5. Virtualization Market Today Computerworld “Although virtualization has been the buzz among technology providers, only 6% of enterprises have actually deployed virtualization on their networks, said Levine, citing a TWP Research report. That makes the other 94% a wide-open market.” The Rise of the Virtual Machine and the Real Impact It Will Have “We calculate that roughly 6% of new servers sold last year were virtualized and project that 7% of those sold this year will be virtualized and believe that less than 4% of the X86 server installed base has been virtualized to date.
6. Virtualization 2010 Information Week Oct. 2007 “The [virtualization field] is nowhere near saturated. IDC estimates that only 17% of the worldwide server market will be virtualized by 2010, up from 5% in 2005.”

14. Hot off the Press eWEEK Labs Tests Windows Server 2008 Virtualization “Along with the Release Candidate 0 build of Windows 2008 that Microsoft recently released came the debut public appearance of Microsoft's Windows Hypervisor, once known by the code name Viridian. Based on eWEEK Labs' early tests of the RC0 code, Microsoft's VMware challenger appears to be off to a good start.” Source: http://www.eweek.com/slideshow/0,1206,a=215966,00.asp

23. Hyper-V Built-In Capabilities 32-bit (x86) & 64-bit (x64) VMs Large memory support (64 GB) per VM SMP VMs (up to 4 cores) Integrated cluster support for Quick Migration and HA Volume Shadow Service integration for data protection Pass-through disk access for VMs Virtual Machine snapshots New hardware sharing architecture (VSP/VSC/VMBus) Disk, networking, input, video Robust networking: VLANs and NLB DMTF standard for WMI management interface Support for Full or Server Core installations
24. Windows Server Core Windows Server frequently deployed for a single role MustdeployandservicetheentireOS in earlier Windows Server releases Server Core a new minimal installation option Provides essential server functionality Command Line Interface only, no GUI Shell Benefits Fundamentally improves availability Less code results in fewer patches and reduced servicing burden Low surface area server for targeted roles More secure and reliable with less management
25. Security Isolation No sharing of virtualized devices Separate VMBus per vm to the parent No sharing of memory Each has its own address space VMs cannot communicate with each other, except through traditional networking Guests can’t perform DMA attacks because they’re never mapped to physical devices Guests cannot write to the hypervisor Parent partition cannot write to the hypervisor
28. Virtualization and High-Availability Traditional Non-Virtualized Environment Downtime is bad, but affects only one workload Virtualized Environment Value of the physical server goes up Downtime is far worse because multiple workloads are affected Virtualization and High-Availability Go Hand in Hand
29. Windows Server VirtualizationHigh Availability Providing solutions for both planned and unplanned downtime Planned downtime Quickly move virtualized workloads to service underlying hardware More common than unplanned Unplanned downtime Automatic failover to other nodes (hardware or power failure) Not as common and more difficult
