Microsoft Hyper-V technology provides advanced virtualization technology with the following characteristics and advantages:

64-bit high-performance architecture support

The new 64-bit microkernel Hypervisor architecture enables Hyper-V to provide a wider range of device support methods, such as support for large amounts of memory, as well as enhanced performance and security, and can host more virtual machine running instances.

Dynamic memory allocation technology

Memory can be dynamically allocated according to the actual memory requirements of virtual machines, which can maximize the number of virtual machines turned on at the same time and ensure the high performance of virtual machines. The difference between the virtualization technology of Microsoft and other manufacturers is that Microsoft dynamic memory allocation technology allocates the actual physical content to each virtual machine, while the memory management function of other manufacturers is to allocate virtual memory, which is similar to the Pagefile technology supported by Microsoft's previous operating system.

Extensive operating system support

In order to better meet the existing environment of enterprise IT and the future development trend of IT, Hyper-V widely supports running different types of operating systems in virtualized environment at the same time, including 32-bit and 64-bit different server platform operating systems, such as Windows, Linux and other operating systems.

Support for virtual VLAN

In order to better meet the customization of the network environment in the enterprise environment, and to ensure the mutual isolation of information between virtual machines, and to ensure information security, in Hyper-V, administrators can divide the VLAN of virtual machines in the virtual environment through virtual machine settings, so as to ensure the mutual isolation of information between virtual machines and ensure information security.

Network load balancing

A new virtual switching feature is included in Hyper-V, which means that virtual machines can be configured to run Windows Network load balancing (NLB) service in a simple way to balance the load of multiple virtual machines on different servers.

Hyper-V distributes load to network client and server applications across multiple servers in a NLB cluster. NLB is particularly useful for ensuring that stateless applications, such as Web-based applications running on Internet Information Services (IIS), scale by adding additional servers as the workload increases.

When the load increases, NLB allows the addition of additional servers to achieve scalability. In addition, NLB allows users to easily replace failed servers for reliability.

A complete and open extended architecture for virtualization

For the future development of enterprises, Hyper-V provides a good extended development framework and API, so that enterprises can integrate their own unique hardware devices into the virtualization platform and provide virtualization services for virtual machines. The standards-based Windows Management Architecture (WMI) interface and API interface included in Hyper-V enable software vendors and developers to quickly create custom tools, programs, and improve virtualized platforms.

Hyper-V can dynamically add logical processors, memory, network adapters, and storage to a supported user's operating system while it is running; it can provide advanced network functions for each virtual machine, including NAT, firewall, and VLAN allocation. This flexibility can better support the requirements of network security.

Hyper-V uses the familiar Microsoft Management console (MMC) interface to manage Hyper-V configuration and virtual machine settings, and the configuration management features of GPO to manage Hyper-V host virtualization and virtual machine configuration. Hyper-V also provides comprehensive support for Windows and supported Linux guest operating systems. It can be said that Hyper-V is a highly flexible, high-performance, cost-effective and widely supported virtualization platform.
