Virtualization WMI Provider (Windows)

Switch View

Purpose

Hyper-V provides a scalable, reliable, and highly available virtualized server computing environment. It enables one or more guest operating systems to run concurrently on a single physical computer. Key uses for virtual machine technology include the following:

Server consolidation
Consolidation of development and testing environments
Simplified disaster recovery

Run-Time Requirements

Virtualization services require a x64-based system that supports hardware-assisted virtualization running Hyper-V. Programs that interact with the WMI interfaces however, can run remotely on any system that supports WMI.
