VCenter vs Hyper-V: Which is right for your company

-


Virtualization remains one of the hottest trends in business IT. Whether your organization has already invested heavily in the cloud or is considering a first-time migration, it can be critical to consider the role of a hypervisor in youroverall experience.

A hypervisor is computer software, firmware, or hardware that creates and runs virtual machines. The hypervisor presents virtual, or guest operating systems to virtual machines and manages the execution of these virtual operating platforms, which can consist of a variety of operating systems. The right hypervisor can ensure ease of use, flexible resource allocation, and minimal disruption to each of the operating systems in use.


Two of the most common choices for hypervisors include vSphere by VMware and Hyper-V, by Microsoft.


Hyper-V is built into Windows Server, or can be installed as a standalone server, known as Hyper-V Server, both of which can ease the learning curve for virtualization administrators who already have knowledge and background with Microsoft products. It offers a unified set of integrated management tools, regardless of whether organizations are striving to migrate to physical servers, a private cloud, a public cloud, or a "hybrid" mixture of these three options.


Cons:

 1. Require to have specific clients mostly windows client OS
 2. Require Windows Upgrades during product lifetime
 3. Poor support in SCCM 2012


VMware vSphere is a popular hypervisor choice for organizations hoping to achieve some degree of virtualization. vSphere Standard, Enterprise Plus, and Operations Management Enterprise Plus offer varying features and degrees of fault tolerance, allowing organizations to select the best coverage for their needs and growth goals


Cons:

 1. Intuitive use
 2. High-quality support availability
 3. May be an optimal fit for major enterprises
 4. Broad OS support
 5. Offers access to governance capabilities
 6. Transparent page sharing


Bottom Line


Success in virtualization requires a strong knowledge of your business requirements, clear goals, and a hypervisor that facilitates ease of use. The popularity of both vSphere and Hyper-V speaks to the products' quality and broad user bases.


Each Hypervisor has advantages and disadvantages of course.
  • VMware VSphere ESXI 6 has scalability and extendibility using VCenter and optional features although substantially higher cost due in part to per CPU licensing and  is more complex to manage.
  • Microsoft Hyper-V has integrated graphical console and PowerShell and System Center and Back Office integration and free OS licensing in its Datacenter version.
In the SME environment,, Hyper-V is better value and lower admin costs without unnecessary complexity and cost.
