Networking Improvements
• In-box Hyper-V Network Virtualization (HNV) gateway
• Now part of the Hyper-V extensible switch
• Two new Windows PowerShell cmdlets (TestVMNetworkAdapter and Select-NetVirtualizationNextHop) that
enables diagnostics of HNV policy and the Customer Address
space.
• Dynamic IP Address
– Allows you to run DHCP, DNS, and Active Directory in your
VM networks.
• New monitoring and diagnostic capabilities
• Broadcast / Multicast support
• NVGRE (Network Virtualization using Generic Routing
Encapsulation) for traffic between separate networks
23
Final Thoughts
• Free Hyper-V Server
– Create VHDX and share
– Replicate to other Hyper-V Servers
• Storage Spaces
– Requires JBOD / SAS disks
– SSD greatly enhances performance
– LSI controllers w/ JBOD array work great (DataON)
• Networking
– If you can afford 10 GbE do it
– RDMA w/ 10 GbE is crazy fast
