Hello All,
For anybody in the know, are there any plans for an overhaul of the current System Center Virtual Machine Manager R2 in terms of a refresh of the management console interface, operation, increased levels of functionality, etc. in the coming future? One of my biggest complaints with Hyper-V has been the lack of holistic management capabilities within SCVMM. Current Hyper-V environments still require at a *minimum* the use of 3 different consoles on each individual Hyper-v host: Hyper-V Management MMC, the Cluster Management MMC and Disk Management MMC. I am really hoping to see a revised SCVMM version that consolidates all pertinent Hyper-V operations under a single console, like and has been the case with vCenter since its infancy. Also an improvement in the responsiveness and efficiency of such a critical piece of management.
We are looking at a Hyper-V deployment of 8-12 hosts and about 300 VM's. However I am concerned about the increase in overall management for this environment. I would like that piece of mind in knowing that Microsoft is addressing the current level of disparity and lack of efficiency in its *centralized* management of Hyper-V environments.
Anybody able to share some good news??
