  • Artikkeli

This one snuck past my radar :)  Hyper-V Server 2008 R2 Beta is the downloadable Hypervisor that offers virtualization.  Why this is especially interesting is when you look at the features this supports.

Microsoft® Hyper-V™ Server 2008 R2 is a stand-alone product that provides a reliable and optimized virtualization solution enabling organizations to improve server utilization and reduce costs. With the addition of new features such as live migration and expanded processor and memory support for host systems, it allows organizations to consolidate workloads onto a single physical server and is a good solution for organizations who are consolidating servers as well as for development and test environments.
