Mix and Match Hardware
You can use any hardware configuration ifEach component has a Windows Server 2008 / R2 logo
Servers, Storage, HBAs, MPIO, etc…It passes Validate
It’s that simple!Connect your Windows Server 2008 / R2 logo’d hardwarePass every test in Validate
It is now supported!If you make a change, just run Validate again

FCCP Failover Cluster Configuration ProgramWindows Server 2008 / R2Buy validated solutions
“Validated by Microsoft Failover Cluster Configuration Program” Not required for Microsoft support, must be logo’dMore information: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2008/en/us/clustering-program.aspx
Enhanced Validation
Run before, during or after cluster deploymentIncludes additional “best practices” tests
Quorum configurationStatus of cluster resourcesNetwork Name settings in a multi-site clusterOffers prescriptive guidance to achieve higher availability
Collects information about the configuration for supportability and documentation

Migration – Our Upgrade PathBuilt-in Migration WizardSupports most networking configurations
IPv4, IPv6, IPv6 tunnel, DHCP IPs, Static IPs, different subnetsReuse storage or copy data and use new storageMigrate resource groups between clustersEnhanced Pre- and Post- migration reportsGuide: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=142796

Hyper-V Live Migration
Move a running VM from one host to another host with no downtimeClient is not aware of the migrationMaintain open TCP connections of the guest OSClients stay connectedPlanned failover
Failover Clustering still recovers VM from a disk in an unplanned failover
Live Migration
Entire VM memory copied
Memory content is copied to new server
Live Migrate
May be additional incremental data copies until data on both nodes is essentially identical
VHD
SAN
Live Migration
Session state is maintainedNo reconnections necessaryClients stay connected to “live” VM
VHD
Client directed to new host
SANARP issued to point routing devices to new nodeOld VM deleted after success
Cluster Shared Volumes
Distributed file access solution for Hyper-VConcurrent access to disk from any nodeVMs do not know their hostVMs no longer bound to storageVMs can share a CSV disk to reduce LUNsVMs remain online during live migration
Zero downtime!

CSV Compatibility
No special hardware requirementsSame requirements as standard cluster disk

It Just Works!
CSV BenefitsSimplify Storage Management
