Hyper-V is Microsoft's native hardware virtualization platform, built into Windows Server and Windows 10/11 Pro editions, that allows users to create and run multiple virtual machines on a single physical host. It is used by IT administrators and developers for server consolidation, testing software across different operating systems, and running isolated development environments. As a type-1 hypervisor, it runs directly on hardware, competing with alternatives like VMware ESXi and offering integration with other Microsoft management tools like System Center.
