Windows Server 2008 Enterprise delivers an enterprise-class platform for
deploying business-critical applications. Help improve availability with
clustering and hot-add processor capabilities. Help improve security with
consolidated identity management features. Reduce infrastructure costs by
consolidating applications with virtualization licensing rights. Windows Server
2008 Enterprise provides the foundation for a highly dynamic, scalable IT
infrastructure. Windows Server Hyper-V, the next-generation hypervisor-based
server virtualization technology, allows you to make the best use of your server
hardware investments by consolidating multiple server roles as separate virtual
machines (VMs) running on a single physical machine. With Hyper-V you can also
efficiently run multiple different operating systems—Windows, Linux, and
others—in parallel, on a single server, and fully leverage the power of x64
computing. Hyper-V provides a dynamic, reliable, and scalable virtualization
platform combined with a single set of integrated management tools to manage
both physical and virtual resources, enabling you to create an agile and dynamic
data center.
