Hyper-V Planning and Deployment Guide

artduane — Sat, 09 May 2009 19:57:00 GMT

The Hyper-V Planning and Deployment Guide is intended to help you understand the considerations you should take into account when planning to deploy Hyper-V™, and to provide installation and configuration details that will help you deploy Hyper-V.

Overview of Hyper-V
Before You Install Hyper-V
Installing Hyper-V
Configuring Virtual Networks
Implementing Disks and Storage
Appendix A: Example Authorization Manager Tasks and Operations
Appendix B: Authorization Manager Terminology

Hyper-V enables you to create a virtualized server computing environment using a technology that is part of Windows Server® 2008. You can use a virtualized computing environment to improve the efficiency of your computing resources by utilizing more of your hardware resources. This is possible because you use Hyper-V to create and manage virtual machines and their resources. Each virtual machine is a virtualized computer system that operates in an isolated execution environment. This allows you to run multiple operating systems simultaneously on one physical computer.

Who will be interested in this role?
Hyper-V can be useful to you if you are:

An IT administrator, planner, or designer.
An IT architect responsible for computer management and security throughout your organization.
An IT operations manager who is looking for ways to reduce the total cost of ownership of their server infrastructure, in terms of both power costs and management costs.
A software developer or tester who is looking for ways to increase productivity by reducing the time it takes to build and configure a server for development or test use.

Windows 7 Developer Guide - MSDN Code Gallery

artduane — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 15:16:00 GMT

This guide summarizes the key developer advances in each of the following three areas:

Solid Foundation

Great user experiences start with a solid foundation. Windows 7 delivers a solid development platform and innovative tools that give you more options, increased application compatibility, better performance, and sophisticated document support. This results in a simple, more reliable environment for your applications and a familiar, intuitive one for your users. We've kept the user interface consistent, predictable and easy to use, while adding multi-touch support, scrolling, and other intuitive interaction features that take advantage of the latest PC and mobile device capabilities. With Windows 7, developers have the power to build the right user experiences for their applications.

Richer Application Experiences

Windows 7 enables developers to build applications today that will run on the PCs of tomorrow. Service-enabled software and devices, such as mobile phones, portable media players, and digital cameras, demand constant connectivity and advanced applications. Windows 7 delivers a platform for both, making it easy for developers to take advantage of the functionality and features of next generation hardware, while ensuring that users are always on, and always connected.

The Best of Windows and the Web

With Windows 7, it's easy to get connected and stay connected. Windows networking offers developers options for better caching and sharing of data to improve network performance. Network diagnostics in Windows 7 give developers relevant information for monitoring network issues. Internet Explorer™ 8 is the essential platform for building fast, rich Web experiences. Whether the goal is to connect devices, connect to a network, or connect to the Internet, Windows 7 provides an enhanced platform.
