Hyper-V Live Migration over SMB• SMB as a transport for Live Migration of VMs• Delivers the power of SMB to provide:

• RDMA (SMB Direct)• Streaming over multiple NICs (SMB Multichannel)

• Provides highest bandwidth and lowest latency

Live migration can stream over multiple

networks for improved bandwidth

Live Migration can take advantage of

high speed networking

RDMA enables offloading CPU

resources to NIC during live migration
