The Hypervisor is the one which provides the complete virtualization environment which will intend to virtualize as much as hardware and systems which will include the CPUs, Memory, network interfaces and so on. Because of the virtualization technologies such as the KVM and others such as ESXi, there has been a significant decrease in the usage if the resources and decrease in the costs involved.

  • ZERTO VIRTUAL REPLICATION - PREREQUISITES & REQUIREMENTS for MICROSOFT HYPER-V ENVIRONMENTS ZVR-REH-5.5U3 Rev01 Dec2017
    ZERTO VIRTUAL REPLICATION - PREREQUISITES & REQUIREMENTS FOR MICROSOFT HYPER-V ENVIRONMENTS ZVR-REH-5.5U3 Rev01 Dec2017 Zerto Virtual Replication is installed in a site with virtual machines to be protected as well as in the site where these virtual machines will be recovered. This document describes Zerto Virtual Replication - Prerequisites and Requirements for Microsoft Hyper-V Environments. For the requirements of VMware, Microsoft Azure or AWS protected sites, go to myZerto > Technical Documentation portal. ■ The Zerto Virtual Replication installation includes: ■ A Zerto Virtual Manager (ZVM): This is a Windows service, and manages replication at the site level. ■ A Virtual Replication Appliance (VRA): This is a virtual machine installed on each Hyper-V host to move the data to be replicated from the protected to the recovery site. ■ A Virtual Backup Appliance (VBA): This is a Windows service and manages offsite backups within Zerto Virtual Replication on each site. The VBA service runs on the same machine as the Zerto Virtual Manager service. ■ Zerto Virtual Replication can be installed at multiple sites and each site can be paired to any other site. ■ Each site is managed with the Zerto User Interface. ■ Zerto Virtual Replication also supports both the protected and recovery sites being managed by one SCVMM, for small branch offices. For example, from one datacenter to another datacenter, both managed by the same SCVMM. See the following sections: ■ “For Each Zerto Virtual Replication Hyper-V Site”, on page 1 ■ “Considerations and Guidelines”, on page 2 ■ “For Virtual Replication Appliances on the Hyper-V Host”, on page 3 ■ “Routable Networks”, on page 3 ■ “Minimum Bandwidth”, on page 3 ■ “Requirements for the Zerto Virtual Manager Web Client”, on page 3 ■ “Recommended Best Practices for the Zerto Virtual Replication Hyper-V Site”, on page 4 ■ “Open Firewall Ports for Hyper-V Environments”, on page 5 For Each Zerto Virtual Replication Hyper-V Site ■ Microsoft System Center 2012 R2, or 2016 with VMM (SCVMM) and at least one Hyper-V host.

Cisco vWAAS on Microsoft Hyper-V extends Cisco networking benefits to Microsoft Windows Server Hyper-V deployments. It improves utilization, consolidates server workloads, and reduces costs. To achieve this, Cisco vWAAS on Hyper-V uses hardware virtualization to enable multiple operating systems to run on a single host, and allows the operating systems to share the same underlying physical hardware. Cisco vWAAS on Microsoft Hyper-V supports all the WAN-optimization functionalities that are supported by physical Cisco WAAS devices. Physical memory for Cisco vWAAS on Hyper-V is provided by a Cisco UCS server.

    VNFs in a CNF environment Monika Antoniak, Piotr Skamruk CodiLime Agenda ● Who are we? ● Business use case - use existing VNFs in a containerized set-up ● Technical solution to the problem ● Q&A Who we are? Who we are ● CodiLime has been providing networking engineering services since 2011 ● As part of our R&D efforts and based on our expertise with CNFs and VNFs, we have decided to explore this topic further ● Today we are presenting the working example Business use case Business case What if… ● You love the lightness of containers and use them on a daily basis ● You value the flexibility and resilience of the overall solution ● You want a simple way to deploy things ● You enjoy using kubernetes to manage your resources ● ...and you use a business critical network function as a blackbox VM What can you do to get all of that? A step back: VNFs and CNFs VNF (Virtual Network Function): a well- CNF (Containerized Network Function): a known way to realize network functions in new way of providing required network virtualized or cloud environments functionality with the help of containers Software is provided as a VM image that Software is distributed as a container cannot be changed into a container image, image and can be managed using or is based on an operating system other container-management tools (like docker than Linux images in kubernetes env) VNF examples: vFW, vBNG, vEPC CNF examples: vCPE/cCPE, LDAP, DHCP Back to business Goal: a converged setup for running containerized and VM-based network functions ● using a single user interface
