1 Host physical memory is capped at 32GB thus maximum VM memory is also restricted to 32GB usage.2 vSphere 5.1 Enterprise Plus is the only vSphere edition that supports 64 vCPUs. Enterprise edition supports 32 vCPU per VM with all other editions supporting 8 vCPUs per VM3 For clustering/high availability, customers must purchase vSphere

SR-IOV with Live Migration Yes No2 No2

Storage Encryption Yes No No1 VMware vSphere and the vSphere Hypervisor support VMq only (NetQueue)2 VMware’s SR-IOV implementation does not support vMotion, HA or Fault Tolerance. DirectPath I/O, whilst not identical to SR-IOV, aims to provide virtual machines with more direct access to hardware devices, with network cards being a good example. Whilst on the surface, this will boost VM networking performance, and reduce the burden on host CPU cycles, in reality, there are a number of caveats in using DirectPath I/O:

• Small Hardware Compatibility List• No Memory Overcommit | No vMotion (unless running certain configurations of Cisco UCS) | No Fault Tolerance• No Network I/O Control | No VM Snapshots (unless running certain configurations of Cisco UCS)• No Suspend/Resume (unless running certain configurations of Cisco UCS) | No VMsafe/Endpoint Security support

SR-IOV also requires the vSphere Distributed Switch, meaning customers have to upgrade to the highest vSphere edition to take advantage of this capability. No such restrictions are imposed when using SR-IOV in Hyper-V, ensuring customers can combine the highest levels of performance with the flexibility they need for an agile infrastructure.vSphere Hypervisor / vSphere 5.x Ent+ Information: http://www.vmware.com/pdf/Perf_Best_Practices_vSphere5.0.pdf

Virtual Machine Live Cloning

Export a clone of a running VM

• Point-time image of running VMexported to an alternate location

• Useful for troubleshooting VMwithout downtime for primary VM

Export from an existing checkpoint

• Export a full cloned virtual machinefrom a point-in-time, existing checkpoint of a virtual machine

• Checkpoints automatically merged into single virtual disk

Duplication of a Virtual Machine whilst Running

VM1 VM2

1 User Initiates an export of a running VM

2Hyper-V performs a live, point-in-time export of the VM, which remains running, creating the new files in the target location

3 Admin imports new, powered-off VM on the target host, finalizes configuration and starts VM

4 With Virtual Machine Manager, Admin can select host as part of the clone wizard

Virtual Machine Mobility

LiveMigrationFaster, unrestricted, simultaneous VM live migrations between cluster nodes with no downtime. Now with Compression & RDMA support.

Live StorageMigrationMove the virtual hard disks of running virtual machines to a different storage location with no downtime

Shared-Nothing Live MigrationMove Virtual Machines between Hyper-V hosts with nothing but a network cable

Live Migration Upgrades

• Customers can upgrade from Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V to Windows Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V with no VM downtime

• Supports Shared Nothing Live Migration for migration when changing storage locations

• If using SMB share, migration transfers only the VM running state for faster completion

• Automated with PowerShell

• One-way Migration Only
