Virtualization is no longer just a question of which hypervisor to run. It is a decision about how the business will operate across cloud, datacenter, and edge for years to come. That is the approach behind Azure Local, Windows Server Hyper-V, and Azure Arc: a holistic virtualization foundation, wherever workloads run. And today, Microsoft has been named a Leader in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Server Virtualization Platforms. We believe this recognition reflects our approach to virtualization: choice without fragmentation.
