This is the first of a series of documents that I plan to write on Hyper-V and associated technologies. This whitepaper will give the reader an introduction to Hyper-V and hypervisor virtualisation. You’ll learn about why we virtualise, the architecture, virtual machines, the features and clear up some of the false rumours that are floating about. With this document you should be armed to take the next step with Hyper-V … and hopefully have an installation whitepaper from me by that time!
For our friends across the water: yeah, we don’t spell it as virtualization or virtualize 🙂
My thanks to Dave Northey, John Howard and Willem Kasdorp, all from Microsoft who have helped from time to time over the last year with my adventures in Hyper-V and also James Kane who helped with proof reading (anyone who downloaded the original of this document will have lots of typos!).
You can download the document from here.
Well done, Aidan. A very nice introduction to Hyper-V. I particularly liked the section on high availability. You have the makings of a book here!
