Book Description

Learning Hyper-V will help you understand the core components of Hyper-V and provide you with the knowledge you need in order to become proficient in it. You'll be able to fully understand the components of its architecture, deployment options, and even licensing, so you'll be able to work on projects from conception to implementation.

Following that, you'll see how to manage the core components including network and storage. New and updated features such as Live Migration, Hyper-V Replica, and High Availability will be covered in detail and you'll get a full understanding of virtual machine operation and how to achieve the most from it.

Additionally, important scenarios will be covered such as Disaster Recovery, VDI, and even the controversial Active Directory virtualization so you will be one step ahead in the market.
