11. Server running Hyper-V Server running Hyper-V
High-performance live migration
Accelerate live migration performance with compression or RDMA-capable network adapters
For <10GBit network connectivity, live migration compression delivers superior performance – 2x acceleration for most workloads
For >10GBit networks, Remote direct memory access (RDMA) offload delivers the highest performance with low CPU utilization and transfer speeds of up to 56Gb/s
Windows Server 2012 R2 supports RoCE, iWARP and Infiniband RDMA solutions
