Key technologies of Microsoft Windows Server 2008

Key technologies of Windows Server 2008 include Windows Hardware Error Architecture (WHEA) and Windows Server

Hyper-V CTP.

WHEA

WHEA is a generic error source discovery mechanism. It provides an infrastructure for handling hardware errors on Windows

platforms. The initial implementation of WHEA focuses on platform hardware devices, including processor, memory, cache,

and system interconnects such as PCI, PCI-X, and PCI Express. Peripheral device errors remain under the control of their

respective device drivers. WHEA includes the following benefits:

• A common hardware error record format and error handling flow

• A persistence mechanism for preserving error records

• A hardware error model based on Event Tracing for Windows (ETW)

Windows Server Hyper-V CTP

Windows Server Hyper-V CTV is a hypervisor-based software platform for running multiple guest operating systems on a single

server. Windows Server Hyper-V CTP offers a robust, scalable hypervisor-based virtualization platform allowing enterprises to

provision and manage virtual server workloads. Windows Server Hyper-V CTP is available in conjunction with Windows Server

2008 RC1 OS for 64-bit systems. Administrators desire flexibility in allocating computing resources for specific tasks.

Virtualization technologies provide this flexibility by decoupling the hardware from the workload being performed. The

Windows Server Hyper-V CTP release download and installation instructions are available on the Microsoft website:

www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2008/virtualization/install.mspx.

IMPORTANT

The release of Windows Server Hyper-V CTP is a beta release and therefore is not

recommended for production servers.
