VIRTUALIZATION 3.5
Distributed virtual networking with centralized provisioning, administration, and monitoring using data center-wide network aggregation
• Centralized Virtual Network Management - Simplify provisioning and administration of virtual networking through a
centralized interface. Create and manage a single distributed switch with distributed virtual port groups that span the
hosts of a data center.
3
SCVMM provides a central point of
management for logical networking, however
setup is complex and lengthy series of steps
that must be done sequentially
No, logical networks act more like port
groups, providing a single place to identify
the networks that should be in a cluster.
Hosts must be separately configured. You
can only use a VLAN once for a specified
datacenter. Lacks inheritance and override
capabilities like those provided by port
groups in vSphere
• Network Health Check - Easily backup and restore distributed networking configurations with rollback and
recovery options
3
No No
• Support for Private VLANs – Segment network trac easily in shared environments
3
Yes No
• Consistent Management Experience – Whether managing networking on a host directly or via vCenter Server,
administrators experience a consistent management experience
3
No No
• Expanded port configuration policies - Simplify port configuration by utilizing Port Groups that allow for the
inheritance of configurations and settings from the vSwitch or override inheritance to specify specific settings or
NIC teaming policies for a given port group
3
No, port profiles don’t oer the same
capabilities for inheritance and overriding of
inheritance for settings
Logical Networks have very limited
capabilities and don’t oer same capabilities
for inheritance and overriding of inheritance
for settings
NIC Teaming
• Enhanced NIC Teaming - Give each virtual machine built-in NIC failover and load balancing, enabling greater
hardware availability and fault tolerance. Load based teaming allows dynamic balancing of the load across physical
adapters on the VDS.
3
Limited, Windows Server NIC Teaming can
only be configured at the uplink level, without
the ability to override port profile settings
Limited with only basic configurable options
• NIC Teaming Policies - Allow users to configure multiple active and standby adapters. Alternate active and standby
adapters amongst multiple port groups to decrease required host port count while maintaining high levels of
availability.
3
Standby adapters must be dedicated
requiring additional physical NICs and
network port count
No
• Granular Configuration - Teaming configuration may vary per port group on the same virtual switch and uplinks
3
No No
Automated Network Resource Management with Network I/O Control (NIOC) - Define priority access to network resources according to established business rules
• Network Shares - Set network resource priorities through the use of shares
3
Yes No
