Step by Step Video Training for Building Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 Failover Cluster for Microsoft Hyper-V High Availability with Cluster Shared Volumes, Pass-Through Disk and Managing Hyper-V VMs from Windows Server Failover Cluster Manager snap-in
Being a Microsoft Exchange Server Solution Architect and MVP, we all can see the Hyper-V as product getting mature day by day, and its fast growing usage at every level of business sector, and as initially Hyper-V introduced himself as a Hypervisor for Testing / RnD VM based Servers, and a Virtualization Layer for its competitors, but with the recent fast growth of the product, and changes the people perception, now Microsoft Hyper-V is being used as a Production Hypervisor, and many Application and Systems Developers started making their products to run over Hyper-V, which is indeed a success of Hyper-V in the todays Information Technology world.
As long as Microsoft Exchange Server is concerned, so I’m pleased to inform you that Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 is officially supported over Microsoft Hyper-V, and for information, please read my below posts:
