Scale Up Workloads
Mission Critical Workloads
Scale
Scale-up or Scale-out to suite your needs
High Availability
Easy, Pervasive, Included
Performance must increase with cores
Maximize your investment
Virtualize workloads considered “non-
virtualizable”Virtualize 100% of your applications

High Availability
Your input on High AvailabilityVMs Need Access to Fibre Channel
SANsWe have apps and data there…
Legacy Apps that don’t support
ClusteringLet’s improve availability of those
apps too
Ease integration with SAN
replication/snapshotting
Make it all work.
Live Migration and Distance Replication
Disaster recovery & planned maint.
Complete Redundancy In the Box
Disaster Recovery• Hyper-V Replica for Asynchronous Replication• CSV 2.0 Integration with Storage Arrays for Synchronous
Replication
Application/Service Failover
• Non-Cluster Aware Apps: Hyper-V App Monitoring• VM Guest Cluster: iSCSI, Fiber Channel• VM Guest Teaming of SR-IOV NICs
I/O Redundancy• Network Load Balancing & Failover via Windows NIC Teaming• Storage Multi-Path IO (MPIO)• Multi-Channel SMB
Physical Node Redundancy
• Live Migration for Planned Downtime• Failover Cluster for Unplanned Downtime
Hardware Fault • Windows Hardware Error Architecture (WHEA)/RAS
