Pulling ahead in virtualizationYou told us you need…
We responded with…
Integrated high-performance virtualization platform
High-performance live migration
Accelerate live migration performance with compression or RDMA-capable network adapters
For <10GBit network connectivity, live migration compression delivers superior performance – 2x acceleration for most workloads
For >10GBit networks, Remote direct memory access (RDMA) offload delivers the highest performance with low CPU utilization and transfer speeds of up to 56Gb/s
Windows Server 2012 R2 supports RoCE, iWARP and Infiniband RDMA solutions

Online VHDX Resize
Expand Virtual SCSI Disks
1. Grow VHD & VHDX files whilst attachedto a running virtual machine
2. Then expand volume within the guest
Shrink Virtual SCSI Disks
3. Reduce volume size inside the guest
4. Shrink the size of the VHDor VHDX file whilst the VM is running
Online VHDX Resize provides VM storage flexibility

Challenges of Guest Clustering• Infrastructure Administrators
• VMs and Services are provisioned, but physical resources are opaque to users
• Enabling Guest Clustering requires a hole to physical infrastructure
