NIC teaming with Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V
HP ProLiant Network Teaming Software lets your ProLiant systems running Windows Server 2008
Hyper-V take advantage of NIC teaming technology.
NIC teaming groups several physical NICs into a single logical NIC. It enhances fault tolerance by
increasing availability of a server’s network connection. Multiple network paths let you balance
network traffic for better performance.
To implement NIC teaming, see the HOWTO paper “Using HP ProLiant Network Teaming Software
with Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V or with Microsoft Window Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V”
