Windows Server 2008 with Hyper-V Helps Customers Make Best Use of Their
Server Investments
Windows Server 2008 with Hyper-V, the next-generation hypervisor-based
server virtualization technology, allows customers to make the best use
of their server hardware investments by consolidating multiple server
roles as separate virtual machines (VMs) running on a single physical
machine. With Hyper-V customers 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.
"As a key ecosystem partner, we are actively collaborating with
Microsoft to ensure that our HBAs seamlessly integrate with key
features of Windows Server 2008, such as Windows Server 2008
Hyper-V-based server virtualization and virtual machine management,"
said Amit Vashi, vice president of marketing, QLogic Host Solutions
Group. "QLogic Fibre Channel solutions are integrated with
hardware-assisted virtualization technologies in the Microsoft Hyper-V
hypervisor platform to extend fabric security and flexibility in
virtual environments."
