Hyper-V, Microsoft's virtualization technology, has matured into an enterprise-ready platform. Unfortunately, if you are new to virtualization or have an extensive background in VMware, for example, often you find yourself stranded in a pool of unfamiliar terms and concepts or even get lost in the combination of Hyper-V with System Center, without even talking about the questions that might arise around adopting cloud technology. The good news is that these questions are common, both in Server Message Blocks (SMBs) and in enterprise environments. By writing this book, I hope you as a reader can gather together information on some of the most common stumbling blocks to help you chart a clear path to a successful deployment, whether you are using Hyper-V in a standalone or in a clustered setup, integrating with System Center or not, or optimizing toward a private or a hybrid cloud architecture. Besides all the other interesting features of this latest version of Microsoft's server operating system, one of the key reasons to actually migrate is the updated virtualization component, Hyper-V.
