Volume level encryption for compliance requirements • Negligible (<1%) performance impact

  12. WINDOWS SERVER 2012 NETWORKING

  13. Windows Server 2012 is optimized for Hybrid Clouds to host multi-tenant workloads HYBRID CLOUDS Tenant 1: Multiple VM Workloads Tenant 2: Multiple VM Workloads Data Center

  14. In a multi-tenant environment … … customers want security and isolation SECURITY Tenant 1: Multiple VM Workloads Tenant 2: Multiple VM Workloads Data Center

  15. MULTI-TENANT NETWORK REQUIREMENTS • Tenant wants to easily move VMs to/from the cloud • Hoster wants to place VMs anywhere in the data center • Both want: Easy Onboarding, Flexibility & Isolation Cloud Data Center Woodgrove Bank Blue 10.1.0.0/16 Contoso Bank Red 10.1.0.0/16

  16. NETWORK VIRTUALIZATION Woodgrove network Contoso network Woodgrove VM Contoso VM Physical server Physical network • Hyper-V Network Virtualization • Run multiple virtual networks on a physical network • Each virtual network has illusion it is running as a physical fabric • Hyper-V Machine Virtualization • Run multiple virtual servers on a physical server • Each VM has illusion it is running as a physical server

  17. NETWORK VIRTUALIZATION • Key Points • Multiple organizations can have their own isolated networks running atop the same physical fabric • The VM is totally unaware that its IP address is being virtualized • VMs can now run and live migrate anywhere in the datacenter, even across subnets… • Administrators don’t need to worry about VMs being “trapped” in one part of a datacenter because it’s tied to a physical address • No other virtualization platform includes this capability. Even those at 10x the cost…

  18. Your feedback… “Windows Server 2012 Network Virtualization looks awesome! Where can I learn more?” Bing Search for: Introducing Windows Server “8” Hyper-V Network Virtualization: Enabling Rapid Migration and Workload Isolation in the Cloud

  19. FEATURE RICH NETWORKING IN THE BOX • Open, Extensible Virtual Switch • Nexus 1000 Support • Openflow Support • Network Introspection • Much more… • Advanced Networking • ACLs • PVLAN • …much more… • Windows NIC Teaming • SR-IOV Network Support • Reduce Latency & CPU Utilization • Supports Live Migration • Network QoS • Per VNIC bandwidth reservation & limits • Network Metering

  20. Even when hardware fails … … customers want continuous availability RELIABILITY Tenant 1: Multiple VM Workloads TEAMING Tenant 2: Multiple VM Workloads Data Center

  21. SINGLE-ROOT I/O VIRTUALIZATION (SR-IOV) • Reduces latency of network path • Reduces CPU utilization for processing network traffic • Increases throughput • Direct device assignment to virtual machines without compromising flexibility • Supports Live Migration Root Partition Virtual Machine Hyper-V Switch Routing VLAN Filtering Data Copy VMBUS Virtual Function Physical NIC Virtual NIC SR-IOV Physical NIC Network I/O path without SR-IOV Network I/O path with SR-IOV

  22. Hyper-V Enhancements

  23. HYPER-V SCALE COMPARISONMassive Scale in the Box

  24. HYPER-V STORAGE NO LIMITS & DYNAMIC

  25. Wouldn’t it be great if you could Live Migrate a VM with nothing but an Ethernet cable? We think so too… Introducing: Share Nothing Live Migration

  26. VM MOBILITYComplete mobility. Simply the best. • Live Migration with High Availability • Live Migrate among servers in a failover cluster • SMB Live Migration • Live Migrate VMs among servers with SMB storage • Live Storage Migration • Live Migrate VM storage from one volume to another without downtime • Share Nothing (SNO) Live Migration • Live Migrate VMs among servers with nothing, but an Ethernet connection

  27. HYPER-V REPLICAUnlimited Replication • Disaster Recovery 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 • Automatically handles all VM mobility scenarios (e.g. Live migration) • Supports heterogonous storage between primary and recovery • Integrates with Volume Shadow Services (VSS)

  28. Built for the Future Windows Server 2012 32 virtual processors per VM 1TB virtual machine memory New 64TB VHDX format Native 4k disk support Hyper-V Replica Hyper-V virtual fiber channel Live storage migration Windows NIC teaming Concurrent live migration Support for AES/NI Support for up to 64 nodes per cluster Support for 4000 VMs per cluster Hyper-V support for up to 2 TB of physical memory Hyper-V intelligent second level paging Live VHD merge Cluster shared volumes v2 SMB 2 Support RDMA support in SMB Scale-out file server Multi-channel SMB SRIOV Networking Thousands of PowerShell commands Virtual NIC monitor mode Rest APIs for PowerShell commands 150 Hyper-V PowerShell commands Storage PowerShell Network PowerShell Multi-Tenancy, Port ACLs / Firewall Storage metering Storage Spaces SMI-S support inbox Virtual NUMA support CPU metering Network metering Memory metering RemoteFX 3D graphics remoting Touch remoting USB remoting VDI Guest Application Health Monitoring VM Hardware Error Isolation VM Failover Prioritization Trusted boot support Removable Shell & IE Enables roles in VHDs Offline Multi-machine management protocol Integrated workflows and PowerShell …
