High Availability

Your input on High AvailabilityVMs Need Access to Fibre Channel

SANsWe have apps and data there…

Legacy Apps that don’t support

ClusteringLet’s improve availability of those

apps too

Ease integration with SAN

replication/snapshotting

Make it all work.

Live Migration and Distance Replication

Disaster recovery & planned maint.

Complete Redundancy In the Box

Disaster Recovery• Hyper-V Replica for Asynchronous Replication• CSV 2.0 Integration with Storage Arrays for Synchronous

Replication

Application/Service Failover

• Non-Cluster Aware Apps: Hyper-V App Monitoring• VM Guest Cluster: iSCSI, Fiber Channel• VM Guest Teaming of SR-IOV NICs

I/O Redundancy• Network Load Balancing & Failover via Windows NIC Teaming• Storage Multi-Path IO (MPIO)• Multi-Channel SMB

Physical Node Redundancy
