Solarwinds Whitepaper: Microsoft Hyper-V vs. VMware vSphere: Understanding the Differences
SolarWinds News, Support, and Training Resources »
For years, there has been a feature battle between VMware vSphere® and Microsoft Hyper-V®. In general, vSphere has won the feature battle, although Hyper-V is certainly no slouch; the product can hold its own. Although vSphere’s superiority remains largely in place today, the feature gap will ultimately shrink and Hyper-V will become a “good enough” solution for more and more organizations. In this paper, you will be introduced to key features in both products and be exposed to the feature deltas that may exist.

Hyper-V Storage Enhancements & What they Mean for Users - Part 1
SolarWinds News, Support, and Training Resources »
Storage management will likely be the most important near-term consideration for organizations looking to invest in virtualization. The importance here is to select the correct storage methodology for the virtualization environment being built (there are more choices available today than there were five years ago), and to ensure that the correct management tools exist for managing both the storage infrastructure and the hosts and virtual machines utilizing those services. More to the point, the key is to not get locked into the wrong storage methodology.

Virtualization showdown: Microsoft Hyper-V 2012 vs. VMware vSphere 5.1
Microsoft Hyper-V - Windows Server Virtualization (Hypervisor) News, Support and Training Resources »
Any comparison of Microsoft's Hyper-V versus VMware's vSphere has to take into consideration a number of different factors. First, there's the target customer and the feature set for different sizes of deployments. The needs vary widely depending on the number of virtual machine instances, and these requirements should drive the architecture and configuration choices. Second, there is the topic of management, which is also tied closely to the size of the installation. Beyond these considerations are a number of other issues, including cost, performance, scalability, and usability.
