Demo - Hyper-V Server and Live Migration
Edge Team managed to get Edwin to go over the new features in Virtual Machine Manager, he had some other really cool stuff he wanted to show - so cool we weren't really sure if we were allowed to show it yet. The Word is out though now, so I'm gonna go ahead and let you see this sneak peek at Hyper-V Server and Live Migration.
Think of Hyper-V Server as just an operating system stub that allows you to run virtual machines - no requirement for a full host OS just to run VMs.
Live Migration provides fault tolerant virtual machines with no downtime when failing over to other clustered hosts. It's a really cool feature, and one many customers have asked for. Check it out!
