Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 R2 SP1 (beta 2): ke stažení - TechNet Blog CZ/SK - Site Home

Beta 2 od Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 R2 je ode dneška volně ke stažení. Doporučeno instalovat pouze do testovacího prostředí.

Nícméně pro mě osobně je velmi zajímavé, že tuto verzi Virtual Serveru je možné provozovat na Windows Vista (!), takže konečně mohu ve Vistách provozovat virtuální prostředí.

Novinky (EN):

AMD Virtualization (AMD-V) compatibility
Intel Virtualization Technology (IVT) compatibility
Host Clustering technical white paper
Active Directory integration using service connection points
Volume Shadow Service, which provides customers with improved support for backup and disaster recovery. Instead of scheduling downtime for backing up each virtual machine individually, customers will now be able to take snapshot backups of physical machines that will in turn take snapshots of all the virtual machines on that physical host
Offline VHD mounting now enables customers to view and manipulate the files in a VHD without having to start the virtual machine. This will now enable administrators to easily deploy scripts and perform virus scans across VHDs without having to start each virtual machine
Windows Vista will be supported as a guest OS when Virtual Server 2005 R2 SP1 becomes generally available
