Follow me and learn Windows Server 2012 - Hyper-V Replica

  • Article

Day 16 of my 30 day quest to learn Windows Server 2012!  It’s Bruce again.  Tonight I am looking at Hyper-V Replica.  This looks to be a great solution for small and medium business for disaster recovery.  Basically in the box you have the ability to create a replica of you VM on a remote Hyper-V box and keep it in sync for disaster recovery and planed failed over scenarios.    Below we have a good video on the topic and a Hands on lab to help you learn along with some other links.  I am sure even large companies are going to use this feature in creative and innovate ways not yet imagined.
