Cloud Abstraction

Delegated Capacity

Standardized Services

Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V,VMware, Citrix XenServer

Intel, AMD, OEM hardware

Fibre Channel, iSCSI

Assign dedicated and shared resources

VMM Private Cloud

Provisioning Your Private CloudPROVISION AND MANAGE

STANDARDIZED APPLICATION SERVICES

• Provision standardized applications

• Simplify application management

• Cloud enable existing apps

DELIVER FLEXIBLE AND COST-EFFECTIVE INFRASTRUCTURE

• Pool and allocate data center resources

• Multi-hypervisor management

• Flexible delegation with control

• Self-service infrastructure

OPTIMIZE VIRTUALIZATION MANAGEMENT

• Optimize infrastructure based on application needs

• Highly available private cloud infrastructure

• Industry standards support

Enabling Hyper-V by VMMWill be automatically enabled when adding hosts

V2V and P2VP2V: Physical computers to VMsScriptablePowerShell for scripts

V2V: VMs to VMsCreate Hyper-V VMs from VMware VMs Create Hyper-V VMs from Virtual Machine VMs

Bare Metal DeploymentConvert new server to Hyper-V clusters

Deep discovery when running WinPE

PXE boot or use VHDs from library

Configure logical switch

Host vNIC Configuration

Customizable scripts

Customize DeploymentPrepares the template for deploymentRun scripts before or after deployment

Specify OS settings Computer name, admin password, etc.

Specify application settings SQL connection string, registry keys, etc.

Reuse same template in different environments Development, staging, production etc.

Clustering

Managing ClustersScale management for hosts and VMsHyper-V on Windows Server 2008 & 2008 R2 ClustersAutomatic detection of cluster configuration changesVMM server high availabilityVMM Server: Run in a clustered virtual machineLibrary Server: Clustered file serverDatabase: SQL HASystem Center Operations Manager Management Pack for VMM

Intelligent PlacementAutomates placement logic on hostsCapacity planning improves resource utilizationSpreads VMs across nodes‘Star-Rated’ results for easy decision makingCustomizable algorithm

Dynamic OptimizationRebalances VMs across hostsLive migrationKeeps cluster balancedAvoids VM downtimeSupports heterogeneous clusters

Managed resourcesConsiders CPU, memory, disk IO, network IOOptimize when above resource thresholdConsiders entire cluster

OptionsManual or automaticUser controlled frequencyConfigurable aggressiveness

Power OptimizationRebalance the workload and turn off machines when using Dynamic OptimizationConserve energy in the data centerKeeps the cluster balanced, and avoids VM downtime or latency through lack of resources Uses out-of-band power managementUser defined schedule

VMM High AvailabilityHighly available VMM serverCluster-aware VMM serverProtects against OS and VMM failuresAdmin console with reconnection logic

Service Templates

Service TemplateManage multi-tier apps as a single unitCollection of templates & settingsAuthor the template in the new Service Designer

Defines machines and their connectivityTiers, hardware, logical networks, OS, apps, load balancer templates etc.

Deployed services are always linked to their templatesTypically information like hosts or load balancers is not available while creating a template

VMM CheckpointsIn Hyper-V, checkpoints are called snapshotsA point-in-time copy of a virtual machineDo not affect the running state of a virtual machineSnapshot any guest OSVM can be running, off, stopped or saved, but not paused

• Manage from the bare metal to a fully-provisioned cluster

• The underlying network & storage fabric is managed, allowing abstraction when deploying new services

• Multiple Hyper-V, VMware and Xen server environments, and connected resources

• Use Dynamic Optimization and Power Optimization to balance capacity and turn off unused resources
