Virtualization Books from Microsoft Insiders

  • 项目

Two new books on Hyper-V have been released or coming soon. These are written by some of the most active members of the virtualization team and extended community inside Microsoft. Some of the authors I know personally and some I know by reputation from the hundreds of questions they answer every month on our internal distribution lists and public forums so these should be great resources. I was a reviewer for a couple of chapters in the Hyper-V Resource Kit so I can’t wait to see the final product.

The first book is available now (my copy arrives today, I’ll post a review once I’ve finished it). Robert posted a status on the Hyper-V Resource Kit which is complete and should be available in the next 60 days.

Hyper-V is one of the top virtualization products, and this practical guide focuses on the essentials of Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V. Written by the Microsoft team behind the Hyper-V product, this book shows you how to perform key virtualization scenarios, such as server consolidation, software test and development, and a dynamic data center and demonstrates how Hyper-V can be used to reduce cost and eliminate the complexity of a server infrastructure by consolidating workloads to a small number of machines. In addition, the material addresses using DPM, and SCOM with VMM in order to maintain and manage Hyper-V environments.

    A really interesting green computer technology I found is desktop virtualization.  It's where multiple people can use the same computer at the same time each with their own monitor, mouse and keyboard. This saves a lot of electricity and e-waste. A company called Userful recently set a virtualization world record by delivering over 350,000 virtual desktops to schools in Brazil. They have a free 2-user version for home use too. Check it out: http://www.userful.com
