NiTRo that was somewhat my point though it may not have been clear..

I know its a bit late i see this article, but from my current perspektive im more considering Hyper-v 3.0 compared to Vmware ESXi..

Its allso a fare better competing product then Hyper-v 2.0

Looking forward to seeing any comparisons..

Even if the document is 8 month old, i affraid windows server 2012 and hyper-v 3 is not GA yet. Microsoft is not a time travelling agency yet

Thanks for your quick reply.. well as you may know i would rather compared it to server 2012 and hyper-v 3.0 rather then Hyper-v 2.0…

I haven’t read your report but i take it its hyper-v 2.0.. and not hyper-v 3.0

Casper,
Thanks for your comment. The report does not compare VM storage, any references to size would be memory.
If you would like to review all of the technical details, please see the full report. It is very transparent.

I try to keep a open mind being a customer to either hyper-v or Vmware…

And i question a report that in the first graf chooses to emphesize size of the VMs. As fare as i know live migraiton needs shared storage and so size doesn’t matter when we talk live migration. Size of the VMs memory does..

So basicly you are giving me data from something that can’t be done…

I see this as yet another VMware propaganda attempt, and i know MS isn’t any better

So what did you do “plan” it at the last second? Doesn’t sound like much of a plan, usually when we need to evac a host we know about with more then enough time to evac. Now if I knew a wrecking ball was about to hit one of my servers and I was only given 30 minutes then yes a fast vmotion would be nice but I’ve never seen that type of situation before.

well now you know why vmware does not allow bad results to be published. Yes, there are flaws in the testers work but they are flaws that are designed into windows thus I do fault microsoft and not the testers. I would never run w2k8r2 built in nic drivers for a 10gb pipe. The difference is night and day as far as performance is concerned.
