Server 2008 early adopters talk virtualization

ImageThe local launch of Windows Server 2008 in Sydney brought together a number of early adopter customers who are already looking at using the native virtualization capability, dubbed Hyper-V.

At the University of Canberra Windows Systems Team Leader Tom Townsend used Hyper-V to migrate Windows Server 2003 Active Directory services to 2008.

"We have a pair of domain controllers and decommissioned the 2003 box and we now have two physical servers for each of three domains," Townsend said.

"We got the hardware from IBM delivered at 12:30 and by 5pm we had Server 2008 and half a dozen virtual servers running."

Townsend said as "wonderful and mature" VMware is, it is "a little out of our price point" so the direction is to standardize on Windows Server virtualization technology.

The university was using VMWare's GSX Server but has about 24 virtual servers hosted by Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 in production.
