6. Private Cloud differs from a fully virtualized datacenter • Virtualization = Private Cloud

8. Server Consolidation+ Cloud Foundation • Challenges: • Underutilized hardware • Excessive power consumption • Expensive space across datacenter and branch offices “We expect to consolidate an additional 75 servers using Hyper-V, which will lead to a cost savings of more than $325,000 annually. By the time we hit our fifth virtual machine, we’ve usually paid for the host. Long term, we will be able to reduce our total data center holdings by 75 percent—from nearly 400 servers to fewer than 100 servers.” Robert McShinsky Senior Systems Administrator, Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center Server Utilization

10. Dynamic Memoryto increase user productivity and lower the cost per desktop / server Dynamic Memory in Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 enables better consolidation ratios with predictable performance Deep Dive: http://www.msteched.com/2010/NorthAmerica/VIR304

11. Hot Add/Remove Storage • Overview • Add and remove VHD and pass-through disks to a running VM without requiring a reboot. • Hot-add/remove disk applies to VHDs and pass-through disks attached to the virtual SCSI controller • Benefits • Enables storage growth in VMs without downtime • Enables additional datacenter backup scenarios • Enables new SQL/Exchange scenarios

12. Overview of Hyper-V Manager Inside Hyper-V Networking Hyper-V Disks Hot Add Storage Dynamic Memory

13. Clustering & Storage • Windows Server 2008 R2 Failover Clustering • NEW Cluster Shared Volume (CSV) • Implemented as a mini-filter • Required for Live Migration • CSV provides a single consistent file name space; All Windows Server 2008 R2 servers see the same storage • Easy setup; Uses NTFS • No reformatting SANs • Create one big data store • Less drive letters needed • Existing tools just work • Improves Hyper-V Live Migration times • Simplifies SAN/VM management • Improved Fault Tolerance Concurrent access to a single file system Single LUN for all hosts and performance enhancement for storage switchover SAN Single Volume VHD VHD VHD

14. Cluster Shared Volumes • All servers “see” the same storage

15. Live Migration in Hyper-V R2 (in the box functionality) • Create VM on target server • Copy memory pages from the source to the target via Ethernet • Final state transfer • Pause virtual machine • Move storage connectivity from source host to target host via Ethernet • Run new VM on target; Delete VM on source Host 1 Host 2 Green = Storage Blue = Networking Shared Storage

16. Storage Quick Migration • 4gb Data Transfer - with only about 60 seconds of downtime • Create Disk VSS Snapshot • Create Child VHD Disk and set as active {original disk is read-only} • Copy Read-only Parent disk (ie. 4gb VHD) {still running on Host 1} • Final state transfer • Pause virtual machine {Guest running on Host 1 is now down} • Transfer Memory • Transfer Differencing Disk (CHILD DISK {changes since snapshot}) • Merge Changes • Run new VM on target; • Delete VM on source Local Storage Host 2 Host 1 Local Storage Blue = Networking Green = Migration Network
