Microsoft continues to drip feed information into the blogosphere about the new capabilities to expect in Hyper-V 3.0 and to be honest the product is shaping up to look like a great compete to vSphere.
Some of these features are:
160 logical processors on Hyper-V hosts
2TB RAM of RAM per host
32 vCPUs with up to 512 GB RAM per VM
NUMA in the guest, so that the VM has processor and memory affinity with the host
Storage Live Migration,without a shared storage backend.
New virtual disk format, called VHDX with a 2TB limit for the currently used VHD format, with a maximum of 16 TB.
Offloaded Data Transfer (ODX), enables offload storage features to the backend storage (comparable with vStorage API for Array Integration (VAAI) by VMware)
Multiple concurrent Live MigrationsActive Directory will be virtualisation aware, providing snapshot support for VMs running Domain Controllers
Virtual Fibre Channel Support and direct access to SAN LUNs using MPIO
VM boot support from fiber channel and iSCSI SANs
Updated virtual switch, providing multi-tenancy capabilities
CPU metering
Resource pools
Hyper-V replica providing asynchronous/consistent replication functionality
Remote Desktop Session Host now fully supports RemoteFX
Support for NIC Teaming, load balancing and failover in the OS
Support for Bitlocker on Clustered disks.
Cluster Shared Volume 2.0 with built-in replication and hardware snapshotting
Support for Data de-duplication
Windows Server 8 provides the ability to turn on and off the GUI
That's a lot of known features, we wonder what will be the surprise features that are not announced yet!
