It’s now early Saturday morning in Switzerland and I’m up because I had to go to university this morning and in the break I was checking my RSS feeds and saw two blog post from my Irish Microsoft MVP fellows Aidan Finn (MVP Virtual Machine) and Damian Flynn (MVP System Center Cloud & Datacenter Management) about the new Cisco Nexus 1000v for Hyper-V with Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager integration.
What is the Cisco Nexus 1000v
