Real-time Protection for Hyper-V

Moving resources to virtual platforms has allowed IT departments to
consolidate and better utilize resources. However, protecting virtual
machines is not always as simple as backing up the virtual disk files
and special care must be taken. The three primary solution categories
are backup, high availability and disaster recovery solutions. Learn

The changes are as follows:

A modern 64-bit CPU is now required. Virtual hardware improvements include
support for 64 GB of virtual memory, multi-monitor support, an HD audio device,
USB 3.0, Bluetooth devices shared with the host, and Virtual Intel VT-X/EPT or
AMD-V/RVI CPU features. The GUI was enhanced. Virtual machines can now be shared
with remote users, including AutoStart. Various other improvements were made.

Project description:

VMware allows you to run 'virtual machines' inside a Linux host. It is not an
emulator. It provides a virtual computer within the host which can boot
whichever OS you decide to put on the filesystem image that is used as a
harddrive. It will run DOS 6.22, Win 3.1, Win9x, WinNT/2000/XP/2003, Linux,
Novell, and more. The only main requirement is a 400 MHz or better machine,
along with lots of RAM (128M minimum, 256M recommended).
