Comparing Virtualization StrategiesVMware Hyper-VEstablished virtualization leader Also a leader in the industryInvesting in management stack through acquisitions, but limited integration

Mature & integrated management stack

Less investment on workloads Best (or only) platform for many workloadsNew to cloud & hybrid cloud Mature cloud platform & integrationUnclear roadmap for storage, networking & ISV partners

Growing ISV partner ecosystem and defined SDN/SDS roadmap

Broadest guest OS “support” Similar OS support and new Linux investmentsCost is higher, usually paying both VMware and Microsoft (for Active Directory)

Offers the free Hyper-V Server 2012 R2 for virtualization hosts (plus free migration tools)

Hyper-V Versions

• Windows Server– Server with a GUI– Server Core Installation– Many roles available including Hyper-V

• Hyper-V Server– Free Standalone Download– Contains hypervisor, driver model &

key virtualization components– Server Core minus other roles– http://aka.ms/HyperVServer

• All versions have identical virtualization capabilities, including scale, features, high-availability and replication

Source: IDC WW Quarterly Server Virtualization Tracker, September 2014. Hyper-V and ESX + vSphere shares based on percent market share among all x86 new hypervisor deployments (nonpaid and paid). x86 hypervisor shipments include those sold on new servers, new nonpaid hypervisor deployments aboard new servers, and new hypervisor sales and nonpaid hypervisor deployments on installed base servers. Share gains for Hyper-V and ESX + vSphere come in part from market share transfers from older products from same vendors.

Microsoft a leader four consecutive years“Leaders in this market have a clear strategy and road map for their offerings, understand virtualization's role in infrastructure and operations transformation, and have a clear vision with respect to private cloud, hybrid cloud, and public cloud computing (in terms of the role of virtualization). Most importantly, they have a strategy to communicate their vision to their market and are executing well from a sales and market share perspective.”

Migration to Hyper-V

Introduction to Hyper-V Managementfor the VMware Admin

5nine V2V Easy Converter

• FREE host to host conversion of VMware VMs to Microsoft Hyper-V VMs

• Runs on all version of Windows Server, including Microsoft Hyper-V Server and Core installations

• Guest OS– Windows Server 2012 R2, 2012, 2008 R2, 2008,

2003 (x86 and x64), Windows 2000 Advanced Server

– Windows 8.1, 8, 7

– Linux Ubuntu, CentOS

• Convert to Generation 1 and Generation 2 VMs

• Modify target guest configuration parameters

• Performs up to 30% faster than other solutions

Migration Steps

1. Select VMware ESXi source server

2. Select VMs

3. Edit VM Configuration

4. Select Hyper-V destination server

5. Verify Hyper-V destination host resources

6. Specify temporary storage path

7. Migrate!

How it Works

• The VM’s configuration settings are remapped– VMware (.vmx) to Hyper-V (.xml)– Copies the name, memory, virtual networks, virtual disks,

etc.

• The VM’s hard disk is copied to a temporary location, then saved– VMware (.vmdk) to Hyper-V (.vhd/x)– OS disk– Data disks

• A new VM is created on Hyper-V by combining the configuration file and disk

• www.5nine.com or Sales@5nine.com

• V2V Easy Converter: http://www.5nine.com/vmware-hyper-v-v2v-conversion.aspx

• Free version suitable for most projects

• Paid version includes APIs, automation & cluster support– Licensed per user

• Unlimited number of VMs

• Sales direct, online, or through resellers & solution integrators

Security for Hyper-V

Introduction to Hyper-V Managementfor the VMware Admin

Automatically & Immediately Protect Everything• It is impossible to guarantee security for VMs with

traditional security (“endpoint protection”)– Requires installation– Slows deployment

• Cloud environments are dynamic– Virtual machines– Virtual disks– Virtual networks– Virtual switches

How 5nine Cloud Security Works

Hyper-V Virtual Machines

Virtual Network Adapters

Virtual Switch

Hyper-V Host

Physical Network Adapter

Host-Based Protection

Abstract & Hide Security from Users

• The “public” or non-technical users are using the provider’s hardware

• Assume the user does not want to worry about security– Manage security for them– Update signatures for them– Ensure they cannot disable security

• Accidently• Purposely• With a bad intention

• Centrally manage securityfor users and tenants

Guarantee Isolation & Resources

• Isolation and privacy is critical in a cloud– An admin cannot access a VMs– A VM cannot affect the host– A VM cannot affect another VM

• Use Quality of Service (QoS) or throttling for memory, CPU, network & storage bandwidth– Avoid Denial of <resource> attacks

Protect All Virtual Networks

• Traditional security protect traffic between hosts– Does not protect traffic between VMs on the same

host

• Virtual Network Types– External– Internal– Private

Traditional Security

Appliance

Use a Single Solution for all VMs• Intercept traffic before it gets to the VM

• Manage traffic at the network protocol level– TCP, UDP, GRE, ICMP, IGMP, etc.

• Hyper-V Guest OS List: aka.ms/HyperVGuestOS

Server• Windows Server 2012 R2• Windows Server 2012• Windows Server 2008 R2• Home Server 2011• Small Business Server 2011• Windows Server 2003

Client• Windows 8.1• Windows 8• Windows 7• Windows Vista• Windows XP

Linux & UNIX• CentOS• Debian• FreeBSD• Oracle Linux• Red Hat RHEL• SUSE• Ubuntu

Active Protection on the Network

• Immediately identify andalert on incoming threats

Fast AV Scanning

• Agent-based scanning can cause “scanning storms”– Decreases VM performance for all users

• 5nine uses its proprietary Change Block Tracking driver– Scan only changed

blocks on disk– Scan up to 70x faster

Automated Task Management

• Enables scalability

• Ensures consistent SLAs

• Eliminates human error

• For tasks with high resourceutilization, stagger the action across the virtualized resources

Internal, Inbound & Outbound Threats

Centrally Manage Security

• Use antivirus / antimalware signatures from industry leaders– Kaspersky Lab & ThreatTrack VIPRE

• Use intrusion detection rules from industry leaders – Cisco Snort

• Use a centralized signature database to simplify updating– No need for users to keep security updated

Provide High-Availability for Security

Security as a Service (SECaaS)

• The Azure public cloud is not available to everyone– Azure Pack allows you to run Azure-like services in your

datacenter

• Differentiate your services by offering improved security

• Provide guided service selection to maximize monetization

• Simply security through templates

Maintain Compliance Requirements

• Virtualization & cloud security is different

• Regulators require it

• Customers expect it

• Hackers know how to exploit it

• A single security breach can ruin your reputation…and business…
