PowerShell Support

Resource Metering and Chargeback

• Allows monitoring:

• Processor (average)

• Memory (average, minimum, maximum)

• Disk space (maximum)

• Network (incoming, outgoing)

• Enables a chargeback management model

Hyper-V Replication

• Asynchronous updates of logged changes

• Not a function of integration components

• Five minute interval

• Manual failover

• Over-the-wire or offline initial copy

• Can be used in conjunction with multi-tenant configurations

• Can be used in conjunction with clustering

• Multiple recovery points

What Will I Cover?
