Microsoft Hyper-V

The key features of Hyper-V are as follows:

· 64-bit native hypervisor-based virtualization.

· Ability to run 32-bit and 64-bit virtual machines concurrently.

· Uniprocessor and multiprocessor virtual machines.

· Virtual machine snapshots, which capture the state, data, and hardware configuration of a running virtual machine. Because snapshots record system states, you can revert the virtual machine to a previous state.

· Large virtual machine memory support.

· Virtual local area network (VLAN) support.

· Microsoft Management Console (MMC) management snap-in.

· Documented Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) interfaces for scripting and management.
