What is Microsoft Hyper-V?
Microsoft Hyper V is an updated version of Microsoft's proprietary virtualization system. Like its predecessor, it's based on a 64-bit hypervisor and was introduced with Windows Server.
Hyper-V continues to allow for the creation of a hypervisor that can run multiple virtual machines on the same server. It includes enhancements and new features aimed at improving scalability, storage, and networking capabilities, making it an even more powerful tool for managing virtual environments.
