Introduction

Welcome to the best book we've ever written about Microsoft's hypervisor technology: Hyper-V! Hyper-V is a foundational virtualization technology released in 2008 by Microsoft, and this book is intended to be a resource for systems administrators looking to use it in a cost effective and efficient manner. Other books may be written about Hyper-V, but no others so far have appeared on the landscape written by those who helped shape or support the product.

The book is meant to cover the essentials of using Hyper-V, giving you the information necessary to get up and running quickly. The book includes technical depth (some not found anywhere else), but it isn't intended as a comprehensive guide to all aspects of Hyper-V.
