Is Hyper-V Server 2008 working on Intel's Atom platform
- by Josip Medved
Did anybody try to install Hyper-V on Intel Atom platform?
Hyper-V requires:
x64 compatible processor with Intel VT or AMD-V technology enabled
Hardware Data Execution Prevention (DEP)
It seems that both requirements are satisfied with Atom as processor. However, I wonder whether there is some blocking issue (e.g. BIOS that does not support it) since all Atom motherboards I checked had quite old north/south-bridge.
My intentions are to run two low-requirements virtual machines (embedded Linux), so performance should not be an issue.
