After that, we need to install the Hyper-V role in order to set up this segmented network we've been discussing. And after that, we've got to have a virtual switch to add in, so that way we can segment our network using software-defined networking. Next, we have physical requirements. Software-defined network servers are what we call compute hosts. We've already been discussing Hyper-V hosts. But when we talk about software-defined networking, we refer to the servers as compute hosts because they share more than just their hard drive. They also share processors. They share RAM. They share all different types of resources. We want to make sure we're on at least a 1.4 gigahertz processor with…
