As Microsoft recommend test this in your lab first of all and then you can use this steps for your real-world implementations. Prerequisites First of all you will need 3 virtual machines to make this lab. DC (Domain Controller) SCCM (MGMT Server with SQL Server Enterprise) “ You can also deploy SQL in another server but i preferred install locally, remember that you will need a great performance.” Client (Windows 8) preferred  Features and roles you need to install on your SCCM Server.

Hyper-V Replica Hyper-V Replica  is a new built-in feature of both  Windows Server 2012  and our FREE  Hyper-V Server 2012 products.  Hyper-V Replica enables Hyper-V hosts or clusters to enable distance replication of running VMs to remote Hyper-V hosts over a standard IP WAN connection.  It provides a very cost-effective disaster recovery solution in the event of a primary data center outage. To get this feature in the VMware world, we'd pay gobs of extra money to license "Site Recovery Manager", but in Hyper-V it's just included as part of the core feature set -  no extra cost .

Virtualization  were developed to maximize the use of computing resources. We can virtualize hardware, apps and many resources to reduce the final cost of energy and so much things.
