Highly Available VMM ServerAddresses key customer ask VMM server is now cluster aware so there’s no single point of failure

UpgradeFrom VMM 2008 R2 SP1 to VMM 2012 RCFrom VMM 2012 RC to VMM 2012 RTM

Custom PropertiesName/Value pairsNo need to use Custom1..Custom10

PowershellFully powershell scriptablePowershell 2.0 – standard verbs, noun naming conventionBackward compatible with VMM 2008 R2 scripting interface

Fabric ManagementPhysical Servers

Manage multiple hypervisors – Hyper-V, VMware, XenServer hardware management – IPMI, DCMI, SMASH, Custom via ProviderHost provisioning – from bare metal to Hyper-V to Cluster provisioning

NetworkingDefine Logical Networks using VLANs and Subnets per datacenter locationAddress management for Static IPs, Load Balancer VIPs and MAC addressesAutomated provisioning of Load Balancers via Provider

StorageStorage Management using SMI-SDiscover storage arrays and poolsClassify storage based on throughput and capabilitiesDiscover or configure LUNs and assign to hosts and clustersRapid provisioning of VMs using snapshot cloning of LUNs

Fabric ManagementUpdate Management of Fabric Servers

Update operation control (on-demand scan and on-demand remediation)Updating a Hyper-V cluster is fully automated/orchestratedIntegrated with Windows Server Update Server

Dynamic Optimization (DO)Cluster level workload balancing scheme to optimize VM performanceLeverages live migration to move workloads

Power Optimization (PO)Powers down servers to optimize power utilizationLeverages live migration to pack more VMs per host

Enhanced PlacementOver 100 placement checks/validationSupport for custom placement rulesMulti-VM deployment for Services

Private Cloud Management

Private CloudAbstraction that enables opaque usage model for service and VM management

FabricCompute: Logical grouping of hosts or host clusters in host groupsStorage: Storage Classifications, Pools, Providers and ArraysNetwork: Logical Networks, IP/MAC Address Pools, Load Balancers, VIP Templates

Delegation - User RoleQuota: Defines per-user limits on compute, memory, storage, number of VMs

Cloud Capacity

Cloud can exposeAggregate capacity of underlying resources (vCPU, Memory, Storage)Oversubscription is allowed

Dimensions of CapacityvCPUsMemoryStorageNumber of deployed VMs (VMs in Library are not counted)Custom Quota (to support quota points from VMM 2008 R2)

Cloud Capabilities

Cloud canHost highly available VMsAllow VMs to use dynamic disks, differencing disks or fixed disksEnable network optimizations

VM “shape” limitsProcessor Range (i.e. 1 - 4)Memory Range (i.e. 16MB – 32 GB)Number of disks (0 – 7)Number of NICs (0 – 7)…

Built-in set representing underlying limits for Hyper-V, Xen, VMware
