Although Microsoft did not confirm directly the launch, a representative of the firm’s public relations of the company sent an email referring briefly to a “product that marks a milestone” on Thursday. Then another representative hinted in an email that the reference had to do with Hyper-V.
While none said that was exactly the announcement, several blogs reported on Wednesday that Hyper-V would be launched on today Thursday. Other sources close to the company also said that the technology was in its final stages, but spoke in return for not revealing his identity.
Microsoft said it would launch its monitoring technology Hyper-V six months after the launch of Windows Server 2008, the latest version of the Windows operating system for servers. The company launched the software in late February.
Microsoft had originally trying to launch Hyper-V as part of the original launch of Windows Server 2008, but the technology was backward and reschedule to availability for 180 days, or about six months after the launch of Windows Server 2008.
Microsoft delayed the launch of Hyper-V, originally called codename “Viridian” because the company chose to withdraw some functions originally raised.
The virtualization is starting to become a key element in companies that are conducting the reduction of costs for data centers that run operating systems in virtual containers rather than physically in servers. Microsoft aims to reach the leader of virtualization VMware on the provision of these technologies for hardware systems that not only run Windows but also Linux or other operating systems.
The company said that promises to make virtualization a key part of its strategy of management systems and now also is spreading beyond the hardware towards virtualization applications and desktop computers.
