Underutilized servers can unnecessarily increase hardware, installation, maintenance, power consumption, and real-estate costs. Virtualization with Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V technology:
- Consolidates workloads more efficiently on fewer servers
- Minimizes operational costs to power and cool data centers
- Maximizes flexibility in capacity planning
With Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V, organizations can now run multiple operating systems on a single physical machine via server virtualization. This enables you to consolidate underutilized servers, thereby reducing management complexity and costs. For developers running multiple operating systems in a virtual environment, Hyper-V also simplifies the creation of test environments, saving time and money.
Quantify the specific benefits of virtualization to your unique IT infrastructure and determine which of your physical servers are underutilized and, therefore, good candidates for server virtualization with the Microsoft Assessment and Planning (MAP) Toolkit.
MAP quickly gives you the answers you need for Hyper-V implementation. Take inventory of your current server environment, determine which servers are underutilized, and then generate server placements and virtualization candidate assessments for Hyper-V implementation. In addition, you can use MAP’s Power Savings Calculator to calculate potential power cost savings with Hyper-V prior to deployment.
MAP 4.0 includes a VMware discovery feature that identifies already-virtualized servers running under VMware that can be managed with Microsoft's System Center Virtual Machine Manager platform, or migrated to Hyper-V hypervisor.
What Is the MAP Toolkit?
The Microsoft Assessment and Planning (MAP) Toolkit is a powerful inventory, assessment, and reporting tool that can securely assess IT environments for various platform migrations and virtualization without the use of any software agents. This versatile toolkit:
- Quickly discovers clients, servers, and applications across your IT environment.
- Conducts migration and virtualization assessments for your IT projects.
- Auto-generates reports and proposals.
- Scales well to small businesses as well as large enterprises.
