• Compression

– Over 2x improvement in live migration time

– No hardware changes are required

– Enabled by default

• SMB Direct

– Utilizes existing and new high-end networks

– Enables super high-speed live migrations

– Supports SMB Multichannel to leverage multiple interfaces

• Simple guidance:

– If your live migration network is….

• 10 Gbit or less – use compression

• Over 10 Gbit – use SMB / SMB Direct

Faster Live Migration
