PerformancePoint Server SP2: Hyper-V is supported
It is good to know that PerformancePoint Server (PPS) Service Pack 2 will support Hyper-V. The news is located on a Microsoft server software and supported virtualization environment list.
This article discusses the support policy for running Microsoft server software in the following supported virtualization environments:
The current economic situation demands that we look for ways to save money, and consolidating your server hardware by using Hyper-V is one that must be evaluated. Consider the Sporton Lab case study where it reduces hardware requirements by a 1-7 ratio to reduce data center costs.
Consider the cost savings that Microsoft experienced (talked about here).
Hyper-V documentation
For now, consider the following places for documentation and prepare for PPS to be compatible !!!
- BizTalk has some very comprehensive documentation here.
- Robert Hoover, who writes about Project Server, has prepared a Hyper-V guide white paper and a planning article with useful recommendations and links.
- When you're ready to create some guest operating systems, see Hyper-V Getting Started Guide . It contains the following sections.
- Requirements for Hyper-V
- Step 1: Install Hyper-V
- Step 2: Create and set up a virtual machine
- Step 3: Install the operating system and integration services
- Step 4: Configuring virtual networks
I look forward to providing some test scenario-driven documentation.
