We’re proud to share that Microsoft has been named a Leader in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Server Virtualization Platforms. We believe this recognition comes at an important moment for enterprise infrastructure. The question is no longer simply which hypervisor to run. It is how to create a consistent operating model across cloud, datacenter, edge, and sovereign environments. Microsoft addresses that challenge at two levels: operational consistency through Azure and Azure Arc, and infrastructure consistency through Hyper-V.
