Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008 R2 Competing with VMWare

2009-08-04T18:38:57Z

The playing field seems to be leveling out with comparisons of Microsoft’s Virtualization technologies and VMWare. I recently spent a lot of time comparing the two in preparation for some Virtualization events that I am presenting; not to mention getting up to speed on our R2 offerings since it RTM’d a couple weeks ago. I also have been involved in re-cording the “Ultimate Sales Guide for Virtualization” more information will be coming, once I get those edited.

Here is an example straight from the VMWare website:

“Microsoft attempted to follow VMware’s lead to reduce the attack surface of its virtualization platform by offering Windows Server Core (a subset of Windows Server 2008) as an alternative parent partition to a full Windows Server 2008 install. However, the disk footprint of Server Core in its virtualization role is still approximately 2.6 gigabytes (GB). Until Microsoft changes its virtualization architecture to remove its dependency on Windows, it will remain large and vulnerable to Windows patches, updates, and security breaches. All of the proprietary Xen-based offerings, such as those from Citrix, Oracle, Red Hat, Novell, Virtual Iron, etc., face similar issues by relying upon general purpose Linux as a core part of their virtualization architectures.”

Sounds compelling right, well what about Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008 R2??? Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008 R2 is a stand-alone product that provides a simplified, reliable, cost-effective and optimized virtualization solution that helps enable organizations to improve server utilization and reduce costs. And by the way with this new version of Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008 R2 you get Clustering and Live Migration included; all for the low price of Free

The reality is we are competing head-to-head with VMWare, and there are misrepresentations of what we at Microsoft are capable of doing in the Virtualization space. I encourage everybody to do their homework when comparing features and functionalities. There are a couple features from VMWare that are pretty cool, and if the customer truly needs that functionality then it is the right fit. Realize that with their new “V-Sphere 4.0” structure that these features are all being grouped together in Enterprise Pro, as Enterprise will be going away by the end of the year.

I have had access to some great information to “Clear” the muddy water, and was hoping they would be made publically available. Recently the competitive team within Microsoft released a comprehensive site to give comparisons with VMWare.

Check out the website for more great information and dispelling of the myths. Great discussion points, case studies, .pdf’s, PowerPoint Deck, and check out the video’s.

Here is a great comparison from the Springboard series that helps with the discussion around adopting Windows 7. Are your customers asking you WHY move to Windows 7, this really opens up what we call the “Business Value” discussion. It is not about cool features like “Aero flip3D” although cool, not a compelling Business Value discussion. On the other hand here is a great list of talking points and comparisons for things like – Remote Access, Security, Compliance, and Management.

FY09 completed – Here is to FY10

2009-06-30T22:54:57Z

Many of you know Microsoft’s fiscal calendar is July 01 – June 30. Hopefully many of you took advantage of the offers for the end of “Fiscal” year push. We also had some great testing vouchers that expire today. So what does FY10 hold? Great question, that is what July is usually about. This is when we make plans for the fiscal year. I know there are some changes coming around the Partner Program and encourage every partner to attend WPC in New Orleans. If you are not attending in-person, then you might want to be by a computer with internet to watch the keynote, or at least read about what is happening. I also know that my organization is looking at how we can help the partners become successful, and deepen the learning experience. I know that it is going to be another big launch year. Windows 7 ROCKS, as well as Server 2008 R2, Exchange 2010, and Office 2010 -

As I have been reflecting on my past year, I have had many influential conversations with both Partners and Customers, I thank you for that. One of the things We as employees do at the end of the FY, is our Review. As I have prepared mine, with all the details of meeting or not meeting my commitments, I ran across this article by Michelle Collins , and found it valuable especially for those of you that may be looking on how to reward or motivate your employees.

I have worked with Richard Campbell over the past several years at TechEd, whether I was a judge for his Speaker Idol, which is way cool, or working together in the fishbowl’s doing interviews, or engaging with everybody at the events. You may know Richard as one of the .NET Rocks! guys, but I am not a developer so I key into another show he is involved with called Run As Radio.

RunAs Radio, a weekly internet Audio Talk Show for IT Professionals was launched on April 11, 2007 with a nod from its sister show for developers .NET rocks. They cover a full range of IT topics and typically it is covered from a Microsoft-centric viewpoint. Each show promises to be about 30 minutes long and focused on a single topic, and a full range of audio formats and feed options are offered.

His current show is a talk with Stephen Rose, from Microsoft, talk about Windows 7 - Stephen Rose on the Windows 7 Release Candidate!

A couple others I found interesting:
