Microsoft's new tool for Virtualization- Hyper-V Server 2008

Virtualization is an efficient way to run multiple operating systems on a single piece of hardware the two primary uses, which it serves, are server virtualization and desktop virtualization. Hyper-V Server 2008 is a stand-alone product that enables organizations to incerase the utilization of the server and thereby reduces the operating costs by allowing them to consolidate workloads onto a single physical server. It can easily plug into customers' existing IT environments helping them manage their existing patching, provisioning, management and support tools, and processes.

Customers should use Windows Server 2008 for better robust virtualization features when compared to other servers. Doing so provides business continuity, greater scalability, disaster recovery for unifying large workloads, and flexible and cost-effective virtualization rights. You are also entitled to certain free perks from Microsoft when you purchase a Windows Server 2008 for instance one free virtual instance for Standard Edition, four free virtual instances for Enterprise Editions, and unlimited virtual instances for Data center Edition with the purchase of a license of Windows Server 2008.
