This book will help you understand the capabilities of Microsoft
Hyper-V, architect a Hyper-V solution for your datacenter, plan a
deployment/migration, and then manage it all using native tools and
System Center. Coverage also includes hybrid cloud scenarios
specifically with Windows Azure to complete the full virtualization
piece of providing data both on premise and off premise.
In addition, you will explore the Windows Azure capabilities for
virtual machines and managing a hybrid cloud, including Windows
Azure's Internet as a Service (IaaS) and storage
capabilities, how seamless management is possible with PowerShell
and System Center, plus how Azure Storage can play a part in a
company's complete solution.
Key topics covered include: virtualization fundamentals, network
virtualization, storage configuration, Hyper-V management and
maintenance, failover clustering and migration, Hyper-V replica and
cloud orchestration, private cloud implementation, Azure IaaS,
Azure storage, managing with PowerShell, Hyper-V decoding, and
Windows Server 2012 R2 integration.
