Adding virtual network to Hyper-V
2008-06-10 16:51:18
Finnaly, I have found a solution for my problem, and everything works now. First, you have to create new network adapter (I’m using external). Then, you have to add Legacy network adapter to your virtual machine (machine must be turned off). Why? This is because the Beta release of Hyper-V does not contain Integration Components that support [...]

Why should you use OS virtualization?
2008-06-02 16:56:30
Today, most servers use about 8% of their resources (average). That’s too low. For example, you can have DHCP server on one physical machine and DNS server on another machine. That’ll work fine, but it would be better to have only one physical machine instead of two, because each machine needs it’s physical place, electric [...]

Virtualization hides the physical characteristics of computing resources from their users, be they applications, or [...]

2008-06-27 15:36:23

Hyper-V will cost only 28$, and comparable VMware product costs $7,000 to $14,000, depending on how many processors the server has. My personal opinion is that [...]
