Networking in VMM 2016 includes enhancements such as logical networks, network load balance integration, gateways, and network virtualization, which enable administrators to efficiently provision network resources for a virtualized environment.
First you need to define the model/design you will choose for your network. Planning is the first more important task you need to carry out.
The following should be considered:
- Physical and Virtual Network
- Make sure your hardware (Servers, Switch, Storage) support the network design model
- Will QoS be put in place? Does your physical network device support QoS?
- Is your environment going to support customers/tenants?
- How will you isolate the traffic: physical separation, network virtualization or VLAN?
