What is Virtualization ?Why Virtualization ?Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V.

Virtualization Today.Live Demo.

 Virtual machine technology applies to both server and client hardware.Virtual machine technology enables multiple operating systems to run concurrently on a single machine.Today, many operating systems are supported by Virtual PC 2007, Virtual Server 2005, and Hyper-V.

1 .Lower number of physical servers.2 .you can increase the space utilization efficiency

in your data center.3. prevent one application from impacting another

application when upgrades or changes are made.4 .speed up server deployment.

5. You can deploy multiple operating system technologies on a single hardware platform (i.e. Windows Server 2003, Linux, Windows 2000, etc).

6.Simplify disaster and recovery.7 .software test and development.

8.easy of management .

Server virtualization using Hyper-V technology has been an integral part of the operating system.Some Benefits:

Increased availability for virtualized data centers through enhancements such as Live Migration.

Improved management of virtualized data centers through Powershell and System Center integration.

Increased Performance and Hardware Support for Hyper-V Virtual Machines via 64 logical processor support and processor compatibility mode.

improved Virtual Networking Performance through new networking technologies

A simplified method for physical and virtual computer deployments by using .vhd files

Designed to provide a secure computing platform across both physical and virtual environments, enabled through next-generation architecture and security features

Warwickshire County Council Warwickshire County Council offers technical support to 249 schools in the United Kingdom (U.K.). As computers become core teaching and learning tools, the council needs to provide solutions that serve the increasing demand for technology for students, even as budgets become tighter. By adopting Windows Server 2008 R2 with the Windows 7 operating system, the council streamlined centralised services, and immediately saved an estimated £100,000 (U.S.$148,000) a year in running costs, while decreasing its carbon footprint.

Close to 76% of global enterprises have or will have a virtualization solution within the next 12 months.

62% have a virtualization solution in place or are in the process of migrating.21% plan to implement it within the next 12 months.

Rapid market adoption of server virtualization60% of those who have implemented server virtualization plan to increase spending on it.

15-20% of Windows deployments will be in virtual environments in 2007By 2010 OS virtualization will become mainstream.
