Hyper-V: Over 1 Millions IOPs from a Single VM

Industry Leading IO

Performance

• VM storage performance on par

with native

• Performance scales linearly with

increase in virtual processors

• Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V

can virtualize over 99% of the

world’s SQL Server.

on Azure storage

Connects On-Premises Servers to

Azure Storage in Minutes with No

Application Modification

Benefits

• Consolidates primary, archive, backup, DR thru seamless integration with Azure

• Cloud snapshots = revolutionary speed, simplicity and reliability for backup and recovery

• Reduces enterprise storage TCO by 60–80%

• Storage de-duplicated, compressed and encrypted before writing to Azure Storage.

When to choose Windows Azure Backup

Suitable for any workload.

Already using System Center Data

Protection Manager?

Windows Azure Backup integrates easily.

Small business or branch office?

Windows Azure Backup integrates with the

in-box Windows Server backup tool.
