Hyper-V 2.0
Building on the rock-solid architecture of Windows Server 2008 Hyper-VIntegration with new technologies and productsEnabling new dynamic scenarios:
Increased Server ConsolidationDynamic Data CenterVirtualized Centralized Desktop
Hyper-V 2.0 FeaturesLogical Processor Support
Support for 64 logical processors on host computerHot Add/Remove Storage
Add and remove VHD disks to a running VM without requiring a rebootSecond Level Translation (SLAT)
Leverage new processor features to improve performance and reduce load on Windows Hypervisor
VM Chimney (TCP Offload Support)TCP/IP Traffic in a VM can be offloaded to a physical NIC on the host computer (disabled by default)
Processor Compatibility ModeAllows live migration across different CPU versions within the same processor family (i.e. Intel-to-Intel and AMD-to-AMD).
Does NOT enable cross platform from Intel to AMD or vice versa.Configure compatibility on a per-VM basis.Abstracts the VM down to the lowest common denominator in terms of instruction sets available to the VM.
Quick Migration vs. Live Migration
Host 1 Host 2 Host 1 Host 2
Quick Migration(Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V)Save state
Create VM on the targetWrite VM memory to shared storage
Move virtual machineMove storage connectivity from source host to target host via Ethernet
Restore state & RunTake VM memory from shared storage and restore on TargetRun
Live Migration(WS08R2 Hyper-V)
VM State/Memory TransferCreate VM on the targetMove memory pages from the source to the target via Ethernet
Final state transfer and virtual machine restore
Pause virtual machineMove storage connectivity from source host to target host via Ethernet

Management
Today's IT Challenges
Increasing demands from the businessReliance on technology for business-critical operationsAlways-available, anywhere
Increasing complexityAdding capabilities adds management burden80% of IT cost is managing existing systems
Trends of the future magnify challengesMove to Datacenters – large scale, virtualization remote managementOutsourcing – lower skilled, high turnover users
Streamlined ManagementWindows Server 2008 R2 as the foundation for data center automation
Expand surface are of Windows Server that can be driven via scriptingTop server roles/tasks can be managed using remote & local PowerShell scriptsIn-box cmdlets for server roles, and for power, blade and chassis managementWork with OEMs and IHVs to deliver WS-Management compatible hardware

BranchCache™
Authenticates current state of data and access rights of the user against the serverSupports commonly used protocols: HTTP(S), SMBSupport network security protocols (SSL, IPsec)Requires Windows Server 2008 R2 in the data center and hosted cache
Caches content downloaded from file and Web serversUsers in the branch can quickly open files stored in the cacheFrees up network bandwidth for other uses
