Introducing Hyper-V replication
In the first section of this chapter, we will go through an introduction to Hyper-V Replica. This section will provide an in-depth knowledge about Hyper-V Replica and all its related components. We will discuss the Hyper-V Replica architecture to understand the logic behind the scenes. Once we are familiar with the core architecture of Hyper-V, we will move forward with a discussion of the deployment scenarios of Hyper-V Replica in today's server-virtualized environments. We will also understand the hardware and software requirements for running the Hyper-V replication feature. And last but not least, we will see the security considerations of running Hyper-V Replica in our virtualized environments.
Hyper-V Replica uses an asynchronous replication mode to transfer VM-related changes from one Hyper-V server to the Hyper-V Replica server over a normal TCP/IP network. This approach of replicating your production workload VM-related data to another Hyper-V server...
