Microsoft Hyper V enables you to create a virtualized server computing environment and manage virtual machines and their resources.

 

SoftNAS can be deployed within the Microsoft Hyper-V and Windows Server virtualization environment to provide NAS storage capabilities for Windows, at a fraction of the cost of traditional, proprietary NAS appliances. You can deploy SoftNAS in either Hyper-V Server 2008 R2  or Hyper-V Server 2012.
