Hyper-V for VMware Administrators
- Share to:
One of the main reasons why I wanted to write this book was because I have had a lot of people asking me about Hyper-V migrations recently. Apparently, there are quite a few VMware shops that are either making the move to Hyper-V or are looking at the possibility of running multiple hypervisors. I thought that writing a book would be a way in which I could help with those sorts of projects. Before I move on, let me just say up front that I am not going to tell you that Hyper-V is superior to VMware. Conversely, I don’t believe that VMware is better than Hyper-V. Hyper-V got off to a bit of a rocky start in the Windows Server 2008 and 2008 R2 days, but today it is a very capable enterprise-class hypervisor. There are some things that Hyper-V does better than VMware, but there are other things that VMware does better than Hyper-V. VMware and Hyper-V are both excellent hypervisors, and I am not writing this book as a way of bashing VMware. The reason that I say that is to underscore the idea that I am not encouraging a migration from VMware to Hyper-V because I think that VMware is inadequate. Every organization has their own reasons for migrating, but oftentimes the real driving factor behind a migration is economics. In certain situations, Hyper-V can be much more cost effective than VMware. I am going to spend some time talking about licensing costs later on.
