Why Microsoft Private Cloud Fast Track?

9

Redundancy/Resiliency is a Tenet

Disaster Recovery • Hyper-V Replica for Asynchronous Replication

• CSV 2.0 Integration with Storage Arrays for Synchronous Replication

Application/Service Failover

• Non-Cluster Aware Apps: Hyper-V App Monitoring

• VM Guest Cluster: iSCSI, fibre Channel

I/O Redundancy

• Network Load Balancing & Failover via Windows NIC Teaming

• Storage Multi-Path IO (MPIO)

• Multi-Channel SMB

Physical Node Redundancy

• Live Migration for Planned Downtime

• Failover Cluster for Unplanned Downtime

Hardware Fault • Windows Hardware Error Architecture (WHEA)/RAS

Fast Track Process

Formulate

Solution

• Choose and formulate solution based on Fast Track Architecture and

Management Guides

Build

Checklist

• Review of your Fast Track validation checklist for chosen Hardware

configuration and Program compliance

Install

Solution

• Build the system using physical hardware and Microsoft’s software guides

• Review of your failover cluster validation wizard reports for any potential

issues

Validation

• Execute/evaluate Functional and Stress tests using an in-person or remote

session

32

Validation Process

• In Fast Track implementations, it is mandatory that each architecture solution pass the following validation requirements:

• Windows hardware certification

• Failover-clustering validation

• Clustered RAID controller validation (if a third-party clustered RAID controller is used)

• Pre Defined Validation Criteria and more…

Ease of Use: 4.3 MB download that converts VMware virtual machines to Hyper-V

Provides a quick, low-risk option for VMware customers to evaluate Hyper-V

Includes an easy-to-use wizard-driven GUI simplifying VM conversion

Offers fully scriptable Command line interface that integrates well with data center automation workflows and

Windows PowerShell scripts.

What it does: Converts and deploys virtual machines and disks from VMware hosts to Hyper-V hosts including Hyper-V on

Windows Server® 2012.

Uninstalls the VMware tools on the source VM and installs the Hyper-V Integration Services as appropriate
