The dynamic hardware partitioning functionality available in Windows Server 2008 provides the ability to actively add memory, processor and I/O devices while the system is running for enhanced scalability with minimal operational outage, improving availability. In addition, the functionality also improves reliability, availability and serviceability (RAS) by allowing hot replace on systems to avoid scheduled maintenance downtime.
Dynamic Hardware Partitioning allows partitioning of multiple operating environments on a single physical server, while minimizing critical business application downtime caused by hardware faults. Automated fault handling combined with dynamic reconfiguration of resources offers increased availability with minimal application disruption - mainframe-class RAS without the high cost.
