I was recently asked to write an article that presents the case for Microsoft’s Hyper-V. The article, Virtualization Face-Off: The Case for Hyper-V, includes some considerations that I believe will help the success of Hyper-V. From the introduction:
It’s not always easy to defend an underdog, especially when they’re going up against the might of a large corporation that dominates its marketplace. And it’s not often that Microsoft is considered the underdog. Microsoft’s upcoming Hyper-V and associated management tools will take on VMware and the rest of the market and in doing so will very likely change users’ expectations for virtualization products.
Of course, this is bound to be a heated topic. Feel free to voice your questions and comments here.
