If you\u2019re considering installation Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V, or if you\u2019re considering moving from vSphere to Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V, then I have one very important question to ask you:<\/p>\n
Do you want the project to succeed?<\/p>\n
If the answer is yes, then go get your hands on the free<\/u><\/em><\/strong> Microsoft Assessment and Planning Toolkit (MAP) 7.0, which just went into beta<\/a> and will probably RTM when Windows Server 2012 does.<\/p>\n I\u2019ve come to the conclusion that there is a direct correlation between success of a virtualisation project and a pre-design assessment. Why? Because every time I\u2019m asked in, and this only happens when things go bad, I ask for the assessment reports and I\u2019m told that there are no reports. I dig a little further and I find that there were mistakes with design that some due process may have eliminated.<\/p>\n Key features and benefits of MAP 7.0 Beta help you:<\/p>\n It\u2019s free folks, so cop on! Spend half a day installing it, doing the discovery, and starting the measurement, and 1 week later come back and run some sizings against different infrastructure specs. Run some reports and you have a scientifically sized infrastructure. Surely that\u2019s better than the guesswork that you would have done instead? Oh you<\/em> must be the exception because you know your customer\u2019s requirements. If I had a Euro for every time I\u2019ve heard that one \u2026<\/p>\n If you can\u2019t guess, this stuff makes me angry. But never mind me; you probably know better than me, Microsoft, real VMware experts, etc. If I had another Euro for every time I\u2019ve heard that one \u2026<\/p>\n If you\u2019re considering installation Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V, or if you\u2019re considering moving from vSphere to Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V, then I have one very important question to ask you: Do you want the project to succeed?
