Description:There are real business drivers behind the recent sharp buzz around virtualization. Companies of all sizes worldwide are looking to virtualization as a major player in the future of datacenter design. Server consolidation, energy efficiency, simpler management and deployment and increased capacity are all tangible benefits to be gained from a move to virtual servers and virtually hosted services. Microsoft has seen the light and is here to help with Hyper-V, which, according to the company, “is a next-generation Hypervisor-based virtualization platform integrated with the operating system that allows you to dynamically add physical and virtual resources.” In this book, Harley Stagner examines Hyper-V from every angle, offering recipes for deployment and administration that allow customers to immediately begin taking advantage of the product in their own environments.
