More on Hyper-V... Runs on any Intel-VT or AMD-V system with a “Designed for Windows” logo Native x64 Hypervisor X86 / x64 VMs Up to 1 TB Parent Support Up to 64GB VM Memory Up to 4 CPU VMs 16 core host support Pass-through disk access for VMs New hardware sharing architecture (VSP/VSC) – Disk, networking, input, video Robust networking – VLAN support, NAT, Quarantine

Monolithic vs. Microkernelized monolithic hypervisor Simpler than a modern kernel, but still complex Contains its own drivers model microkernelized hypervisor Simple partitioning functionality Increase reliability and minimize TCB No third-party code Drivers run within guests VM 1 (“Admin”) VM 1 (“Admin”) VM 3 Any ‘Designed for Windows’ Hardware * Hypervisor VM 2 (“Child”) VM 2 (“Child”) VM 3 (“Child”) VM 3 (“Child”) Virt.

The power of Hyper-V Enlightenment/Para-virtualisation is the key to high performance Allows the Guest OS to understand it’s being virtualised and co-operate to provide the best performance Hyper-V is designed to utilise the virtualisation capabilities of Intel-VT and AMD-V enabled processors Hardware Virtualisation allows high performance virtualisation of the Windows Guest OS – Server 2008, Server 2003 SP2, XP SP3, Vista SP1 – Certain Xen-Enabled Linux Distributions Novell SUSE SLES 10 SP1 & Red Hat Enterprise for now... The future of virtualisation is Enlightenment/Para- virtualisation with hardware virtualisation assist
