Windows Server 2012 R 2…

Datacenter without boundaries Multitenant cloud infrastructure Standardized datacenter resource management Enterprise-class virtualization Robust open source support Best-in-class performance and scale for Microsoft workloads

High-performance live migration Accelerate live migration performance with compression or RDMA-capable network adapters For <10 GBit network connectivity, live migration compression delivers superior performance – 2 x acceleration for most workloads Compute Network RDMA delivers low latency CPU and network utilization. For >10 GBit networks, Remote direct memory access (RDMA) offload delivers the highest performance with low CPU utilization and transfer speeds of up to 56 Gb/s Windows Server 2012 R 2 supports Ro. CE, i. WARP and Infiniband RDMA solutions Gb. E (Gigabit Ethernet) network connectivity Live migration with RDMA

VMs built on Optimized, Software-Based Devices Synthetic NIC PXE Boot Ease of Management & Operations • PXE boot from Optimized v. NIC • Hot-Add CD/DVD Drive Dynamic Storage • VMs have UEFI firmware with support for GPT partitioned OS boot disks >2 TB • Faster Boot from Virtual SCSI with Online Resize & increased performance Security • Removal of emulated devices reduces attack surface • VM UEFI firmware supports Secure Boot Generation 2 Virtual Machine Boot From Virtual SCSI UEFI Firmware with Secure Boot

Online VHDX Resize provides VM storage flexibility Expand Virtual SCSI Disks 1. Grow VHD & VHDX files whilst attached to a running virtual machine 2. Then expand volume within the guest Shrink Virtual SCSI Disks 1. Reduce volume size inside the guest 2. Shrink the size of the VHD or VHDX file whilst the VM is running Expanded Virtual Disk & Volume without Downtime
