Great Technical Resources for Hyper-V: How to get started and find advanced configurations

I wanted to highlight a couple new resources that are available for Hyper-V.  The first is an amazing update to the Hyper-V Technical Information and Resources page on TechNet.  There is great information for Hyper-V including:

• Installation Guides
• Deployment and Performance Guidance
• Deployment Guides
• Planning and Pre-deployment Tools
• Management Tools
• Workload Specific Guides, including Sharepoint, SQL, and Exchange whitepapers

This is definitely a site to bookmark as a Hyper-V technical reference. 

Another nice resource for all the IT Pros out there is a new reference poster available for download, which covers Windows Server 2008 R2 Feature Components architecture.  Here is the Hyper-V Architecture.

The full poster includes not only the Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V architecture, but other Windows Server 2008 R2 features such as

• Active Directory Domain Services
• File Services
• Internet Information Services
• Remote Desktop Services
• BranchCache
• Management Interfaces
• DirectAccess

This is a nice poster to have around to review what’s in Windows Server 2008 R2.
