Executive Summary
Today, Microsoft® offers Virtual Server 2005 R2, a software virtualization platform that runs most major x86 operating systems in a guest environment. Storage administrators deploy Virtual Server 2005 R2 to consolidate underutilized servers,
support legacy operating systems, automate software test and development environments, and simplify disaster and recovery planning. In the future, Microsoft will offer Windows Server Virtualization (previously code named Viridian) as part of the Windows Server Longhorn release. This new hypervisor-based technology will provide a more scalable, secure, and highly available virtualization solution. Microsoft’s virtualization solutions combined with QLogic’s Host Bus Adapter (HBA) virtualization technologies further increase hardware utilization and enable organizations to rapidly configure and deploy virtual machines.
