Benifits of Hyper-V and the required Hardware of it


In previous Blog we have seen what is Hyper-V and the use of VMs, And here we are moving forward with the Benefits of Hyper-V and required Hardware to create it. If still you have not read previous Hyper-V blog than before going through this blog you should read the previous one before to understand the functionality. So by click on What is Hyper-V you can read the whole article of it.



Benifits of Hyper-V and the required Hardware of it


Benefits of Hyper-V


One of the primary reasons organizations turn to Hyper-V is because it’s cost-effective—in fact, the basic Hyper-V tools are free with an enterprise agreement (EA, a volume licensing package offered by Microsoft for organizations with 500 or more computers). You will have to pay for more advanced Hyper-V functions and licensing, but even so, Hyper-V still has an edge over its competitors when it comes to price.


Hyper-V is even more attractive when you consider its similarities with its biggest competitor, VMWare. Because Hyper-V is a solid, cost-effective option, many businesses have been increasingly adopting it, which, in turn, has contributed to an increase in Hyper-V’s overall market share in recent years.


Other benefits of Hyper-V:


• The capability to create a virtual switch comes at no extra cost. A virtual switch allows all your VMs to communicate with each other, making it an integral part of virtual networking. Virtual switches are "intelligent", meaning they inspect data packets before routing communication. The capability to configure traffic in this way improves security within your virtual environment.

• Hyper-V supports multiple operating systems. Since Microsoft supports multiple operating Hyper-V systems, including Linux, you are not limited exclusively to its native OS. But, be sure to reference best practices and support documentation for proper integration of other systems to avoid any issues.


• It simplifies live migrations. This Hyper-V feature allows you to move running VMs from one Hyper-V host to another without downtime. Live migrations are simple and promote continuous operation of your network.


• It integrates seamlessly with other Microsoft products. If your department has been using Microsoft products already, adopting Microsoft technology for your hypervisor makes sense, especially since it allows hosting an unlimited number of Windows Server 2016 virtual machines.



Hardware Requirements for Hyper V


Hyper-V has some specific hardware requirements. Most modern hardware (built in the last 10 years) will meet these requirements, but it’s best to check that your system has what it needs to run Hyper-V:


• A 64-bit processor with second-level address translation (SLAT). SLAT is a technology Hyper-V uses whenever it is asked to retrieve data or instructions; it essentially translates a virtual address to a corresponding physical address, which saves memory and reduces CPU time.


• VM Monitor Mode Extensions. The same article above will also help you determine if your PC supports this.


• At least 4 GB of RAM; more is better.


• Virtualization support turned on in the BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) or UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface).

Your system will need to meet some additional requirements if you plan to use some of the more advanced features of Hyper-V.

What is STP? - Explain Advantages and Disadvantages

The Spanning Tree Protocol is a network protocol that builds a loop-free logical topology for Ethernet networks. The basic function of STP is to prevent bridge loops and the broadcast radiation that results from them. STP is a protocol. It actively monitors all links of the network. To finds a redundant link, it uses an algorithm, known as the STA (spanning-tree algorithm). The STA algorithm first creates a topology database then it finds and disables the redundant links. Once redundant links are disabled, only the STP-chosen links remain active. If a new link is added or an existing link is removed, the STP re-runs the STA algorithm and re-adjusts all links to reflect the change. STP (Spanning Tree Protocol) automatically removes layer 2 switching loops by shutting down the redundant links. A redundant link is an additional link between two switches. A redundant link is usually created for backup purposes. Just like every coin has two sides, a redundant link, along with...
