The good:
  • Easy to install
  • Compatible with a huge range of servers and I/O adapter cards
  • A simple option for organisations wanting to test server virtualisation
The bad:
  • VMs could be affected by software problems with the host Windows server
  • All VMs must be temporarily halted if host server needs a reboot following patching
  • Need to buy extra software to manage Hyper-V server farms
  • Requires a 64-bit Intel VT- or AMD-V-compatible CPU
The bottomline:

Microsoft's Hyper-V is a solid virtualisation platform that's compatible with a wide range of modern server hardware.
