TechEd 2009 Presentation – Hyper-V HA/DR
High Availability, Disaster Recovery Considerations for Microsoft Hyper-V
Hyper-V Virtualization enables multiple IT workloads to run on a single physical machine as virtual machines (VMs). Fewer physical machines can lead to reduced costs through lower hardware, energy, and management overhead, plus the creation of a more dynamic IT infrastructure. With this capability, however, comes an increased need for managing planned and unplanned downtime. A well developed disaster recovery plan is essential for every infrastructure, whether physical or virtual. In this technical presentation, Mr. Roudebush will focus briefly on an architectural overview of Hyper-V from the perspective of high availability and disaster recovery and discuss strategic solutions for protecting virtualized workloads on Hyper-V. This will cover both capabilities in the product today, publically-available information on future Hyper-V releases as well as solutions enabled by third-party vendors.
Objectives:
1. Provide attendees with an overview of Hyper V architecture;
2. Discuss features for high availability for Hyper V; and
3. Focus on how organizations can prepare disaster recovery solutions ahead of time with Hyper V.
