Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008 provides a simplified, reliable, and optimized virtualization solution, enabling improved server utilization and reduced costs. Since Hyper-V Server is a dedicated stand-alone product, which contains only the Windows Hypervisor, Windows Server driver model and virtualization components, it provides a small footprint and minimal overhead. It easily plugs into customers’ existing IT environments, leveraging their existing patching, provisioning, management, support tools, processes, and skills.

The following table outlines which Hyper-V–enabled product would suit your needs:

Virtualization Needs	Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008	Windows Server 2008 Standard	Windows Server 2008 Enterprise	Windows Server 2008 Datacenter
Server Consolidation

微软今天如约发布了独立虚拟机操作系统Hyper-V Server 2008，并提供免费下载和使用，用户无需支付40美元即可获得来自微软的虚拟化方案。

与之前集成在Windows Server 2008里的Hyper-V模块/插件不同，Hyper-V Server 2008是一个独立的服务器操作系统，有Windows系统内核但没有GUI图形界面。它能直接运行在裸机上，因此不需要预先安装Windows Server系统，只要有支持硬件虚拟化技术的处理器即可，包括Intel Pentium 4、Xeon、Core 2 Duo/Quad和AMD Athlon 64、Athlon X2、Opteron等等。注意：Hyper-V Server 2008是一种64位技术，因此只支持64位硬件。

Hyper-V Server 2008最多支持128个虚拟机系统，但它本身不包括虚拟操作系统的授权，用户需要单独购买，当然把授权的物理服务器上的操作系统迁移到Hyper-V Server 2008里是可以的。
