Let me caveat my next statement by saying that I think Hyper-V is a great virtualisation platform that meets the needs of many customer environments… but… Hyper-V does lack some features that would allow it to stand tall alongside the market leading product (VMware ESX) and I was disappointed when the dynamic memory feature was pulled from the second release of Hyper-V<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As I wrote when discussing new features in the Windows Server 2008 R2 release candidate<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“I asked Microsoft\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Jeff Woolsey, Principle Group Program Manager for Hyper-V, what the problem was and he responded that memory overcommitment results in a significant performance hit if the memory is fully utilised and that even VMware (whose ESX hypervisor does have this functionality) advises against it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s use in production environments. I can see that it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not a huge factor in server consolidation exercises, but for VDI scenarios (using the new RDS functionality), it could have made a significant difference in consolidation ratios.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Well, it seems that there may be a silver lining to this cloud (or at least, a shiny metallic grey one) as Clive Watson highlighted the results from some testing with Remote Desktop Services<\/a> (Microsoft’s VDI broker) running on Hyper-V and reported that:<\/p>\n

“We conducted our testing using both non-SLAT and SLAT hardware and found that SLAT enabled processors increased the number of sessions by a factor of 1.6x to 2.5x compared to non-SLAT processors.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Basically using an SLAT-enabled processor (Intel Nested Page Tables and AMD Enhanced Page Tables)<\/a> in a server should make a big difference to the consolidation ratios achieved in a VDI scenario.<\/p>\n

Of course, if SLAT allows improved performance, then other platforms will also benefit from it (although not necessarily to the same degree) but, if VDI really is a feasible technology solution (I have my doubts and consider it a “significant niche” solution), I’m sure Microsoft will come up with something for the third incarnation of Hyper-V.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
