Once connected, VMM can create and assign LUNs, initialize disks, create partitions, volumes etc. VMM can also remove capacity, unmounts volumes, mask LUNs etc.
Storage Spaces
Transform high-volume, low cost disks into flexible, resilient virtualized storage
Storage Tiering*
Pool HDD & SSD and automatically move hot data to SSD for increased performance
Data Deduplication
Reduce file storage consumption, now supported for live VDI virtual hard disks*
Spaces can use DAS only (local to the chassis, or via SAS)
Hot Data
New PowerShell cmdlets are available for the management of storage tiers
VMM allows IT Admin to assign Shares to Hyper-V hosts for VM placement, handling ACLing automatically.
Support for efficient & simplified deployment of VMs to classifications Now integrated with Clouds

vSphere API for Multipathing (VAMP) is only available in Enterprise & Enterprise Plus editions of vSphere 5.5 vSphere API for Array Integration (VAAI) is only available in Enterprise & Enterprise Plus editions of vSphere 5.5 vSphere vSAN is still in beta vSphere Flash Read Cache has a write-through caching mechanism only, so reads only are accelerated. vSAN also has SSD caching capabilities built in, acting as a read cache & write buffer.

Each vNIC can have multiple VLANs attached to it, however if using the GUI, only a single VLAN ID can be specified.

Creating an external network transforms the chosen physical NIC into a switch and removes TCP/IP stack and other protocols Optional host vNIC is created to allow communication of host out of the physical NIC

The vSphere Distributed Switch (required for PVLAN capability) is available only in the Enterprise Plus edition of vSphere 5.5 and is replaceable (By Partners such as Cisco/IBM) rather than extensible. ARP Spoofing, DHCP Snooping Protection & Virtual Port ACLs require the vCloud Networking & Security package, which is part of the vCloud Suite or a Partner solution, all of which are additional purchases Trunking VLANs to individual vNICs, Port Monitoring and Mirroring at a granular level requires vSphere Distributed Switch, which is available in the Enterprise Plus edition of vSphere 5.5

Logical Networks
Abstraction of Infrastructure Networks with VMM
Logical networks are named networks that serve particular functions i.e. Backend, Frontend, or Backup. Used to organize and simplify network assignments Logical network is a container for network sites, IP subnet & VLAN information Supports VLANs & PVLAN Isolation Hosts & Host Groups can be associated with Logical Networks IP Addresses can be assigned to Host & VM NICs from Static IP Pools
VMM supports specifying IP range, along with VIPs & IP address reservations
Each IP Pool can have Gateway, DNS & WINS Configured. IP address pools support both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, but not in the same pool. IP addresses assigned on VM creation, and retrieved on VM deletion

Port Classifications
Abstract Technical Depth from Virtual Network Adaptors
Port Classifications provides a global name for identifying different types of virtual network adapter port profiles Cross-Switch - Classification can be used across multiple logical switches while the settings for the classification remain specific to each logical switch Simplification Similar to Storage Classification, Port Classification used to abstract technical detail when deploying VMs with certain vNICs. Useful in Self-Service scenarios.
