Introducing Hyper-V
With the release of Windows Server 2008, Microsoft has included a built-in virtualization solution,
Hyper-V. Hyper-V is a role of Windows Server 2008 that lets administrators create multiple virtual
machines. A virtual machine is a separate, isolated environment that runs its own operating system
and applications.

Virtual machine technology isn’t new—it’s been available from Microsoft in both Virtual PC
and Virtual Server since late 2003 and from other vendors since the 1970s. By including it in the
operating system, Microsoft has made an extremely feature-rich product available at no extra cost.

Hyper-V takes the concept of virtualization to the mainstream IT environment by including it
in the operating system. Previous Microsoft virtualization solutions ran on top of the operating
system—a significant difference from the way Hyper-V is designed. Inclusion in the operating sys-
tem also provides a seamless management experience when paired with the System Center family
of products.

Scenarios for Hyper-V
Hyper-V was developed with several key scenarios in mind. When Microsoft started develop-
ing Hyper-V, the development team spent a great deal of time meeting with customers who
were using virtualization—small businesses, consultants who implement virtualization on
behalf of their customers, and large companies with multimillion-dollar IT budgets. The fol-
lowing key scenarios were developed as a result of those meetings; they represent customer
needs, demands, and wants.

Server Consolidation
Systems are becoming increasingly powerful. A couple of years ago, quad-processor servers
started to enter the mainstream market at enterprise-friendly prices. Now, with major processor
manufacturers providing multicore functionality, servers have more and more processing power.
Multicore technology combines multiple processor cores onto a single die, enabling a single
physical processor to run multiple threads of execution on separate cores. Virtualization and
