Configure and deploy: Fibre Channel SAN Scale-out file servers from bare metal Clustered Hyper-V hosts Networking IP address management Logical switches Logical networks Virtual networks Delegated capacity for departments VM Additional Service Provider Capacity VM Expanding your network / capacity to a service provider

Hardware Use SLAT enabled hardware Intel – VT AMD - -V Storage Storage Spaces (HBA) vs Array Controller vs SAN Scale out File Server/SMB 3.0 Network Use 10GbE Use multiple physical adapters per host NIC Teaming (on the Host)

Clustering Cluster Aware Updating Storage Optimize for Random IO Dedicate disks to SQL Compute Get hardware with offload technologies ie. RSS, DCB, RSC, RDMA VM Affinity / Availability sets Live Migration Live Storage Migration Shared-nothing Live Migration Hyper-V Replica Replicate disk changes to a VHD between sites A cheaper HA option

Operating System Configure templates to deploy Windows Server ‘Core’ SQL Host and Guest CPU Virtual NUMA SQL Memory Dynamic Memory (manage this in WAP) SQL Storage Virtual Disks VHDX -Fixed vs Dynamic sizing (not passthru) Guest Storage SMB 3.0 Virtual Hard disk sharing (Server 2012 R2) SQL Network DVMQ, vRSS SR-IOV (virtual function on NIC) QoS /DCB bandwidth management

HA with Guest Clustering Use anti affinity to keep VMs on separate hosts HA DR with Always On SQL Cluster / Clustering Not limited by virtualization on Hyper-V all SQL and Hyper-V features available and supported.
