Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V Role introduces a new capability, Hyper-V
Replica, as a built-in replication mechanism at a virtual machine (VM) level.
Hyper-V Replica can asynchronously replicate a selected VM running at a
primary site to a designated replica site across LAN/WAN. Here both a primary
site and a replica site are Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V hosts where a primary
site runs production or the so-called primary VMs, while a replica site is
standing by with replicated VMs off and to be brought online, should the
primary site experiences a planned or unplanned VM outage. Hyper-V Replica
requires neither shared storage, nor a specific storage hardware. Once an
initial copy is replicated to a replica site and replication is ongoing,
Hyper-V Replica will replicate only the changes of a configured primary VM,
i.e. the deltas, asynchronously. The following schematic... (more)
Windows Azure is a cloud OS. It is an infrastructure with computing,
networking, and storage capacities; a global service publishing and

Windows domain, Active Directory holds the one version of truth and is the
ultimate authority of all resources defined. Similarly when it comes to
Microsoft cloud computing, there is no question that Windows Azure is the de
facto platform as an extension of Active Directory in the cloud. While
enterprise IT is transitioning form on-premise deployment to an emerging
architecture of hybrid cloud, IT professionals are facing unprecede... (more)
