Microsoft has a server virtualization
tool that runs on top of a
Windows OS and allows the
running of multiple virtual
server instances on a single
piece of hardware.
MSVS affords the developer with
a flexible platform for the
design of application
environments and can also be
used for small server
consolidation projects. As MSVS
runs on top of Windows 2003 (or
XP) it can run Virtual Machines on a wide
variety of legacy hardware
thereby leveraging resource on
systems that have already been
purchased. The product is
available as a Standard version
that can be installed on a
system containing up to 4 CPUs
or as an Enterprise version that
scales to 32 CPUs and represents
a cost effective way to
implement virtualization
technology in non production
environments.
