Windows Server® 2008 includes Hyper-V (formerly codenamed viridian), a powerful virtualization technology that enables businesses to take advantage of the benefits of virtualization without having to buy third-party software.
The most widely leveraged benefit of virtualization technology is server consolidation, enabling one server to take on the workloads of multiple servers. For example, by consolidating a branch office’s print server, FAX server, Exchange server, and Web server on a single Windows Server, businesses reduce the costs of hardware, maintenance, and staffing.
Hyper-V enables consolidation of a broad range of services ranging from resource-intensive services like Microsoft SQL Server™ to third-party applications that may run on previous versions of Windows® or Linux. In addition to reducing the cost of buying or leasing server hardware, virtualization reduces costs associated with managing server heat, electricity usage, physical space, and maintenance.
To take benefit of Hyper you need :-
Intel VT Processor
AMD V Processor
