Virtual Dedicated Servers - An Overview

Tags:
application servers

Overview Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 R2 is a cost-effective and well-supported server virtualization technology for the Windows Server System platform. As an expansion of the services which can be made available to hosters, Virtual Server presents an opportunity for the delivery of flexible and scalable offerings to the market. Virtual Server increases hardware utilization and allows the hoster to improve the return on investment made in physical hardware. In conjunction with Windows Server 2003, Virtual Server provides a virtualization platform that runs most major x86 operating systems in a guest environment, and is supported by Microsoft as a host for Windows Server operating systems and Windows Server System applications.
