<\/p>\nYup, that\u2019s what Jeff Woolsey (overall PM for Hyper-V) said in the launch videos. We can now have up to 8,000 virtual machines in a Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V cluster. That\u2019s double the 4,000 that was previously announced for the RC release. I guess the clustering group got some new toys to play with <\/p>\n
What will VMware think of this?<\/p>\n

I responded:<\/p>\n Rumour was that up to a month or two ago, VMware\u2019s field offices were ignoring WS2012 Hyper-V.

<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\nTad<\/strike> Eric Grey, did you see 120 virtual machines live migrate at the same time? Wow, but you think 8 VMs is enough. How long do you think it\u2019d take to put a vSphere 5.1 host with 1TB RAM into maintenance? In a real Fortune 500 data center, I\u2019d guess they\u2019d be using big fast Infiniband networking. 8 vMotions at a time over that might take a while, eh? But who\u2019d want that? IT from the year 2000 should suffice. <\/p>\n<\/p>\nTechnorati Tags: Hyper-V<\/a>,VMware<\/a>,Virtualisation<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
