Hyper-V Server

Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008 R2 is a stand-alone product that provides a reliable and optimised virtualisation solution enabling organisations to improve server utilisation and reduce costs.

Since Hyper-V Server is a dedicated stand-alone product, which contains only the Windows Hypervisor, Windows Server driver model and virtualisation components, it provides a small footprint and minimal overhead. It easily plugs into customers’ existing IT environments, leveraging their existing patching, provisioning, management, support tools, processes, and skills.

Some of the new key features that are available in Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008 R2 are live migration, cluster shared volume support and expanded processor and memory support for host systems.
