Q&A for Windows Server R2 – including live migration

With the release of Windows Server 2008 R2 Windows Server TechCenter and HyperV Server R2 Windows Server 2008 R2: Virtualization with Hyper-V: Home there are new features and functionality in the Virtualisation stack. New remote desktop features are included to provide VDI Support and traditional terminal services in a seamless environment.

In this thread we hope to answer any questions you have about Server Virtualization, Windows Server 2008 R2 and related software/migration concerns.

One thing I want to point out, for those who use Live Migration, is that the free Hypervisoir, Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008 R2, includes clustering, high availability, and Live Migration. That means anyone can download and use Microsoft Hyper-V server for free and get full virtualization features like Live Migration. For more information and the download, see http://www.microsoft.com/hyper-v-server/en/us/r2.aspx
