编者：进入大学后，时间非常紧，事情也挺多，接触电脑的时间少了，但是CB这边也不能丢下，老大允许我发一些时效性不是很强的文章，于是开始利用空闲时间翻译长篇，以后将不定期的为大家贡献中英对照的译稿，这样做一是方便大家指出我翻译中的不当之处，一是让大家更好地领略原版文章的风采，这只是一个开始。
此文的下半部分将在国庆假期之后奉上。在此期间欢迎各位英语爱好者向CB投递您自己的翻译稿件，我们将择优刊发。

Windows Server 虚拟技术前瞻

Microsoft this week shipped the Release Candidate 0 (RC0, and no I don't understand the naming convention either) version of Windows Server 2008, allowing customers to get their hands on near-final code of the upcoming OS for the first time. Windows Server 2008 RC0 doesn't differ much from a functional perspective from the previous release, a June 2007 Community Technical Preview (CTP) release (see my Windows Server 2008: Need to Know showcase for more information). But it does come with one major new feature: The first public pre-release version of Windows Server Virtualization (WSV), codenamed Viridian.

本周微软发布了Windows Server 2008 的 RC0版本（我也不知道命名规则）（译者注：有点像腾讯哦），第一次允许用户接近即将到来的操作系统的快要完工的代码。2008 RC0与上一个发行版，也就是2007年6月的CTP（社区技术预览版）相比，在功能展望这方面区别不是很大。但是他带来了一个主要的全新功能：这是研发代号为Viridian的Windows Server 虚拟技术（WSV，Windows Server Virtualization ）的初次亮相。

A look at Microsoft's virtualization technologies
展望微软的虚拟化技术

If you're not familiar with Viridian, it's helpful to understand where Microsoft's virtualization solutions stand today. Currently, Microsoft offers a free server product called Virtual Server (and an accompanying free desktop product, Virtual PC) that provide traditional (i.e. user mode) virtualization environments. Virtual Server could very well be the pinnacle of this type of technology, at least from Microsoft, given that it will be obsolete as soon as the more performant, maintainable, and efficient WSV arrives next year. For those looking ahead to this future, Virtual Server's Virtual Hard Drive- (VHD-) based virtual machines will work fine--if not quite a bit better-if and when you later upgrade to Windows 2008 with WSV.

假如你不熟悉Viridian，了解一下微软现在提供的的虚拟化解决方案会对你有所帮助。现在，微软提供一个免费的服务器产品，名叫 Virtual Server（下简称VS）（附带一个免费的桌面产品，Virtual
PC），他们提供一个传统的虚拟化环境（比如用户模式）。在这类技术方面，VS很轻易地占据了顶尖位置，不过至少从微软的角度来说，等到明年更高性能、更易管理、更有效率的WSV新鲜出炉的时候，VS就会变成明日黄花。对于想要向前看的人们，假如从现有环境升级到带有WSV的Windows Server 2008，VS之中基于虚拟硬盘驱动器（VHD）的虚拟机还会照常工作——没准还会表现得更好一点。

On the management side, Microsoft offers Virtual Machine Manager, an enterprise-class virtual machine management solution that's currently aimed at Virtual Server customers but will be updated for WSV once that technology becomes available. VMM extends the basic capabilities of Virtual Server management, which is generally designed for managing the virtual machines on a single physical server, into a more scalable solution. VMM offers centralized virtual machine management across hundreds or thousands of physical machines, and can handle thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of virtual machines.

在管理方面，微软提供虚拟机管理器（Virtual Machine Manager），这是一个企业级别的虚拟机管理解决方案，面向VS使用者，而当技术条件成熟，就会被更新到WSV里面。VMM对虚拟服务器管理系统的基本能力进行了扩展，上述系统为了在一个单独的物理服务器上管理虚拟机而设计，而VMM将更进一步。VMM提供对多个——成百上千个——物理服务器的虚拟机集中管理的能力，这样他就可以控制数以千计，乃至数以百万计的虚拟机。

VMM automates many crucial tasks. For example, virtual machines that are running out of resources on one physical machine can be automatically relocated to new hardware with minimal disruption and end user transparency. VMM also provides for physical to virtual (P2V) conversions, as well as virtual to virtual (V2V) conversions of VMware virtual machines to Microsoft virtual machines. (And say what you will, but that last feature should prove quite popular.)

VMM让许多重要的工作自动完成。比如，在一台物理机器上运行的虚拟机，假如出现了资源溢出的情况，就会被重新定位到另一台拥有空闲资源的，且对最终用户透明的机器上去。VMM还提供物理机到虚拟机的转换（P2V），以及从VMWare虚拟机到VPC虚拟机的转换，也就是虚拟机到虚拟机（V2V）。（不管你会怎么想
