Server 2012 & Windows 8 Seminar Slide Deck

Transcript

4. • Start Screen • Cloud integration • Reset and Refresh your PC • Windows To Go • Remote Desktop Services • Client Hyper-V • Support for multiple processor architectures
5. Windows 8 Editions Windows 8 comes in four editions: • Windows 8 • Windows 8 Pro • Windows 8 Enterprise • Windows RT is the ARM-specific version of Windows 8 designed for mobile devices that use the ARM processor architecture
6. Windows 8 Hardware Requirements Recommended hardware requirements: • 1 GHz or faster processor • 1 GB RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit) • 16 GB available hard disk space (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit) • DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver Windows 8 feature-specific requirements: • UEFI-based BIOS for secured boot process • 64-bit processor with second level address translation support • TPM for full BitLocker support
9. Using Server Manager, you can: • Manage multiple servers from one instance of Server Manager • Deploy roles and features to remote servers • Generate Windows PowerShell scripts for actions performed in Server Manager • Group servers • View the status of all servers from a single location • Determine whether roles on the network are functioning efficiently
10. The new PowerShell Integrated Scripting Engine provides: • Integrated help – enables you to search for Windows PowerShell cmdlets if you know a few characters in their name. • IntelliSense - which suggests values as you type and prompts you for parameter values.
11. • Benefits of Using Server Core  Reduced update requirements.  Reduced hardware footprint. • Graphical shell is now a feature. Can be turned off and back on again • Server Core Installation Options  Server Core. The standard deployment of Server Core. It is possible to convert to the full version of Windows Server 2012.  Server Core with Management. This works the same as a deployment of Windows Server 2012 with the graphical component, except that the graphical components are not installed.
14. New Storage Features in Windows Server 2012 • Multi-terabyte volumes • Data deduplication • Storage Spaces and Storage Pools • Unified remote management of File and Storage Services in Server Manager. • Server Message Block 3.0 • iSCSI Target server • Resilient System • Scale-Out File Server • Windows PowerShell cmdlets for File and Storage Services
15. Windows Azure Online Backup •Back up to the cloud • Uses Windows Server Backup • Extensible to enable third-party providers
16. Overview of Networking Changes •DNSSEC •DHCP •Data Center Bridging •NIC Teaming •Data Center Transmission Control Protocol •Network Direct •IPsecTOv2 •SR-IOV •Receive Segment Coalescing •Receive Side Scaling •Quality of Service
17. DirectAccess Improvement  Connects automatically to the corporate network over the public network  Uses various protocols, including HTTPS, to establish IPv6 connectivity  Supports selected server access and IPSec authentication  Supports end-to-end authentication and encryption  Supports management of remote client computers  Allows remote users to connect directly to intranet servers Features of DirectAccess  Always-on connectivity  Seamless connectivity  Bidirectional access  Manage-out Support  Improved security  Integrated solution Benefits of DirectAccess
19. DHCP Improvements DHCP name protection can be configured in properties at the IP level or scope level DHCP Limitations WS 2012 solution Failure of DHCP will result in loss of network connectivity for clients DHCP failover Windows systems can have their DNS name registrations overwritten by non-Microsoft systems bearing the same system name DHCP name protection
21. Introducing IP Address Management IP administration area Description Planning Reduces the time and expense of the planning process when changes occur in the network Managing Provides a single point of management and assists in optimizing utilization and capacity planning for DHCP and DNS Tracking Enables tracking and forecasting of IP address utilization Auditing Assists with compliance requirements and provides reporting for forensics and change management IPAM facilitates IP management in organizations with complex networks by enabling administration and monitoring of DHCP and DNS
24. • Virtual hard disks can be as large as 64 terabyte • File structure minimizes the chance that the disk will become corrupt if the host server experiences a power outage • VHDX supports better alignment when deployed to a large sector disk • Allows larger block size for dynamic and differencing disks, which provides better performance for these workloads VHDX
25. • Network virtualization • Bandwidth management • DHCP guard • Router guard • Port mirroring • NIC teaming • Virtual Machine Queue • IPsec task offloading • SR-IOV
26. Virtual Machine Movement & High Availability in Hyper-v Available options for moving virtual machines are: • Virtual machine and storage migration • Quick Migration • Export/Import of a virtual machine
27. How Does Virtual Machine and Storage Migration Work? Storage Migration technology enables you to move a virtual machine and its storage to another location without downtime. • During migration the virtual machine hard drive is copied from one location to another • Changes are written to both source and destination drives • You can move virtual machine storage to same host, another host, or server message block share • Storage and virtual machine configuration can be in different locations
29. Overview of Hyper-V Replica Hyper-V Replica enables you to replicate a single virtual machine over WAN or LAN network to another host. Hyper-V Replica components: • Replication Engine • Change Tracking • Network Module • Hyper-V Replica Broker role
