WINDOWS SERVER 2012 NETWORKING

HYBRID CLOUDS Windows Server 2012 is optimized for Hybrid Clouds to host multi-tenant workloads Tenant 2: Multiple VM Workloads Data Center Tenant 1: Multiple VM Workloads

SECURITY In a multi-tenant environment … … customers want security and isolation Tenant 2: Multiple VM Workloads Data Center Tenant 1: Multiple VM Workloads

MULTI-TENANT NETWORK REQUIREMENTS Tenant wants to easily move VMs to/from the cloud Hoster wants to place VMs anywhere in the data center Both want: Easy Onboarding, Flexibility & Isolation Woodgrove Bank Blue 10.1.0.0/16 Cloud Data Center Contoso Bank Red 10.1.0.0/16

NETWORK VIRTUALIZATION Woodgrove network Contoso network Woodgrove VM Contoso VM Physical server Physical network Hyper-V Machine Virtualization Run multiple virtual servers on a physical server Each VM has illusion it is running as a physical server Hyper-V Network Virtualization Run multiple virtual networks on a physical network Each virtual network has illusion it is running as a physical fabric

NETWORK VIRTUALIZATION Key Points Multiple organizations can have their own isolated networks running atop the same physical fabric The VM is totally unaware that its IP address is being virtualized VMs can now run and live migrate anywhere in the datacenter, even across subnets… Administrators don’t need to worry about VMs being “trapped” in one part of a datacenter because it’s tied to a physical address No other virtualization platform includes this capability. Even those at 10x the cost…
