Hyper-V virtualization in Windows Server and Windows

Hyper-V is a virtualization platform developed by Microsoft, integrated into Windows Server and available as an optional feature in certain editions of Windows. It enables users to create and run virtual machines (VMs) on a physical computer, allowing multiple operating systems to run concurrently on a single hardware system.

This technology is used by IT professionals, developers, and businesses to consolidate servers, test software in isolated environments, and manage diverse operating systems efficiently. It provides tools for virtual machine management, networking, and storage, supporting a range of guest operating systems including Windows and Linux distributions.
