Defining the Case for Hyper-V
IT organizations must justify adoption of Microsoft Virtualisation technology
– Must have positive cost impact– Increase in capacity, security, reliability, and availability of resources– Flexibility to rapidly adapt to changes in the business
A well-designed server Virtualisation infrastructure built on Microsoft technology can enable an enterprise to accelerate achievement of the following goals:
– Reduction in IT capital and operational costs– Implementation of a flexible and dynamic enterprise infrastructure– Increase in workload availability– Reduction in the time to provision, distribute, or remove services– Reduction in management complexity
Microsoft Virtualisation Technologies
Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V is installed as a role– Supported in a full installation or a Server Core installation of 64-bit
Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard, Enterprise, and Datacenter editions
– Supports local graphical management in full installation mode
Hyper-V Server 2008 R2 is built on Windows technologies– Comes only as a single, free edition– Designed solely as a Virtualisation platform– Provides local command-line and a text-based configuration utility to
perform initial configuration tasks– Designed to be remotely managed– Leverages the Windows driver and management models / APIs
Management– Both support full graphical management using standard Hyper-V
administration tools from remote workstation or server– Both support full graphical management through System Center VMM

Feature Comparison
Understanding Licensing Options
Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V– Standard Edition 1 VM per license– Enterprise Edition 4 VM’s per license– Datacentre Edition Unlimited VM’s per processor licensing
Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008 R2– Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008 R2 is not a Windows Server
edition– No Windows licenses are provided with it– Must purchase a valid Windows license for each Windows-based
VM that you intend to run on it
Understanding Licensing Options
• By assigning a copy of WS 2008 R2 Enterprise:– 4 free running Instances– Cumulative...
• The same process with WS 2008 R2 Datacentre:– Unlimited running instances
• Virtualisation Agnostic

Defining Hyper-V Base Architectures
Small to Medium DeploymentsSingle Server
– Server consolidation platform for small test lab, software development, branch office, and other design scenarios that can tolerate outages
– Direct-attached storage (DAS), or shared storage (NAS or iSCSI SAN)– Lacks high-availability to prevent service interruption during planned or
unplanned maintenance events– Management with out-of-the-box tools (Hyper-V Manager, Windows
Server Backup, and so on)
Two-Node Failover Cluster– Server consolidation platform for software development, branch office,
and other design scenarios that require high-availability services – Shared storage (iSCSI or Fibre Channel SAN)– Failover clustering supports single Live Migration event (serial
migration)– Management with out-of-the-box tools (Hyper-V Manager, Windows
Server Backup, Failover Cluster Manager, and so on)
Defining Hyper-V Base Architectures
Datacenter and Enterprise DeploymentsServer Farm (Multi-Node Failover Cluster)
– Server consolidation platform for datacenter and other design scenarios that require large VM consolidation, high-performance, and high-availability services
– Shared storage (Fibre-Channel SAN)– Up to 16 node failover cluster to support multiple, concurrent Live
Migration events– Maximum of 8 simultaneous live migrations in a 16 node cluster– Dedicated failover nodes or load-balancing cluster designs– Management with System Center suite
System Centre Hyper-V Management tools

System Centre Configuration Manager for asset management, deploying operating systems, applications and updates.
System Centre Data Protection Manager for protecting servers, desktops, applications and data.
Managing a Virtual InfrastructureSystem Centre Operations Manager for monitoring Hyper-V hosts, virtual machines and applications, performance optimisation and centralised reporting.
System Centre Configuration Manager for asset management, deploying operating systems, applications and updates.
System Centre Data Protection Manager for protecting Hyper-V hosts, VM’s, applications and data.
System Centre Virtual Machine Manager for intelligent placement and management of Hyper-V hosts, VM’s, templates and libraries.

High-Availability Considerations
Hyper-V host cluster implemented to minimize or eliminate service interruptions due to planned or unplanned events
– Host hardware component failure– Complete loss of one or more physical servers– Host operating system maintenance
Hyper-V host clusters – Up to 16 Hyper-V hosts configured as nodes of a failover cluster– Hyper-V hosts must be connected to shared storage– If Hyper-V host node fails, all VMs hosted on that node are migrated to
another Hyper-V host in the cluster
Hyper-V host cluster required for Live Migration
Cluster Shared Volumes (CSV)– New Windows Server 2008 R2 feature– Supported by Hyper-V– Enables all nodes in a Hyper-V host cluster to access the same shared
storage volumes simultaneously
