Thank you, what would you recommend with the memory, they have requested 128 GB of memory for the VM. Could the host server survive with 4gb of memory (giving 4gb to the host and 124gb to the vm) or to assign as Mahesh mentioned giving 8gb.

HYPER-V Host capactiy - VM capacity (Windows Server 2012)<br />
<br />
I have a Host Server with 16 Cores- 32 processors, 128GB Memory and 1TB Storage. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
I have a request for a new VM to be created on this server with the exact same spec as the host has. &nbsp;There will be only 1 vm on this server.<br />
<br />
Realistically what is the most that I can allocate to the new vm, taking into account the requirements of the host server ie. cores, memory, checkpoint storage, harddrive etc.<br />

Thank you

Hyper-V - resources allocation

Virtualization is the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including (but not limited to) a virtual computer hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or computer network resources. Virtualization is usually the creation of a system that executes separate from the underlying hardware resources, or the creation of an entire desktop for systems located elsewhere, similar to thin clients.

Virtualization

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.

Storage

Hyper-V is a native hypervisor; it can create virtual machines on x86-64 systems and supersedes Windows Virtual PC as the hardware virtualization component of the client editions of Windows NT. A server computer running Hyper-V can be configured to expose individual virtual machines to one or more networks. Hyper-V Server supports remote access via Remote Desktop Connection. Administration and configuration of the host OS and the guest virtual machines is generally done over the network.
