Management Server

• Management Server• Requires Windows Server 2012 as Operating System

• Database• SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1 / SP2 and SQL Server2012 / 2012

SP1• Support for AlwaysOn (SQL 2012)• All System Center Components will have the same

requirements

Configure and Deploy

Configure and Deploy Fabric

STORAGE

Discover, classify, and allocate storage for use by the private cloud. Provide the correct storage for use with appropriate access.

COMPUTE

Deploy your compute resources, taking them from bare metal to fully deployed for your physical and virtualization hosts.

NETWORK

Abstract your complex networking infrastructure into logical and VM networks for cloud use. Assign IP, virtual IP, and MAC addresses from pools and integrate with load balancers.

CLUSTER

Consolidate your fabric elements for use in a private cloud.

What’s new in SP1 : Enhanced Bare Metal Deployment

• Deep Discovery when running WinPE• Use Consistent Device Naming

(CDN)

• Host vNIC Configuration – Converged Fabric

• Configure Logical switch• Management construct for virtual

switch

• Increased #hosts under VMM management• 1000 hosts/25000 VM’s per VMM

What’s new SP1 : Enhanced Cluster Management• Manage “Possible/Preferred Owner” settings for VMs• Manage VM Priority• Supports CSV2, 64 cluster nodes, 8000 VMs/cluster,

1024 VMs/node• Availability Sets (anti-affinity)• Ensures VMs are placed on different hosts for VM and Service

continuity per policy• Works even for stand alone hosts• Leverages “AntiAffinityClassNames” property for Windows

Server 2008 R2 & Windows Server 2012 failover clusters

What’s new in SP1: Storage• Deploy VM’s with VHDX format

• Use of SMB 3.0 file share for stand alone/clustered host• Windows File Server and NAS devices supporting SMB 3.0

• SMI-S provider for Microsoft iSCSI target

• Compatibility* with Synthetic Fiber Channel in the guest

• Live Storage Migration• Seamless use of ODX with capable hardware (does not work for VMM library)

• Support for SAS and dynamic iSCSI target arrays

• Ability to assign LUNs to VMs using IQN

Hyper-V Network Virtualization

Server Virtualization• Run multiple virtual servers

on a physical server• Each VM has illusion it is running

as a physical server

Hyper-V Network Virtualization

• Run multiple virtual networks on a physical network

• Each virtual network has illusion it is running as a physical network (uses NVGRE)

• Realized via Windows Server and VMM
