It's fairly inexpensive as it's priced per CPU (not per core) on the host server you want to back up.<br />
<br />
So, a quad-processor system with four cores each is the cost as four 1 CPU quad-core Hyper-V hosts.

i currently manage 15 servers that are on win server2008 virtualised platform.<br />
<br />
i would like to minimise the time taken to perform backup which is currently done to tape.<br />
<br />
we have 2 dr sans on site and i can take snapshots but what i would like to know are there any alternatives for backup as i think the current one is too time consuming and a hassle!<br />
<br />
current routine ; arcserve<br />

backup advice

Software is any set of instructions that directs a computer to perform specific tasks or operations. Computer software consists of programs, libraries and related non-executable data (such as documentation). Computer software is non-tangible, contrasted with computer hardware, which is the physical component of computers. Software written in a machine language is known as "machine code". However, in practice, software is usually written in high-level programming languages than machine language. High-level languages are translated into machine language using a compiler or interpreter or a combination of the two.

Microsoft server applications are those applications developed specifically, but not necessarily exclusively, on the Windows Server platform. In addition to well-known products like SQL Server, Exchange, Internet Information Services (IIS), Microsoft Dynamics, Forefront, Lync and Sharepoint, they include applications like Skype, BizTalk, Hyper-V, Groove and Commerce Server. Server applications are managed with the Microsoft System Center.
