Companies of all sizes worldwide are looking to virtualization to change the way data centers operate. Server consolidation, energy efficiency, simpler management, and deployment and increased capacity are all tangible benefits to be gained from a move to virtual servers and virtually hosted services. Microsoft has introduced Hyper-V, a Hypervisor-based virtualization platform integrated with the operating system, allowing you to dynamically add physical and virtual resources into your data center with minimal pain. In Pro Hyper-V, author Harley Stagner takes a comprehensive approach to acquiring, deploying, using, and troubleshooting Microsoft's answer to virtualization on the Windows Server platform. Learn from a true virtualization guru all you need to know about deploying virtual machines, managing your library of VMs in your enterprise, recovering gracefully from failure scenarios, and migrating existing physical machines to virtual hardware.

Harley Stagner graduated from ECPI Technical College with a bachelor's degree in management information systems and later graduated from Strayer University with an master's degree in business management. His industry certifications include MCSE on Windows Server 2000 and 2003, VMware Certified Professional (VCP), and Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist (MCTS) in Windows Server Virtualization. He is a seasoned IT professional who enjoys sharing his server virtualization experience through his writing. He has published many virtualization articles for SearchSystemsChannel.com, SearchServerVirtualization.com, SearchVMware.com, SearchOpenSource.com, and SearchStorage.com. He also maintains his own blogs at HarleyStagner.com and SearchMarked.com.
