There are many benefits to Virtualization, and Hyper-V is no exception. By utilizing Hyper-V, you save money on hardware costs, reduced utility consumption, and licensing fees for online services you can now run in-house. Hyper-V runs on Windows OS, Windows Server, or as a stand-alone product. Deployments of Hyper-V allow you to not only deploy mini-servers from a large server, you can also create clusters of your existing hardware. This also helps reduce the overall cost of IT concerns, as it gives you a chance to scale up slowly. Businesses with multiple locations can benefit from a failover deployment, where both locations stay in sync, mirroring the same machine, keeping your entire company on the same page.
