Microsoft Hyper-V
This is a guide for optimizing performance in Microsoft Hyper-V environments. Our focus is on enhancing performance by adjusting the energy options within the Microsoft Hyper-V environment and optimizing timing behavior. By doing so, we aim to minimize or eliminate disruptions often caused by incorrect CPU clocking among multiple guest operating systems and the host.
It is crucial to conduct thorough testing of the Microsoft Hyper-V and VoIP environment to ensure they have ample resources and exhibit satisfactory real-time performance.
For detailed information on installation procedures related to Microsoft Hyper-V and virtual machines, please consult the respective manuals.

Suggested Machine Specifications
Using suggested machine specifications when creating a VM with anynode ensures that the VM has adequate resources (such as CPU, memory, and storage) to perform efficiently without experiencing performance bottlenecks or slowdowns.
In our anynode Performance TechNote, we've put together some tips for using anynode efficiently based on the number of sessions and your choice of operating system.
By adhering to suggested specifications, you reduce the risk of instability and ensure a more reliable computing environment for your anynode.
Improving the Real-Time Performance
anynode can withstand, to a certain extent, latency in the virtual machine, typically arising when the virtual machine lacks adequate CPU cycles due to resource-intensive processes on the host. Without proper adjustments to address this issue, the virtual environment may significantly degrade performance, leading to disruptions in the real-time behavior of the media stream (e.g., audio, fax). For additional details, refer to the Microsoft documentation on Performance Tuning Hyper-V Servers.
Enhanced Intel® SpeedStep Technology
Kindly review the BIOS settings of the Hyper-V host and ensure the deactivation of all Enhanced Intel® SpeedStep Technology configurations. It's important to note that for alternative vendors such as AMD, this BIOS feature may be named PowerNow!™, Cool’n’Quiet™, or Optimized Power Management (OPM). Disable these settings to optimize the performance of the Hyper-V host.
You can use the Intel® Processor Identification Utility to verify the SpeedStep® technology support of the CPU.
Microsoft Windows Power Options
Moreover, it may be necessary to deactivate any power options on both the Windows host and client. Regarding this matter, please also examine the BIOS settings.
Search for Power Options in your Windows control panel. Open the Power Options. Select High Performance. Click on Show additional plans and choose High Performance.
If necessary, the Microsoft Windows power plan can be set via the Command Line Interface.
Use the command powercfg.exe -L to obtain an overview of the available power schemes. The asterisk indicates
the currently active power scheme. You can switch the power scheme to High Performance using the
command
Verify whether the asterisk has shifted to High Performance using the command
