One of my recent favorite VM platforms is Microsoft’s Hyper-V. It’s available on most desktop versions of Windows and Windows Server and in a standalone server flavor. At work, I use it to create test machines and access less-frequently used OSs. It’s been my experience that Hyper-V is light on system requirements, easy to set up, and allows for some easy administrative tasks. In many future posts, I’ll be using Hyper-V to create, manage and use a number of VMs (virtual machines). My hope is to eventually migrate my VMs, currently hosted on my gaming desktop, to another host with more RAM and a processor better suited to virtualization. If everything goes according to plan, using the same platform along the way will make the migration process much easier.
