Hypervisor versus Hypervisor
Are you virtualised? I often feel I could do with an internal Hypervisor to squash more time into the day. But that’s another story.
In today’s infrastructure environment the benefits of virtualisation can be huge. The rate of change in hardware throughput has outstripped the needs of many business applications. What used to need a mid-range system is often covered by an entry level system these days.
That means spare ‘grunt’! Which in turn has led to the rise and rise of virtualisation. It makes sense to maximise the use of that valuable hardware.
And that leads us to the array of choices out there. It’s a growing list. If you can run on Linux, IBM i, or AIX, then IBM’s PowerVM is well worth looking at. But have you ever wondered what’s best for Windows, especially when it comes to the two big choices in HyperV and VMware?
The other day I was trawling through some IT blogs and came across the excellent blogs from Mitch Garvis, http://garvis.ca/ That led me to a head-to-head battle comparing VMware and HyperV. Fantastic!
Two experts go through the key features, first of each product individually, then a head-to-head comparison. For VMware there is Sean MacArthur, and for HyperV Mitch Garvis.
This is a great series. Very interesting material and I learnt plenty about each product.
