Dynamic, High Performance Storage • Live Storage Migration • New VHDX Format • Up to 64 TB per disk • Auto-Alignment with SAN storage • Major performance improvements • Native 4K Disk Support • Online Meta Operations • Live virtual disk merge • Live new parent • Improved rebuild • Virtual FibreChannel • Virtual FC HBA presented in VM • Offloaded Data Transfer (ODX) • Automatic Trim/Unmap • Allows storage subsystem to automatically reclaim/reuse storage deleted from a VM • Only Hyper-V provides this • Support for VMs on Continuously Available File Servers via SMB 3.0 • SMB Multi-Channel, SMB Scale Out • SMB Transparent Failover, Encryption
Networking Improvements • In-box Hyper-V Network Virtualization (HNV) gateway • Now part of the Hyper-V extensible switch • Two new Windows PowerShell cmdlets (Test-VMNetworkAdapter and Select-NetVirtualizationNextHop) that enables diagnostics of HNV policy and the Customer Address space. • Dynamic IP Address • Allows you to run DHCP, DNS, and Active Directory in your VM networks. • New monitoring and diagnostic capabilities • Broadcast / Multicast support • NVGRE (Network Virtualization using Generic Routing Encapsulation) for traffic between separate networks
Final Thoughts • Free Hyper-V Server • Create VHDX and share • Replicate to other Hyper-V Servers • Storage Spaces • Requires JBOD / SAS disks • SSD greatly enhances performance • LSI controllers w/ JBOD array work great (DataON) • Networking • If you can afford 10 GbE do it • RDMA w/ 10 GbE is crazy fast
