Introduction

A virtual server isn’t of any use without any servers deployed on it. Deployment of servers can be done by using the Virtual Server Migration Toolkit, but also by creating a virtual server (virtual hardware) and installing an operating system on it.

Before installing the guest operating system onto the virtual hardware, you need to make the correct decisions about the (virtual) hardware setup. This contains selecting the correct network, choosing the correct disk and controller type. Setting this correctly will give you a fast and flexible (virtual) server.
