Overall Satisfaction with Hyper-V
Hyper-V is used across our whole organization as well as across the organizations of our main big customers. It is obviously used for virtualizing the servers. It makes sure we can easily set up redundancy and fail-over. tI also enables us to easily backup and restore in case of DR, even to different hardware.
- using single jbods attached to several physical servers
- fail-over
- legacy OS
- snapshots
- attach USB devices
- The ROI is mainly felt when you recover from hardware failure which requires a new server.
- You also get great profit when you need several servers.
- If you use the fully licensed version you also make good returns on the OSs which don't need further licensing.
- VMWare
I have mainly experience with VMWare. Though the two are making sure to follow each other's innovations and VMWare was on the market first and therefore had a big headstart, I currently prefer Hyper-V. One big reason is since most of our customers use Windows Server, Hyper-V is already included in their OS.
