One of the technologies that has a positive impact on the lives of Windows Server administrators and users is undoubtedly virtualization . This gives us a series of benefits that range from savings in money by avoiding buying hardware equipment, to improvements in security since we can know and implement different systems without affecting the productive environments of the organization. There are different platforms for this but Microsoft integrates its own virtualization platform and it is the already known Hyper-V in which we find different functions and characteristics to manage each virtual machine in the correct way..
Hyper-V systems
Hyper-V is an integrated platform (although disabled by default) in Microsoft operating systems Giving the option to create and manage virtual machines of multiple operating systems not only Windows , for example, we can create and manage machines of systems such as:
Hyper-V features
Some of the features of Hyper-V are:
- Mounting virtual fiber channels
- Integration of the .VMCX format of virtual machines where the configuration options are greater
- Allows you to run a live migration of virtual machines between computers
- It allows creating QoS (Storage Quality of Service- Quality of Service)
- We can integrate network and memory adapters to the virtual machine in a simple way
- Supports Windows Containers for website and application support over HTTPS
Windows Server 2022 is the new operating system that will be launched by Microsoft and which we can know thanks to the Insider program, there we can download this version in beta and what better way to use Hyper-V to explore its different news and improvements.
Hyper-V is logically available in Windows Server 2022 and we will see how to install it there..
