Guidelines for Implementing windows Hyper-V Server
Make
sure that the physical server is hardware compliant.
Hyper-V requires specific hardware on the server, for example
64-bit processors such as Intel VT or AMD-V
Hardware-assisted virtualization-enabled BIOS
Make sure that you install the appropriate operating system.
The Hyper-V server role can be installed on any 64-bit version of
Windows Server 2008.
For better performance, implement the Hyper-V server role on a Server
Core installation.
One of the concerns about Hyper-V is its performance.
For domain administration capabilities, make sure that the server is
joined to a domain.
If you want the Hyper-V virtualization server to take advantage of
domain administration and management capabilities, ensure that it is a
member of a domain. However, if you do not want to secure the server,
you can choose to keep it as a stand-alone server.
