Hyper-V PK VMware performance in Windows Server 2012

In recent years, server virtualization has evolved rapidly from budding technology to mature IT capabilities. In the process of evolution, enterprises of all sizes begin to take advantage of their powerful functions to meet the ever-changing business needs. Organizations can control and reduce costs by virtualizing workloads, while increasing the scalability, flexibility, and coverage of IT systems. But as evolution evolves, we are also gradually realizing that virtualization alone does not allow organizations to build or leverage cloud services, while cloud services are growing and playing an increasingly important role in business work. With Hyper-V, Microsoft has been leading the way in dramatically improving virtualization technology. Hyper-V was originally introduced in Windows Server 2008 and then gradually expanded and enhanced in Windows Server 2008 R2, which provides an organization with a tool to consolidate multiple server roles into different virtual machines running on a single physical host. Maximize the investment in server hardware. Organizations can also use Hyper-V to efficiently run multiple operating systems, including operating systems other than Windows, such as Linux, which can run concurrently on a single server and take advantage of 64-bit powerful computing power.

Why do you choose Hyper-V?

Virtualization technology can help customers reduce costs and provide greater flexibility and economic benefits. Both as a stand-alone product and as an integral part of Windows Server, Hyper-V is today's leading virtualization platform and offers the opportunity to migrate to cloud computing (Cloud Computing).

With Hyper-V, it is now easier for organizations to take advantage of virtualization, and it allows them to consolidate multiple server roles into different virtual machines running on a single physical machine, maximizing the investment in server hardware. Customers can use Hyper-V to run Windows, Linux, and many other operating systems in parallel on a single server. Windows Server 2012 and more features achieve greater scalability, and further enhance the built-in reliability mechanism, the advantages are more obvious.

Whether applied to a data center, a desktop system, or a current cloud service, the Microsoft virtualization platform based on Hyper-V and management tools has an obvious competitive advantage, allowing you to get a higher return on your investment.

The following table shows the results of the comparison between Windows Server 2012hyper-v and VMware vsphere 5.1 Enterprise Plus, the latest version of VMware licensed by the CPU.

Since the launch of Vsphere 5.0, VMware has claimed to have increased the VM to support 32 virtual processors, but this is the exclusive enterprise Plus version of vsphere functionality, not ESXi 5.0, vsphere 5.0 Essentials, E Ssentialsplus, Standard or Enterprise editions, all of which limit 8 virtual processors per virtual machine. Customers will find that the latter does not have this limitation compared to Hyper-V in Windows Server 2012. Customers can freely perform the most demanding workloads on Hyper-V without additional cost or expensive version upgrades.

The table also shows that Windows Server Hyper-V and vsphere 5.1 Enterprise Plus both provide up to 1 TB of memory to each virtual machine, but the creation of this size of virtual machines, you must carefully consider the Vsphere 5.1 vram (virtual Quasi-machine memory) authorization.
