So at the minute I’m researching clustering to help load balance our servers, and also virtualisation to create more efficient servers. So I come across Hyper-V. Now Hyper-V does both of these at the same time with its hands tied behind its back. Next, the tag line as such…. ‘Utilise your old servers and bring them back to life with Hyper-V’ – OK, so that may be a made up tag line but this stuff is claiming the same kind of stuff.
So how many ‘old’ servers have 64-bit processing and can handle Server 2008? The latter, probably a lot of them. But 64-bit processing? Out of our servers here, only 1 is capable of 64-bit processing. So, my point is this – How can anyone claim to utilise old hardware when the software they are pushing simply doesn’t support it?
