As many of you know, Hyper-V Server 2008 R2 is the (soon to be released) second release of Microsoft’s free hypervisor. This is the version of Windows Server 2008 that is a free download – no license needed. It’s locked into a Server Core installation, capable of only running the Hyper-V role. There’s some new important advancements coming in the R2 release that will have an impact on market (editorial statement for now, but probably will prove to be true).
- Hyper-V R2 will increase the CPU support from 4 to 8 sockets, and from 24 to 64 logical CPUs
- Memory support will increase from 32GB to 1TB
- Increased VM capacity support per host from 192 VMs to 256 VMs
