\u201dHyper-V was the first product compared, and it performed quite differently from expectations. Hyper-V has been a focus of Microsoft dev efforts, and it shows. Overall, Hyper-V did well in this comparison and proved itself a worthy product.\u201d <\/em>\n<\/p>\n

\u201cIn our tests, Hyper-V did well in all categories-it’s a real, viable competitor for the competition. Table 2 shows Hyper-V’s comparative performance.\u201d <\/em>\n<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter doing these comparisons of ESX to Hyper-V and XenServer, it’s clear that at the hypervisor level, ESX is optimized for a large number of less-intensive workload VMs. For intensive workloads that may not be optimized for memory overcommit apps, Hyper-V and XenServer should definitely be considered-even if that means adding another hypervisor into the data center.\u201d<\/em>\n<\/p>\n

They go on to say it\u2019s horses for courses:\n<\/p>\n

\u201cFor CPU- and memory-intensive applications, XenServer and Hyper-V are attractive and have proven their mettle. For a large number of light to moderate workloads-or if you decide that memory overcommit, for example, is important-ESX may be the answer\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
