WHAT DOES FREE HYPER-V OFFER OUT OF THE BOX?
Out of box Experience enhancements

HYPER-V CLUSTER SETUP
1. Configure and provision shared storage
2. Install the Failover Clustering feature on each Hyper-V host
3. Install the MPIO feature on each Hyper-V host
4. Configure an external virtual network switch on each Hyper-V host
5. Validate the configuration of Hyper-V hosts
6. Create a new cluster

STORAGE COMPONENT
Zero hardware footprinto
Dramatically reduced CapEx and OpEx o
Complete fault tolerance with just 2 serverso
No specialized staff required for managemento
Can run on Free & Core Windows Server editions
![Page 9: BUILDING A HIGHLY AVAILABLE HYPER-V CLUSTER USING FREE MICROSOFT HYPER-V SERVER Max Kolomyeytsev StarWind Virtual SAN Product Manager Alex Karavanov 5nine](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649ead5503460f94bb4e41/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
WHY HYPER-CONVERGED
• Native Windows application
• High performance for Microsoft Hyper-V due to reducing I/O
path: reads and writes go locally and server side running RAM
and flash cache dramatically increases the performance
![Page 10: BUILDING A HIGHLY AVAILABLE HYPER-V CLUSTER USING FREE MICROSOFT HYPER-V SERVER Max Kolomyeytsev StarWind Virtual SAN Product Manager Alex Karavanov 5nine](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649ead5503460f94bb4e41/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
VM WORKLOAD IN MIND
• VM-Centric Storage (LSFS)
a combination of RAM and Flash as multi-layered cache is used to eliminate
random IO on magnetic disks. Multiple small random writes are coalesced into big
sequential I/O writes. This allows to achieve up to 90% raw sequential write
performance of the underlying storage.• Deduplication
VM and flash-friendly space reduction technologies such as in-line
deduplication, increasing usable capacity of all-flash configurations and
prolonging flash life-cycle
![Page 11: BUILDING A HIGHLY AVAILABLE HYPER-V CLUSTER USING FREE MICROSOFT HYPER-V SERVER Max Kolomyeytsev StarWind Virtual SAN Product Manager Alex Karavanov 5nine](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649ead5503460f94bb4e41/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
OF COURSE THE MUST HAVE FEATURES
• Snapshots and Automated Storage Tiering
implementing inter-node tiering technology to offload “cold” data from fast primary all-
flash storage to slower high capacity secondary storage tier
• Asynchronous replication
Mission-critical business data is replicated to a disaster recovery site. Replication is
implemented to be asynchronous, background, deduplication, and compression-aware as
well as snapshot-based to reduce load on slow WAN connections

MANAGEMENT COMPONENT
Turn PowerShell into GUI
Dramatically simplify and save money on Hyper-V management
Manage your Hyper-V clusters
Get a user-friendly management GUI for Windows Server Core and Microsoft Hyper-V Server
Manage different Hyper-V versions (2012 R2/ 2012/ 2008 R2 SP1) from a single console
Use any client 64-bit system starting from Windows 7, to access and manage your Hyper-V
hosts remotely

MANAGE HIGH AVAILABLE HYPER-V CLUSTER
Add cluster into 5nine Manager console
Check cluster available storage
Add or remove VM to/from cluster
Enjoy live migration
Pause cluster nodes with or without draining roles, when needed
Resume cluster nodes with or without draining roles, when needed
Check all VMs statuses in a split of a second, right in the tree view

EASILY CREATE VMS OUT OF TEMPLATES
Clone your “golden image” (Template VM) as many times as you need.
To create a “golden image” (Template VM)• Create a VM with needed parameters• Install and configure OS• Install and configure required software • Run sysprep• Keep this VM in off state, to use it as a
template

TASKS ARE PERFORMED IN THE BACKGROUND
Keep working on your management operations, while tasks are being performed in the background
Make your waiting time – a productive time!
