Key Benefits:

• Establish or expand a private cloud environment
• Use your hardware more effectively
• Improve business continuity
• Establish or expand a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI)
• Make development and test more efficient

Key Features:

• Computing environment - Hyper-V virtual machine has the same components as a physical computer, and can be configured in various ways to meet different needs. Storage and networking are distinct categories due to their many configuration options
• Disaster recovery and backup - Hyper-V Replica creates virtual machine copies for disaster recovery, while Hyper-V offers two backup types: saved states and Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS), which provides application-consistent backups for VSS-supported programs.
• Optimization - Each supported guest operating system has a customized set of services and drivers, called integration services, that make it easier to use the operating system in a Hyper-V virtual machine.
• Portability - Features such as live migration, storage migration, and import/export make it easier to move or distribute a virtual machine.
• Remote connectivity - Hyper-V has Virtual Machine Connection, a remote connection tool for Windows and Linux. It provides console access to the guest, allowing you to view activities, even when the operating system hasn’t booted.
• Security - Secure boot and shielded virtual machines help protect against malware and other unauthorized access to a virtual machine and its data.
• Hyper-V is Microsoft’s hardware virtualization product. It lets you create and run a software version of a computer, called a virtual machine. Each virtual machine acts like a complete computer, running an operating system and programs.
