Microsoft’s Hyper-V server virtualization technology could ship as early as June or July. This is shorter than the 180 days projected after the launch of Microsoft Server 2008 which launched in February.
Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V is a next generation hypervisor server virtualization technology. It allows you to consolidate multiple server roles as virtual machines (VMs) running on a single physical machine.
It will add to the VM options already offered by VMware and Xen derivatives by Citrix (Citrix purchased XenSource in 2007), Red Hat and Oracle. With the desire by IT for lower TOC and a higher ROI, virtualization offer cost-effective and flexible solutions. This makes Hyper-V a timely release for Microsoft.
The Microsoft Virtual Machine Manager that enables increased physical server utilization, centralized management of virtual machine infrastructure and rapid provisioning of new virtual machines by the administrator and authorized end users should ship 30-60 days after Hyper-V is released.
