Updated Enterprise hypervisor comparison

Erik Scholten — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 21:03:49 +0000

During the last few years we published several Enterprise Hypervisor comparisons and we got very positive comments and feedback on it. With the release of vSphere 5, XenServer 6 and a service pack for Hyper-V it was time for an update. It very interesting to see how some of the products have improved over the [...]

VMware is still the best!

Alex Muetstege — Thu, 14 Apr 2011 10:38:53 +0000

Of course we all knew that already Paul Venezia posted an in depth article on Infoworld where he compares the four main server virtualization software competitors on a selection of criteria. Now, you can nit-pick on the measurements he made or the criteria he has chosen, but in general I think it’s a solid test [...]

New Enterprise Hypervisor comparison

Erik Scholten — Mon, 02 Aug 2010 14:54:10 +0000

Last year we published an Enterprise Hypervisor comparison and we got very positive comments and feedback on it. During the last few weeks I received many update requests so I decided to update the old hypervisor comparison but this time I changed the setup a bit. Changes: No beta or pre-release versions are used. [...]

Oracle VM, things they do not tell

Edwin Weijdema — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 07:00:10 +0000

Last week a colleague, who sells applications running on an Oracle Database, had some questions regarding Oracle and running it in a Virtual Machine (VM) on top of a VMware infrastructure with a customer. 1) How to license Oracle in a virtual environment? I pointed him to an article about licensing the Oracle software in [...]

The real value of Project VRC

Erik Scholten — Wed, 30 Dec 2009 06:48:50 +0000

About two weeks ago I attended a session at the VMware User Group meeting here in the Netherlands about Project VRC. After the presentation I asked myself: ‘What is the value of this project?‘. For you who don’t know what Project VRC is: “Project Virtual Reality Check (VRC) is a joint venture of Log•in Consultants [...]

Hyper-V R2 vs vSphere: A feature comparison

Erik Scholten — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 06:58:54 +0000

At the end of May of this year we wrote a article concerning Hypervisor comparisons and we got a lot of positive feedback on it. The downside to that is that people want an update as soon as one of the companies launches a new version of its product, and who can blame them. However [...]

Project VRC: Clock drift and test results

Anne Jan Elsinga — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 13:54:04 +0000

Project Virtual Reality Check finally posted a new document about previous results and possible clock drift when using the “Login Virtual Session Indexer (VSI)”. Previous test setups and results didn’t take into account how different hypervisors handle passing time. In my opinion this is a serious setback to Project VRC which is considered an institute [...]

Erik Scholten — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 08:49:23 +0000

I was checking out the news and was checking out the competition on Microsoft’s Virtualization Team Blog and ran into some interesting news. Microsoft just announced that their Windows Server 2008 R2 and Microsoft hyper-V Server 2008 R2 have been released to manufacturing. I guess my ‘Microsoft-informant’ was right, Microsoft’s intention is to release Windows [...]

Free Hyper-V training from Microsoft

Anne Jan Elsinga — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 16:30:10 +0000

I use TWeetDeck on my laptop to follow the news concerning virtualization. vSphere, Hyper-V and Xen have their own column. It’s because of these queries I noticed a tweet from @ilijabrajkovic about a free Hyper-V training from Microsoft. Microsoft is giving away a free Hyper-V training. All you have to do is to log in [...]
