Overall Satisfaction with Hyper-V

We use Hyper-V across the entire organization. Everything that requires a server is virtualized, and Hyper-V makes it easy to configure a fault-tolerant cluster for a very low price. With replication, we also don’t worry as much about downtime or data loss.
  • Easy to configure.
  • Free with every copy of Windows Server
  • Dynamically adjustable memory on the VMs
  • Clustering can be tricky to configure
  • Replication sometimes fails and needs to be reconfigured.
  • Easy to lose track of VMs created.
  • Built-in backup tools inadequate.
  • Minimized hardware costs
  • Maximized availability
Great for small to medium-sized offices with modest needs. Once you get to large businesses, managing and configuring your VMs requires dedicated staff.
