43. Windows Server 2008 R2 - Hyper-V Delivers high levels of availability for production workloads via flexible and dynamic management while reducing overall costs through efficient server consolidation via: Better flexibility Live Migration Cluster Shared Volumes Hot Add/remove of Storage Processor compatibility mode for live migration Improved performance Improved memory management TCP Offload support Virtual Machine Queue (VMQ) Support Improved Networking Greater Scalability At 64 logical processor support Enhance Green IT with Core Parking

44. Hyper-V Live Migration Technology in Windows Server 2008 R2 that allows you to move running VMs from one physical server to another physical server without disruption of service or perceived downtime Live Migration Process Initiated via in-box cluster UI, SCVMM, PowerShell VM State/Memory Transfer Create VM on the target Move memory pages from the source to the target via Ethernet Final state transfer and virtual machine restore Pause virtual machine Move storage connectivity from source host to target host via Ethernet Un-pause & Run Host 2 Host 1 Blue = Shared Storage (FC, iSCSI) Yellow = Networking Green = Live migration networking (1Gb or better)
