Virtualization is not a universal server.

While the current cloud computing is getting louder, virtualization is actually the pillar behind cloud computing, and many companies must first apply virtualization before thinking about cloud computing. Today's virtualization has become one of the hottest it technologies for years and has been selected by Gartner as the hottest it technology.

Virtualization has become a hot spot for current enterprise IT applications, and the main reason is that virtualization can help organizations effectively isolate IT resources from applications, thereby making it more efficient and inefficient to leverage the enterprise's IT resources and reduce their investment in it costs and management. This is undoubtedly a great attraction for companies of any size.

At the same time, we also see that the separation between IT resources and applications has broken the original tight binding between these resources, making the enterprise IT systems more flexible, with the "on-demand" dynamic characteristics. This can also be seen as a prototype of cloud computing.

Virtualization is not everything.

As we all know, there are many aspects of Windows Server 2008 R2 that provide support for virtualization, including presentation virtualization (implemented through Terminal Services roles), network virtualization (implemented through VPN components), and server virtualization (implemented through the Hyper-V role), and Hyper-V is one of the new and widely used components, because the need to run multiple operating systems on the same physical device is still the most important form of enterprise virtualization applications today. Hyper-V is known as the server virtualization platform by Microsoft, and its main goal is to realize server virtualization.

However, in the practical application of virtualization, enterprises often encounter some old servers, then, pure virtualization technology can fully solve the problem of the old server? In response, Microsoft Data Center and cloud computing solutions expert Wu gave his answer.
