Ya yo estoy descargando mi copia para ver que tal se desempeña esta version de Hyper-V….

Update: Creo que no es tan minimalista despues de todo, estoy descargando un .ISO de 936.95M !!

Microsoft a publicar un competidor directo con ESXi ?

Al parecer si lo haran… en el blog oficial del equipo de virtualizacion de Microsoft postean la noticia.

MS Hyper-V Server: in 30 days for $0

The show begins in 10 hours, but the news it out:

* Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008, a new hypervisor-based server virtualization product (like ESXi), will be released within 30 days and be available at no cost via the Web
* Microsoft will demonstrate live migration feature of Windows Server 2008 R2. And the next version of Microsoft Hyper-V Server (the one after 2008) will have live migration capabilities.
* System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 will be released within 30 days [not a surprise], which will manage Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V, Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 R2, Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008 or VMware Virtual Infrastructure 3
* Microsoft’s global server OEM partners … report that nearly 100% of their customers who order Windows Server 2008 with hardware are also choosing to have Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V included with their order.
* Dedicated virtualization lab established within the Microsoft Enterprise Engineering Center.
