A new feature that Microsoft is integrating with Windows Server 2008 will allow several operating systems to run simultaneously on a single physical computer, a move that will turn the heat on the likes of VMWare, the software virtualisation specialist.

Unsurprisingly, VMWare’s share prices have been down sharply by nearly 17 percent since Microsoft released Hyper-V for selected versions of Windows Server 2008.

Hyper-V is expected to allow companies to cut their number of servers by consolidating them, thereby cutting running and operating costs, and allowing improved hardware utilisation - your servers will be toiling harder rather than sitting idle most of the time.

Check out this article about Hyper-V from Microsoft, it’s always interesting to see what people think about Microsoft’s new virtualization offering. Whether it’s VMWare, Xen, Sun xVM or Microsoft, that your hypervisor meets your requirements, works within your business constraints is all that matters; everything else is just noise. Do check them out and see which one works for you.
