Once you have updated the Windows Server® 2008 operating system with the Hyper-V™ technology release bits and enabled the Hyper-V role, you are ready to run virtual machines (VMs) on your server, now called a virtualization server (also called a “host”).
How does this change your security? Not much. Hyper-V is designed to be fairly transparent. You secure your VMs the same way that you secure physical machines. For example, if you run antivirus software on the physical machine, run it on the VM (not the host). If you segment the physical server to a particular network, do the same to the VM.

The hypervisor performs critical tasks such as memory management and ensures security isolation between the host OS and the different virtualized OSs. In Hyper-V , the environment in which the host OS or a virtual OS runs is known as a partition. You could also define a partition as a basic unit of isolation.
