What Are Hyper V Training Courses?

September 20th, 2009

Big old Microsoft have finally opened the floodgates to the final version of it and its been available on download since august 2008. We aint talking about the latest version of the 360’s avatar characters, no, the main talking point here is windows hyper V.

Late last year, I went to a technet server keynote in London city, MS CEO Steve Ballmer gave a speech regarding the product of MS hyper v server 2008 to a crowd of 700 plus IT industry pro’s. We managed to get a preview of the features of hyper v. Things such as migration and memory distributions were covered.

I must say virtualization is a revolutionary technology that has been around, funny enough for over 40 years! Now I know that this may not sound so thrilling to some of you, more so since as far as virtualization of operating systems is concerned, VMware has pretty much dominated the market for a number of years, but I recommend that you delve deeper into the technology and read more about the many features and major improvements Hyper-V now offers.

Virtualization it is an all-green solution that allows you to save not only on energy costs for powering and cooling your servers, but also on hardware, overhead and overall operational costs by consolidating your servers and network storage. Another reason why you might want to look into virtualization is hardware underutilisation.

Logs of IT performance indicate the average server utilisation of CPU is roughly 7 percent. But when you run a few virtual servers you seamlessly maximise resource outage without neglecting performance. This is the case with a ratio of 1:10, in other words you run ten virtual servers on a single physical server.

Server Core is another exciting product being released by Microsoft. After the dust settles this is indeed a bare bones operating system that has been stripped off the .net framework which therefore only is able to run specific roles that don actually depend on the framework such as host configurations, domain names and network load balancing.

I am sure those of you who are administrators will appreciate the power of automating tasks using scripts and will be keen to learn more about PowerShell and how it can help make our lives easier.

If you are considering virtualisation then there is no doubt that the new kid on the block is hyper v training for your virtual IT infrastructure. It may be wise to read up on the subject some more and potentially you could save your company allot of money in the long run.
