The features are not exactly the same. Hyper-V downgrades all hosts in a cluster to Pentium 4 capabilities. EVC is much more sophisticated.

Incorrect, Marco. These CPU-Z images are from a cluster configured as “64-bit Intel with NX.”

Actually, 2.1 has 64-bit Intel and AMD with or without NX also. Pentium just happens to be the first in the drop down when you build/edit a cluster.

You may be right that only “VMWare has EVC”. Hyper-V R2 just has “Processor compatibility mode”. Exactly the same feature, though.

Sounds like Red Hat is making progress. However, it seems like they should have held off until version 2.2 (or 3, or 4…) before declaring RHEV to be as good as vSphere or “best in class.”

Ian, do you prefer to run betas of your mission critical apps? I’m not.
