Microsoft Hyper-V Released to Manufacturing

Microsoft today released to manufacturing the Hyper-V virtualization solution for Windows Server 2008. You can read more about the release on the virtualization blog. Updates will be available through Windows Update beginning on July 8th. Links to the download sites can be found on John Howard's blog.

Incidentally, Microsoft's MSDN and TechNet websites have been virtualized using Hyper-V for sometime, which is impressive given the level of traffic both of these websites receive. You can read more about this here.

Virtualization is definitely going to be playing an increasingly important role within the corporate IT environment as processors with an increasingly higher number of cores become available, not to mention the relatively small cost of fast memory these days.

I have personally been using Windows Server 2008 as my day to day development platform and blogged previously about virtualization for the software engineer. Today, however, Hyper-V is the virtualization technology I am using instead of VMWare.
