Some things were released to the press by MS yesterday about the future of Hyper-V. Things will be very, very exciting!
- Hyper-V will have "live migration" (what VMware calls VMotion). This will be made possible by a new cluster file system that MS has developed.
- A new Core edition of Windows with just the Hyper-V role will be released pretty soon. This will not support clustering. It’ll be installed onto an OEM supplied (and probably customised) memory card that will be located internally in servers, much like is being done with ESXi.
- VMM 2008 will RTM within 1 month. It was "launched" yesterday. You will want to run VMM if running multiple Hyper-V hosts (at the least) or if clustering them.
