NEWS: Microsoft web sites hosted on Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V

image Both TechNet & MSDN are now hosted completely on Hyper-V, Microsoft’s "Hypervisor" technology for Server Virtualization. 

These are two of Microsoft’s largest Internet properties:

  • Technet receives 1 million hits daily
  • MSDN receives 3 million hits daily

We believe this is a great demonstration of the scalability, performance and reliability of Hyper-V. 

Below is a link to a whitepaper on the migration implementation:
