Double the Performance of Your Exchange Infrastructure

Microsoft Exchange Server workloads perform very well on VMware vSphere. Run all Exchange server roles, including the mailbox server, on vSphere with confidence, to not only match but exceed the performance of physical servers. Each VMware vSphere virtual machine scales to 128 vCPU and 6 TB of memory, and can effortlessly support the IO requirements of the largest and most intensive Exchange mailbox servers configurable. With VMware vSphere, multiple mailboxes can be scaled out on larger multicore servers to increase overall throughput.

By right-sizing an Exchange Mailbox Server (or any other role), we have demonstrated that virtualized Exchange Server achieve comparable performance level (or better than) with fewer compute resources than typically recommended in the Microsoft “Preferred Architecture” Guide. In its virtual incarnation, an Exchange Server on the vSphere platform benefits greatly from the superior resource scheduling, efficiency and redundancy inherent in the hypervisor – two major considerations informing the typical over-allocated compute and storage resource recommendation common in a “Preferred Architecture” implementation.

Hyper V is one of the hottest feature of Windows Server 2012. You will definitely want to install Hyper V server role and play around with it. Installing Hyper V role in server 2008 in VMware Workstation was difficult until VMware released VMware Workstation 9. Here I will show you how to install Windows Server 2012 as virtual machine in VMware workstation 9 with Hyper V ready. So let’s get going.

In select disk option, choose create new virtual disk and click Next button. In disk type, choose SCSI and click Next button.

Now, specify the disk capacity. I will enter 90 GB so that I will have enough space to install virtual machines in Hyper V. Then click Next button. Browse the location where you want to save the disk file. Click Next button.

Now you can see all the information in one place. If you think something is not right then you can click back and edit it. Click Finish button. Now click edit virtual machine settings to configure installation file of Server 2012.

As you can see below picture, select CD/DVD under device and browse the location of ISO installation file of Server 2012.

After configuration click OK button and click power on this virtual machine. You can now start installing Windows Server 2012.

After installation completes you can start using Windows Server 2012. You can also install Hyper V role and install virtual machines.
