23 Benefits Benefits of starting with a free Hyper-V Server 2012 R2 virtualization platform?

24 Benefits No cost to license the hosts No cost for management tools No limitations on Hyper-V features

25 Benefits High availability, business continuity, and disaster recovery. Failover clustering Shared nothing live migrations Live VM export

26 Benefits High availability, business continuity, and disaster recovery. NIC teaming and VM network health detection Cluster aware updating

27 Benefits High availability, business continuity, and disaster recovery. Dynamic Memory+ Hot-add SCSI with dynamic SCSI VHDX resize

28 Benefits High availability, business continuity, and disaster recovery. Extended replication with granular control Unlocked API support

29 Benefits Compatible with Windows Azure IaaS Compatible with System Center for a Private Cloud solution

30 Benefits Improved security and simplicity with Generation 2 VMs Resource metering and QoS USB pass-through Full desktop support with connection (console)

31 Limits No VM Lockstep Protection, but 3 rd party options Can only hot-add SCSI disks and not NICs, USB, CPU, RAM

32 Limits Fewer supported Guest Operating Systems Fewer compatible service providers Fewer ISV support statements
