A Virtual Hard Disk (VHD) is a file format that supports storing of complete contents and structure representing a hard disk. Microsoft Virtual Hard Disk (VHD) specifies a virtual machine hard disk that can reside on a native host file system encapsulated within a single file.
By providing a uniform product support system, the VHD format provides more seamless manageability, security, reliability and cost-efficiency for customers. The technology applies to both server and client hardware applications.
Virtual machine technology allows multiple operating systems to run concurrently on a single machine, so the technology can be used for hardware consolidation. Another key application of the virtual hard disk is in test and development environments, where its features such as faster provisioning, re-usability, and ability to be hardware agonistic provide a more seamless environment. The preconfigured VHD enables customers to evaluate applications in an encapsulated computing environment without affecting the rest of the system.
Virtual machines utilize the Windows host operating systems WHQL driver set, ensuring robust and stable device support and broad device compatibility. Microsoft extensively tests Virtual Server and Hyper-V in conjunction with Windows Server operating systems and Microsoft server applications. As a result, the VHDs can be used with a consistent version of Windows Server 2003 R2 or Windows Server 2008 as the base operating system.
Microsoft has launched VHD Test Drive Program to enable Microsoft and partners to distribute VHD images that contain Microsoft software and partner software for enhanced functionality and manageability.
