Overall Satisfaction with Hyper-V
We chose Hyper-V to create our virtual infrastructure for our on premise servers. Our current hardware was at end of life and had the opportunity to upgrade to newer hardware and have enough space for more servers.
- Virtual Environment
- Scale-ability
- Ease of use
- None that I have noticed.
- Hardware Costs
- Support Costs
- Future needs
Both products are similar but Hyper-V was included in our licensing with Microsoft.
