This document captures the results from the bandwidth optimization experiments on HTTPS traffic, conducted in the Microsoft® Engineering Excellence Center (EEC) lab by using the Riverbed Steelhead appliance WAN optimization devices with Windows Server 2012 and Windows Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V Replica.

  • The Hyper-V® server role in Windows Server® 2012 and Windows Server® 2012 R2 includes Hyper-V Replica, which provides the ability to perform asynchronous and frequent replication of virtual machines between a primary and replica datacenter. As virtual machines can be quite large and cross datacenter network traffic is constrained, a WAN optimization solution will provide substantial benefits in bandwidth reduction. This whitepaper examines the benefits delivered by Riverbed Steelhead appliances when replication traffic flows over HTTPS using Hyper-V Replica’s certificate based authentication deployment.
