Companies of all sizes worldwide are looking to virtualization to change the way data centers operate. Server consolidation, energy efficiency, simpler management, and deployment and increased capacity are all tangible benefits to be gained from a move to virtual servers and virtually hosted services. Microsoft has introduced Hyper-V, a Hypervisor-based virtualization platform integrated with the operating system, allowing you to dynamically add physical and virtual resources into your data center with minimal pain.

InPro Hyper-V, authorHarley Stagner takes a comprehensive approach to acquiring, deploying, using, and troubleshooting Microsoft's answer to virtualization on the Windows Server platform. Learn from a true virtualization guru all you need to know about deploying virtual machines, managing your library of VMs in your enterprise, recovering gracefully from failure scenarios, and migrating existing physical machines to virtual hardware.
