We have not really heard a lot about Microsoft’s upcoming server operating system Windows Server 8. Information are hard to come by at this point in time. Microsoft recently published a sneak peak video on their website that gives businesses, system administrators and tech savvy users a sneak peak of things to come.
The presentation “Realizing Your Opportunity in the Cloud” by Robert Wahbe, Corporate Vice President Microsoft Corporation, is not completely about Microsoft’s new server operating system. In fact, the reference to the system may have been overlooked by many viewers of the video, as it appears after the 36-minute mark in the video. Before that, it is more about cloud based computing and Microsoft.
The next version of Hyper-V is revealed at the 36 minute mark.
At 36:50 of this online video we demonstrate how Windows Server 8 virtual machines will help you build private clouds of greater scale by supporting (at least…) 16 virtual processors fully loaded with business critical workloads like SQL Server. Then we show you how you can deliver improved fault tolerance and flexibility, without the added tax or complexity of additional hardware, tools and software licenses, by using the new built-in Hyper-V Replica feature. All it takes is a few clicks, a network connection and Windows Server 8.
You can watch the full Windows Server 8 sneak peak video at the Digital WPC website. Please note that your browser needs to have the Microsoft Silverlight plugin installed to play the video.
