This is the next stage in the ongoing battle for primacy in virtualization hypervisors.
This time though, this round goes to Microsoft for Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2012 which uses the brand new Hyper-v 3.0.
Folks, parity in hypervisors has been achieved by Hyper-V Server 2012!
Moreover, Microsoft has brought several new HA features into Hyper-v including the following:
- Hyper-V Replica – The Game Changer http://www.thomasmaurer.ch/2012/07/hyper-v-replica-the-game-changer/
- Hyper-V Shared Nothing Live Migration In Windows Server 2012– VM Mobility Rules http://workinghardinit.wordpress.com/2012/06/29/hyper-v-shared-nothing-live-migration-in-windows-server-2012-vm-mobility-rules/
This battle is ongoing, as VMware’s eponymous product is still being improved and should give Microsoft a run for their money with its next release.
