64 Logical Processor Support
OverviewProvides Hyper-V the ability to utilizes up to 64 of the logical processor pool presented to Windows Server 2008 R2
BenefitsSignificantly increases host server densityEasily provide multiple processers per virtual machine
VM Chimney (TCP Offload Support)
OverviewTCP/IP traffic in a VM can be offloaded to a physical NIC on the host computer. (disabled by default)
BenefitsReduce CPU burdenNetworking offload to improve performanceLive Migration is fully supported with Full TCP Offload
Cautions: Not all applications benefit from Chimney
Works best for long-lived connections with large data transfers Applications with pre-posted buffers
Chimney capable hardware supports a fixed number of offloaded connections – shared between all VMs
Processor Compatibility Mode
OverviewAllows Live Migration across different CPU versions within the same processor family (i.e. Intel-to-Intel and AMD-to-AMD).
Does NOT enable cross platform from Intel to AMD or vice versa.
Configure compatibility on a per-VM basis.Abstracts the VM down to the lowest common denominator in terms of instruction sets available to the VM.
BenefitsProvides a great deal of migration flexibility within clusters.Enables migration across a broader range of Hyper-V host hardware.No specific hardware requirements needed.

New & Improved Consoles
Management console Improvements
Server Manager • Provides support for remote management of computers
Active Directory Administrative Center
• Leverages capabilities provided by PowerShell
• Task driven user interface
IIS Manager • Leverages capabilities provided by PowerShell
• Task driven user interface
Hyper-V™ • New VM management consoles
• Updated SCVMM support
Remote PowerShell Scenarios Fan-Out (1 to Many)
Send the scriptSelect properties – Allows you to specify which properties to bring backThrottling – limits number of concurrent operationsAsync support – Runs the command in background on client
Fan-In (Many to 1)Hosting modelShare static data between sessions (eg: cmdlet metadata from snap-in) Send progress information to client (eg: Connecting, Connected)
