Video: Longhorn - Windows Server Virtualization

This video highlights two important features - Server Core and Windows Server Virtualization

The demo shows:

  • Windows Server Virtualization running on a Server Core installation mangaed remotely from another Windows Server "Longhorn" box
  • 64-bit and 32-bit VMs running concurrently
  • SUSE Linux 10 running in a virtual machine
  • An 8-core virtual machine
  • System Center Virtual Machine Manager
    • Interface and Operations
  • System Center Operations Manager
    • Monitoring the VMs on the Server Core box
    • Fire off a PowerShell (aka Monad) script to hot-add another NIC to a SQL VHD image

Just pure power!
