There’s been a lot of information around Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V this year, but one of the biggest outstanding questions regarded something called Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008, a standalone version of the Hyper-V role in Windows Server 2008. This week, finally, those questions have been answered.
Monday, at a Microsoft Virtualization event in Bellevue, Washington, the software giant unveiled a few interesting virtualization news tidbits. For example, the company’s System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 product, which can manage environments running on all of Microsoft’s virtualization platforms, will ship within 30 days. The company also showed off some live migration features of Windows Server 2008 R2, due next year. Live migration will let customers move applications running in virtual environments from one server to another without disrupting users. VMWare already offers similar functionality.
System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 is the latest version of Microsoft’s heterogeneous virtualization management server, and it can manage virtual machines hosted on Microsoft Virtual Server 2005, Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V, MHVS 2008, or VMWare. This tool is aimed at larger businesses that will host multiple environments virtually, Microsoft says.
