IT professionals seek virtualization solutions in the areas of flexibility, reliability, high availability, and rapid disaster recovery. Microsoft Hyper-V (Microsoft’s hypervisor-based server virtualization technology) provides a reliable virtualization platform for businesses that require a powerful platform without breaking their IT budget.
Microsoft Hyper-V’s thin microkernelized hypervisor architecture enables users to virtualize their infrastructure. Through integrated management, users can manage their physical and virtual resources with a single set of tools. It’s easy to connect to your IT infrastructure, allowing your IT professionals to maximize their current processes, management, provisioning, and patches.
Microsoft Hyper-V is available as a feature of Windows Server 2008. The 64-bit micro-kernelized hypervisor architecture gives Hyper-V the ability to support a variety of devices. The result is improved security and performance. It offers extensive operating system support to run different types of operating systems at the same time. This includes 32-bit and 64-bit systems on Linux, Windows, and other systems. Additionally, it can support up to four multiple processors in an enabled virtual environment. This means that a user can benefit from multithreaded applications on a virtual machine. This technology also includes virtual switch capabilities that allow virtual machines to run with Windows Network Load Balancing (NLB).
Hyper-V enables fast migration with minimal downtime, allowing the user to benefit from high performance and minimal downtime. Plus, you can easily roll back to a previous state and improve backup and recovery solutions. You can scale up your virtualization environment due to multiple processors and cores at the host level. There is also better access to memory within virtual machines. This efficient technology maximizes the utilization of test hardware which can help improve test coverage and reduce costs. With broad support for guest operating systems, Hyper-V provides a huge platform for your development and test environments.
With Hyper-V, Microsoft’s hypervisor-based server virtualization technology, it is now easier than ever to take advantage of the cost savings of virtualization. It has the ability to run several different operating systems on a single server in parallel and take full advantage of the power of x64 computing. Superior technology enables you to optimize your server hardware by consolidating multiple server roles so that there are separate virtual machines running on a single physical machine. Microsoft Hyper-V provides a reliable virtualization platform that meets the demands of businesses of all sizes.
