The latest incarnation of Windows Server includes organic support for virtualization through Microsoft’s Hyper-V, a hypervisor tightly integrated within the operating system. A personal friend of mine who is well respected in the virtualization circles of IT, Harley Stagner, has just finished authoring Pro Hyper-V, a book described by Amazon as featuring:

• How Hyper–V technologies built into Windows Server 2008 can save your organization money and make it more nimble
• What it takes to deploy Hyper–V to your servers
• The process to build, configure, and deploy virtual machines
• How to migrate physical machines to virtual machines, and virtual machines to other virtual machines
• Ideas and thoughts on disaster recovery in virtualized environments
• …and much more

The author has an offer for interested OmniNerds to get a FREE early copy in exchange for a professional review. If you have experience in the IT administration field or virtualization – this can get you on the cutting edge of Microsoft’s Hyper-V.
