Hyper-V Server Now For Download

Overview

Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008 is a great choice for customers who want a basic and simplified virtualization solution for consolidating servers as well as for development and test environments. Hyper-V Server 2008 only offers the most basic of virtualization features, making it ideal for:

· Test and Development

· Basic Server Consolidation

· Branch Office Consolidation

· Hosted Desktop Virtualization (VDI)

Comparison

Hyper-V Server is a stand-alone product, similar to Server Core role but contains only the Hyper-V role installed. It’s a free product and can be download from the official website.
