Whats new with virtualization, particularly in regards to Hyper-V?
Hyper-V with R2 has grown up a lot in key areas since its initial release. First, you might remember that the original Hyper-V didn’t launch until 180 days after the release of Windows Server 2008. There was no such wait this time around, and Windows Server 2008 R2 has all the built-in functionality of the standalone Hyper-V Server 2008 R2. There are two notable changes with Hyper-V R2. First, Quick Migration – a topic of criticism with the first release – is a thing of the past, as the R2 version now includes Live Migration functionality that is more on par with VMware’s VMotion technology. Secondly, Cluster Shared Volumes (CSVs) are also available with Hyper-V R2, which account for Microsoft’s initial step toward improved cluster awareness of disk resources.
