Microsoft HyperV Server 2008

Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008 provides a simplified, reliable, and optimized virtualization solution, enabling improved server utilization and reduced costs.

IT pros can easily leverage their existing knowledge and skills with Microsoft virtualization products, as well as the collective knowledge of the community, minimizing any learning curve. In addition, with Microsoft providing comprehensive support for Microsoft applications and heterogeneous guest operating systems, customers can virtualize with confidence and peace of mind.

Xeon®Intel® processors

The breakthrough performance, energy efficiency, and reliability of Intel® Xeon® processor-based server systems make them the ideal choice for all of your data demanding or standard enterprise infrastructure applications.

Intel® processor-based servers enable businesses worldwide to do more and spend less—with outstanding price/performance and broad 64-bit choice across OEMs, operating systems, and applications. Supported by a single stable mainstream 2P server platform supporting a range of CPU options for IT flexibility, investment protection and easy migration from dual core to quad-core technology.

Reliable and Optimized

Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008 R2 provides a reliable and optimized virtualization solution, enabling improved server utilization and reduced costs. Since Hyper-V Server is a dedicated standalone product, which contains only Windows Hypervisor and the virtualization components, it provides a small footprint and minimal overhead. It easily plugs into customers’ existing IT environments leveraging their existing patching, provisioning, management, and support tools, processes, and skills.

With live migration, host clustering and cluster shared volume support included in the product, customers can get increased availability with support for both planned and unplanned downtime.

Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008 Features and Benefits

Microsoft Hyper-V Server uses the same virtual machine model as Windows Server 2008 w/ Hyper-V enabled so there is no need to re-tool your management infrastructure.

Live migration: Customers can dynamically move virtual machines from one physical machine to another with no downtime.
Host clustering and Cluster Shared Volume SupportProcessor Compatibility Mode for live migration– allows live migration across different CPU versions within the same processor family, (e.g.”Intel Core 2-to-Intel Pentium 4” or “AMD Opteron-to-AMD Athlon”) enabling migration across a broader range of Hyper-V host hardware.
Networking enhancements: Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008 R2 has the following networking enhancements:
- VM Chimney (TCP Offload) and VMQ support are disabled by default
- Jumbo Frame Support
- Improved network performance via support for TCP Chimney and VMQ (specific hardware NICs required)

Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008 R2 has the following performance enhancements:
- Hot Add/Remove of storage (VHDs and Pass Through Disks)
- Second Level Address Translation (SLAT) processor support for both Intel (EPT) and AMD (RVI)
- Core Parking
- Improved VHD performance for dynamic and difference disks

VHD format: To move a virtual machine from Hyper-V Server to a Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V environment (or vice versa), simply export the virtual machine and import it on the other host using the standard management tools.

BitLocker support: Hyper-V Server can take advantage of BitLocker technology to encrypt a Hyper-V Server so that even if it is stolen and the hard disks are removed, the data is still safe because it’s encrypted. This is particularly useful for branch offices or environments where physical security is a concern.

Live Backup support: Hyper-V Server includes native support for Volume Shadow Services so that it can provide Live Backup of running virtual machines without downtime.

Flexible hardware support: Microsoft Hyper-V Server leverages the Windows Server driver model and is compatible with a wide variety of server hardware and driver support for newer peripherals such as 10 Gb/E.

Flexible Storage: Hyper-V Server offers flexible storage support, such as:

Direct Attach Storage (DAS): SATA, eSATA, PATA, SAS, SCSI, USB, Firewire
Storage Area Networks (SANs): iSCSI, Fiber Channel, SAS

Virtual Machine Snapshots: Hyper-V Server fully supports virtual machine snapshots.

VSP/VSC/VMBUS: Both products fully leverage the driver enlightened architecture (VSP/VPC/VMBus) for high performance I/O. There is no conversion when moving virtual machines between Microsoft Hyper-V and Windows Server 2008 w/ Hyper-V.
