WindowsITPro heeft een eerdere vergelijking tussen Microsoft Hyper-V en VMware ESX herhaald.
Inhoudelijk voegt het artikel niet echter veel toe aan de informatie die al breed bekend is. De eindconclusie is als volgt geformuleerd:
At this point, for midsized-to-large business and enterprises, the more manageable ESX Server is the better choice, particularly if you want to support a mix of Windows and Linux guests. Remote management for Hyper-V is still too problematic. However, Hyper-V is a good choice for smaller businesses running Server 2008 that primarily want to virtualize Windows servers. The product’s inclusion with Windows makes it simpler to use and adopt: You don’t need to learn the unfamiliar commands necessary to deal with ESX Server’s Linux-based management console. However, because of the aforementioned remote-management difficulties, I can’t recommend Hyper-V on Server Core at this time. That being said, running Hyper-V on a full Server 2008 installation works well.
