Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V, the next-generation hypervisor-based server virtualization technology, allows you to make the best use of your server hardware investments by consolidating multiple server roles as separate virtual machines running on a single physical machine. With Hyper-V, you can also efficiently run multiple different operating systems - Windows, Linux, and others - in parallel, on a single server, and fully leverage the power of x64 computing.
