  • With Hyper-V implementing new software or rules on a test, beds take fewer resources and time which is a great bonus.
  • Virtual SAN management and Virtual Switch management make it easy to manage network and storage options.
  • Editing the disk option made us resize disks on the fly and saved us maintenance, production time, and costs.

  • Because Hyper-V licenses were essentially free, that allowed us to have multiple Hyper-V-based hosts for our business needs.
  • Ease of use - the people who manage Hyper-V were able to do so very quickly because of the ease of use of the product.

  • Flexible, able to handle multiple workloads.
  • It has compatibility with Windows.
  • Cost of licensing the product in comparison to other alternatives.
  • Setup is sometimes confusing and VMware knowledge does not always translate well.

  • It is completely worthwhile because the license of Windows Server includes the possibility of installing two virtual machines.
  • Makes it possible to maximize the use of the owned physical resources.
  • Having separate virtual machines with different services makes the infrastructure more scalable.
  • If you need more than 2 virtual servers the costs grow a lot.

  • Hyper-V has allowed us to take a small IT room and have it server up dozens of servers despite the lack of space available for hardware.
  • Since it is basically free, any return from its use is a positive return on investment and the lessened power usage is a great way to show this when considering Hyper-v.
  • We have had many instances of host machines blue screening or rebooting on their own and the clustering capability of Hyper-V, when used with Windows systems, has allowed these issues to be invisible to users.
