Lots of Windows Server “8” information

This has been a busy week for Microsoft talking about Windows Server “8” – so I wanted to take a moment to call some interesting information to your attention.

• The new Windows Server “8” Beta Hyper-V Component Architecture poster is now available from the Microsoft Download Center.
  
  
  
• Information about Hyper-V Replica is coming out on the Windows Virtualization team blog:

• John Howard has been doing a great series of posts talking about the use of SR-IOV in Hyper-V in Windows Server “8”.  You can start reading about it here:
  Everything you wanted to know about SR-IOV in Hyper-V. Part 1
  
  
• The Windows Server blog has a great post talking about a bunch of the new technology coming for Windows File Shares (including the fact that we now support running virtual machines that are stored on Windows file shares):
  Windows Server “8” – Taking Server Application Storage to Windows File Shares

And of course – there is much more to come!
