Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 Beta now available

  • Artykuł

Starting today you can download the Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 beta release.  For Hyper-V this specifically means that you can start evaluating the following new Hyper-V features:

  • Dynamic Memory – the new feature that allows Hyper-V to dynamically change the amount of memory assigned to a virtual machine at run time, to get higher consolidation ratios.  I spoke about this at TechEd US 2010 – and you can watch the movie here.
  • RemoteFX – provides support for rich graphics (Silverlight, 3D, etc…) when using Hyper-V to host desktop virtual machines.

You can register to download the beta here: https://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2008/en/us/sp1.aspx

Note that while registration is required, there is no approval process and you will get immediate access to the bits.

Cheers,
Ben

    Can we also try this beta release on Hyper-V R2 server? I understand that Hyper-V R2 server is basicly a core Windows 2008 R2 server that only runs the Hyper-V role, but I'd rather be sure before I try this out on my Hyper-V R2 server at home and break something. I'm very interested in trying out the Dynamic Memory feature! Cheers Nicolas
