The Networking Challenges

- Tenant Networks to be isolated from Provider Space

- Network Virtualization present in Server 2012 but…- Complex to configure, no SysCtr Integration- Tenant Networks fully isolated

Networking Changes in R2

What’s new in Networking

- Inbox, multitenant NVGRE Gateway- Remote Tracing- IPAM Integration- Cisco Nexus 1000v

HNV Gateway

Multi-Tenant HNV Gateway

- Virtual Machine running Server 2012 R2 with RRAS Role

- On dedicated Hyper-V Host- 50 S2S VPNs / 200 virtual Subnets per single GW - Service Template for Scale Out / Redundancy- Support for Site-to-Site VPN with 3rd Party
