Abstract

In this session, we cover the changes to the Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V storage stack that target performance and scale. We will look at various workloads; VDI, SQL etc, and their IO characteristics when virtualized and analyze the performance on local as well as SMB3 configurations.

Learning Objectives

Understand Hyper-V storage stack and IO model, as they interact with underlying storage devices, local and SMB file servers.
Understand how IO patterns of ‘native’ application workloads such as VDI and SQL Server are affected by operating within a virtual machine.
