Moore\u2019s law still applies, even if it is different than expected: more cores rather than faster threads.\u00a0 Storage needs to keep up with compute speed.\u00a0 IOPS is the key: faster disk (SSD) and more spindles (cheap scalable disk).<\/p>\n
99% of tier 1 SQL workloads can be virtualised with the new VM maximums of Hyper-V: 1 TB RAM and 64 vCPUs.<\/p>\n
Hyper-V, Storage, and Networking<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Jeff Woolsey, Principal PM of Hyper-V, comes on stage to demo.\u00a0 I\u2019ve met Jeff.\u00a0 He\u2019s an enthusiastic guy and it shows on stage.\u00a0 He\u2019s talking agility and flexibility in the cloud OS, Windows Server 2012.\u00a0 That\u2019s the number 2 reason people virtualise.\u00a0 A demo VM with 64 logical processors and 100 GB RAM.<\/p>\n 985,000 IOPS from a single VM.\u00a0 This was a hardware limitation.<\/p>\n Now an ODX demo.\u00a0 10 TB file is copied from one machine to another.\u00a0 30-40% CPU utilisation and fully saturated Ethernet.\u00a0 With ODX enabled, the same file copy.\u00a0 1 GigaBYTE\/second.\u00a0 Takes 10 seconds to copy this file, with offloaded data transfer on an EMC SAN.\u00a0 No network utilisation.<\/p>\n Hyper-V Extensible Switch, focusing on the extensibility, demoing the Cisco 1000v to deploy QoS profiles.<\/p>\n On to automation for reducing costs and increasing quality.\u00a0 Over 2400 PowerShell cmdlets.\u00a0 Demo will use POSH to enable Hyper-V Replica.\u00a0 He\u2019s using Orchestrator to power up the VMs in the other site, as I\u2019ve been talking about at events here in Ireland.\u00a0 All the dependencies can be modelled with VMs powering up in order.<\/p>\n Back to Satya<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n A video: \u201cIt\u2019s in the box; it\u2019s there\u201d.\u00a0 That\u2019s the Windows Server way.\u00a0 No $250-$400 per VM for SRM.\u00a0 Hyper-V is built-in, free, and there for you to use.<\/p>\n Mark Russinovich<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cWe wanted it so easy to deploy virtual machines that even your boss could do it\u201d \u2013 on Azure Virtual Machine portal.<\/p>\n System Center 2012 App Controller (likely SP1 or vNext) will be used to upload a VM from the private cloud to Azure.\u00a0 A VM\u2019s VHDs have been stored in a library.\u00a0 The migrate action can upload the VM to Azure.\u00a0 You can configure the instance during this wizard.\u00a0 In this example, the VM has 2 VHDs, and both are migrated up.<\/p>\n Using a tool called CloudXplorer, he downloads the VHDs of a VM to a private cloud Hyper-V host.\u00a0 A new VM can be built from these VHDs.<\/p>\n Aflac (insurance company with annoying sponsorship placements in American Football games) join Mark.\u00a0 Full N-Tier app based on SQL cluster and SharePoint running.\u00a0 Load balancing in place.\u00a0 Domain controllers on Azure as well.\u00a0 And System Center Operations Manager running as an Azure VM instance.<\/p>\n On to the dev stuff \u2026 I\u2019ll skip that.<\/p>\n Satya Nadella opens things up, President, Server and Tools Business.\u00a0 This will be a BIG event for his group: Windows Server 2012 and System Center 2012. With each generation of computing (client\/server onwards) there has been an increase in agility\/flexibility and value.\u00a0 That\u2019s what this keynote is all about.\u00a0 This will manifest in a new … Continue reading “TechEd North America 2012 Day 1 Keynote”<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"_wpcom_ai_launchpad_first_post":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[176],"class_list":["post-12734","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-eventnotes","tag-eventnotes"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t![\"image\"](\"https:\/\/aidanfinn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/image9.png\" "\\"image\\"")
