Hyper-V

Microsoft Hyper-V is a server virtualization software developed by Microsoft Corporation that virtualizes a single hardware server into multiple virtual servers/machines. Each virtual machine runs as an isolated logical unit/partition and the underlying hardware resources (processor, hard drive, memory, etc.) of the host server are shared between the virtual machines.

Microsoft Hyper-V offers several benefits: By offering live migrations and failover clustering, it maximizes the usage of hardware resources and minimizes downtime leaving a reduced data center footprint. As a result, IT teams becomes more efficient with an easy-to-use management tool. Less time spent on system maintenance, means more time to datacenter development.
