Enabling business continuitythrough virtualisation.

Virtualisation brings new agility

• Server Virtualisation involves the creation and management of virtual machines (VM)

• A virtual machine is a software implementation of a machine that executes programs like a physical machine

• A VM is effectively, a file, and thus, opens up new opportunities around migrations, upgrades, backups, and DR

What is Hyper-V?

• Hyper-V is Microsoft’s next generation hypervisor (virtualisation layer) and is available in 2 forms.

• Hyper-V offers a compelling, cost effective virtualisation platform, with high levels of performance, and scalability.

• Hyper-V takes advantage of the latest innovation in server hardware technology.

The 2 sides of Hyper-V…

Local High Availability

1. 2 Hyper-V R2 Nodes in a Failover Cluster. Each Node has 2 VMs running.VMs are stored on the SAN.

2. Node 1 Fails, and also brings down 2 VMs

3. Failover Clustering in Hyper-V R2 ensures that VMs restart on Node 2 of the Hyper-V Cluster

SAN

REPLICATION

There are multiple ways of achieving geographical disaster recovery and business continuity, however one of the easiest, and most cost-effective, is through technologies provided by Partners like DoubleTake.

Live Migration - Daytime Business Continuity

1. 2 Hyper-V R2 Nodes in a Failover Cluster. Each Node has 2 VMs running.VMs are stored on the SAN.

2. We decide we’d like to Live Migrate a VM from Node 1 to Node 2.

3. Live Migration in Hyper-V R2 ensures that VMs are migrated with no downtime.
