Hyper-V in Windows 8: Feature Overview

Hyper-V Windows 8 Scale, CPU, and Memory

The new scalability features say to me “virtualize anything”. The virtual machine size and cluster sizes are off the charts. Now… to find a server with 160 logical processors and 2 TB of RAM to test with. Any takers? Here are the key metrics.

• Up to 160 processors on host
• Up to 2 TB memory on host
• Up to 32 VPs per VM
• Up to 1 TB RAM per VM
• 64 TB per VHDX
• 32 nodes and 4000 VMs in cluster
• Guest NUMA (project guest NUMA topology into guest)
