In the week before Easter Microsoft release  Service Pack 1 for Enterprise Desktop Virtualization (Med-v) 1.0, which as you know is  "enterprise" version of Windows XP mode.

SP1 of Med-v 1.0 introduces full support to Windows 7 (both 32-bit and 64-bit) as a guest operating system in which enable Med-v and Windows Server 2008 R2 operating system for the installation of server components of Med-v.

Unlike XP Mode Med-v enables you to create, manage and update centralized virtual machines used by users to run those legacy applications that cannot run natively in Windows 7.

Hy all,

there is a news from connect...

Microsoft® Enterprise Desktop Virtualization (MED-V) enables deployment and management of Microsoft Virtual PC to address key enterprise scenarios, primarily resolving application compatibility with a new version of Windows.

Microsoft Enterprise Desktop Virtualization (MED-V) removes the barriers to Windows upgrades by resolving application incompatibility with Windows Vista or Windows 7.  MED-V delivers applications in a Virtual PC that runs a previous version of the operating system (for example, Windows XP).  And it does so in a way that is completely seamless and transparent to the user. Applications appear and operate as if they were installed on the desktop, so that users can even pin them to the task bar.  For IT administrators, MED-V helps deploy, provision, control, and support the virtual environments.

Microsoft Enterprise Desktop Virtualization is an integral tool in the Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack, a dynamic solution available to Software Assurance customers that helps reduce application deployment costs, enable delivery of applications as services, and better manage and control enterprise desktop environments. 

MED-V 1.0 SP1 will add host support for Windows 7 (32bit and 64bit) and will be released in the first quarter of calendar year 2010.
Similarly to MED-V 1.0, MED-V 1.0 SP1 will leverage Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 to provide an enterprise solution for Application compatibility, and enabling the deployment of Virtual PCs across the enterprise.

cheers

Wow all,

I am very happy to share that Windows Storage Server 2008 with the Microsoft iSCSI Software Target 3.2 is now available to all MSDN and TechNet Plus subscribers.

This Microsoft product should be offered via our OEM partners, but a version for evaluation (TechNet Plus or MSDN), is now being provided to MSDN and TechNet Plus subscribers for the first time. This opens the door for a number of interesting scenarios, especially when related to Windows Server Failover Clustering and/or Hyper-V.

The Hyper-V role enables you to create a virtualized server computing environment using a technology that is part of the Windows Server® 2008 operating system.

The Failover Clustering feature enables you to create and manage failover clusters. A failover cluster is a group of independent computers that work together to increase the availability of applications and services. The clustered servers (called nodes) are connected by physical cables and by software. If one of the cluster nodes fails, another node begins to provide service (a process known as failover). Users experience a minimum of disruptions in service.

This Microsoft’s guide shows you how to use these two technologies together to make a virtual machine highly available. You will do this by creating a simple two-node cluster and a virtual machine, and then failing over the virtual machine from one node to the other.
