This document summarizes key features coming in the next version of Hyper-V, codenamed "VNext" or V3, which will be included in Windows 8. Some of the major new capabilities highlighted include increased scalability up to 160 processors and 2TB of RAM per host, and 512GB of RAM per virtual machine. Other improvements include enhanced data mobility options using new replication features, support for larger virtual hard disks up to 16TB with more robust formats, support for shared storage over SMB file servers, and quality of service features for managing network bandwidth.

17. Virtual Machine Fibre Channel
Hyper-V Hyper-V New in Windows 8:
Host Host FibreChannel into the
guest. This gives
customers another option
for guest clustering.

18. Remote File Server
Hyper-V supports file storage
Hyper-V Hyper-V
through the SMB protocol. This
Host Host
works in all scenarios, including
planned/unplanned failover and live
migration. You can cluster the file
server for availability and scalability.
Cross-cluster live migration requires
remote file servers.

Requirements:
Requires updated protocol, SMB

Requires remote VSS for host

19. Virtual Machine Snapshots
Great for capturing a
