Overview
Provides Hyper-V the ability to utilizes up to 64 of the
logical processor pool presented to Windows Server
2008 R2
Benefits
Significantly increases host server density
Easily provide multiple processers per virtual machine
Overview
TCP/IP traffic in a VM can be offloaded to a physical NIC on the
host computer. (disabled by default)
Benefits
Reduce CPU burden
Networking offload to improve performance
Live 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
Overview
Allows 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.
Benefits
Provides a great deal of migration flexibility within clusters.
Enables migration across a broader range of Hyper-V host
hardware.
No specific hardware requirements
needed.
