Maximize capacity by removing duplicate data

• 2:1 with file shares, 20:1 with virtual storage

• Less data to back up, archive, and migrate

Increased scale and performance

• Low CPU and memory impact • Configurable compression schedule• Transparent to primary server

workload

Improved reliability and integrity

• Redundant metadata and critical data

• Checksums and integrity checks• Increase availability through

Inbox disaster recoveryHyper-V Replica

Benefits• Ships as a component of Windows Server 2012 with no additional installation required

• Host-based replication operates at the virtual machine level and is application agnostic

• Storage agnostic—works with any combination of SAN, DirectAccess server, or Server Message Block 3.0 (SMB 3.0)

• Works with both clustered and non-clustered environments

Site A – Primary location Site B – Remote location

Disaster recovery scenarios: • Planned, unplanned,

and test failover

• Preconfiguration for IP settings for primary/remote location

12


NIC Teaming

Virtual adapters

NIC Teaming

Team network adapter

Team network adapter

Operating system• Provides network fault tolerance and

continuous availability when network adapters fail by teaming multiple network interfaces

• Vendor agnostic and shipped inbox

• Provides local or remote management through Windows PowerShell or UI

• Enables teams of up to 32 network adapters

• Aggregates bandwidth from multiple network adapters

• Includes multiple nodes: switch dependent and independent

Filecopy

• Automatic detection and use of multiple network connections between SMB client and server

• Helps server applications be resilient to network failure

• Transparent Failover with recovery of network failure if another connection is unavailable

• Improved throughput

• Bandwidth aggregation through NIC Teaming

• Multiple nodes/CPUs for network processing with RSS-capable network adapters

• Automatic configuration with very little administrative overhead

14


IP Address continuity with DHCP Failover

• Provides IP address continuity to clients by helping eliminate single points of failure

• Provides inbox support for failover, without the need for clustering

• Based on DHCP failover IETF spec • Uses a failover setup consisting of two

servers located across different geographic locations

• Includes active/active or active/passive behavior

Hot standby DHCP failover in a hub-and-spoke deployment

Load-sharing DHCP failover in a single site with a single subnet
