HP Best Practices for Configuring Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V on HP ProLiant and StorageWorks MSA2000fc Technologies

This paper specifies best practices for implementing Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V (Hyper-V) on HP ProLiant and StorageWorks technologies. Hyper-V is the next-generation server virtualization technology that allows to maximize the return on the server hardware investments by consolidating multiple server roles into separate Virtual Machines (VMs) running on a single physical server. With Hyper-V, one can run multiple different operating systems in parallel on a single server and fully leverage the power of x64 computing. The HP ProLiant systems infrastructure, whether it's the HP BladeSystem (BL) technology, the ProLiant DL technology, or the ProLiant ML technology in conjunction with HP StorageWorks 2000fc Modular Smart Array (MSA2000fc), is an ideal solution for Microsoft Hyper-V.
