Windows Server 2012

Scalability Mobility Delivery High Availability

Failover Clustering

Unmatched ScaleFailover Clusters support 64 Nodes and 4000 VMs

Flexible VM Guest ClusteringiSCSI, Virtual Fiber Channel & SMB 2.2 clustering support

Failover PrioritizationControl the order in which VMs fail over or start

13

Demo Failover Prioritization

Networking

Network Quality of Services (QOS)Ability to control the throughput of the network and network bandwidth control.

Network availability with Windows NIC Teaming: In-the-box network fault tolerance using at least one network adapter from any vendor

VM & Host Resiliency

Hyper-V ReplicaReplicate VMs from a Primary to a Replica site- In-box business continuity & disaster recovery solution- Built in, secure replication technology- Failover recovery in minutes
