Key Features Hyper-V Network Virtualisation Hyper-V Network Virtualisation isolates the communication between virtual machines and traffic between physical servers, improving security via this separation of the server and network configurations. Hyper-V Extensible Switch Hyper-V provides advanced protection, traffic isolation and prioritisation, metering and fault-finding.  The Hyper-V Extensible Switch lets you use existing third party tools for security, monitoring or other specialist functions. Virtual Machine Scale and Mobility Hyper-V Server 2012 can host vital virtual machines with more virtual processors and memory – and host more of them on larger server clusters to enable you to consolidate large workloads densely and efficiently.  This provides flexibility in placing and managing virtual machines within your infrastructure along with the ability to undertake live migrations for minimal disruption to your operations.
