This slipped under the radar with all the hoopla for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2. MS released a beta for R2 of the free version of their virtualisation server product, Hyper-V Server. It adds:
- Live Migration and clustering!!!
- Use of up to 1TB of RAM.
- All the other Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V goodness.
The addition of clustering and Live Migration is big news. I didn’t expect that.
