19.03.2008Microsoft announces availability of Hyper-V Server 2008
Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer today announced the release of Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008 during the TechNet Server and Tools keynote address in
London. Hyper-V Server 2008 is now available from
the Microsoft website as a
no-cost download.
Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008 is a bare metal hypervisor, meaning that it runs directly on top of physical hardware
allowing virtual machines operating systems to run on top of it, similar to VMWare's ESX platform or Citrix XenServer. Previous Microsoft
virtualization platforms requires a separate Windows session running as a host, with virtual machines running on top of that.
Companies
that deploy a Hyper-V virtualization solution for can consolidate Windows or Linux workloads onto a single physical server or to run client operating
systems and applications in server-based virtual machines in the data center. Management is done through Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine
Manager 2008, which is currently available as beta software, although Microsoft expects final version will be released by the end of the month.
Minimum hardware requirements for Hyper-V Server include an x64 processor with hardware-assisted virtualization (either Intel VT or AMD
Virtualization) that is also Data Execution Protection (DEP) enabled. It also requires a second computer, typically in an Active Directory environment
running the Hyper-V manager.
Both Dell and HP will be delivering servers based on this new hypervisor.

01.10.2008Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V available through the TechNet Plus portal
Hyper-V, a key feature of Windows Server 2008, has now released to manufacturing (RTM) and is available for deployment into production environments. A
beta of Hyper-V was included with Windows Server 2008 and this update provides the final release. Now, it's available to TechNet Plus Subscribers.
Server virtualization, also known as hardware virtualization, is a hot topic in the IT world because of the potential for serious
economic benefits. Server virtualization enables multiple operating systems to run on a single physical machine as virtual machines (VMs). With server
virtualization, you can consolidate workloads of underutilized server machines onto a smaller number of fully utilized machines. Fewer physical
machines can lead to reduced costs through lower hardware, energy, and management overhead, plus the creation of a more dynamic IT infrastructure.
