Server virtualization landscape is changing5
Where are we now?versus6
VMware: a little history 7VMware was founded in 1998Located in Palo Alto, California (Silicon Valley)First virtualization product (VMware Workstation) in 1999First server virtualization product (VMware GSX and ESX) in 2001Acquired by EMC in 2004About 11.200 employees
Microsoft (and HyperV): a little history 8Microsoft was founded in 1975Located in Redmond, Washington92.000 EmployeesMicrosoft is in Virtualization since 2004First product: Virtual PC from takeover of ConnectixHyper-V as first bare metal hypervisor since (Windows) 2008
Current situation9
But what’s has MS announcedNew placement policies10
But what’s has MS announcedCluster Aware Updating (CAU)11
But what’s has MS announcedHyper-V replicanot native – Add-on12
But what’s has MS announcedSMB Live MigrationHost 1Host 2SMB File ServerNo SMB support with VMwareConcern: SMB performance is not that great!Nice for SMB or less demanding environments13
But what’s has MS announcedShared nothing Live MigrationHost 1Blue NetworkingHost 2No Shared StorageNo VMware alternativeConcern: performance depends on network throughputLAN : 1GbE 93MB/sec (eff. 75%), 50GB VM 10 minutesWAN : 100MbE 9MB/sec (eff. 75%), 50GB VM 1,5 hours14

Hyper-V 3 – New Scalability featuresScalability: Support for up to 63 nodes per cluster and 4000 VM’s Up to 32 virtual CPU’s in 1 VMUp to 160 logical CPU’s in one hostUp to 1024 VM’s and 2048 virtual processors per host Max 512 GB RAM per VMMax 2TB RAM per host No more limits on Live (Storage) Migration (limited by hardware only)Live Storage Migration to SAS, iSCSI, Fiber Channel or SMB shareExtensible virtual switch (plugin model for 3rd parties)VHDX Format now supports up to 16 TB disksOfficial Support for NIC Teaming on hardware in the boxCluster Services inside VMs can run on FC or iSCSIODX Support (Offloaded Data Transfer) on storageEnhanced PowerShell integration18
Hyper-V 3 – New Availability featuresAvailability: Virtual Machine Boot Priority Priority Workloads (low, medium, high) Intelligent placing of VMs on hosts Bitlocker support on clustered disks (Encrypted Cluster Volumes) Anti-Affinity VM rules VM Health monitoring support (in VM support) In Box Maintenance Support (Cluster Aware Updating) Hyper-V Replica (High availability for single VMs on another host) New virtual ‘Fiber Channel Adapter’ 4 virtual FC cards can be attached to 1 physical card 2 virtual FC cards in 1 VM can point to 2 different physical cards Share Nothing Migration (move VM from stand alone host 1 to host 2)19
Wow!Apparently .Steve had a lot of catching up to do 20

It’s not all about features, TCO/ROI matters41
VMware more expensive?Basic consolidation: 3 hosts, no SAN44
VMware more expensive?No planned downtime: 3 hosts, with aVSASAN45
What’s in it for me?46
ConclusionSo are we all going to migrate to Microsoft?HyperV 3 improvements Scalability: huge Availability: impressiveUnique features: Share nothing Migration Hyper-V Replica SMB supportBut is it enough to compete?Scalability: same as othersAvailability: same as othersAnd. It’s still not here yet And. How about the cloud?Hyper-V 3 is vSphere 4 ( )But we’re already waiting for vSphere 6!We think: SMB market will be very interested in Hyper-V3Competition is good for business47
