Windows Server 2012 – a cloud-ready platform

Windows Server 2012 introduced a huge number of new features and capabilities for features based on cloud computing, such as multitenancy, extensible Hyper-V virtual switch, traffic shaping, built-in protection against malicious networking behavior of VMs, network bandwidth management, and many more, which were needed for the purpose of offering an enterprise-level cloud solution based on Microsoft Windows Server platform.

The Microsoft virtual switch supports Network Device Interface Specification (NDIS) filter drivers and Windows Filtering Platform (WFP) drivers, and also enables third-party organizations to develop Hyper-V APIs for integration purposes.
