VMware users cast eye on Microsoft tools for virtualization

VMware customers attended VMworld is based on Hyper-V virtualization software from Microsoft, but they say that Microsoft is starting a little too short and that would be problematic, again, after a significant investment in VMware.
investment in VMware is not only money but also time and training to institutional knowledge of the most widely used platform for the x86 virtualization to build.

I think we are in a business of VMware, know as with what we drive, more than anything else, says Chris Bennett, a director of VMware ESX Registry Linklaters in London.
The company is 80% of VMware virtual servers, but recently the adoption of the draft of the Hyper-V server virtualization in small offices all over the world. With Hyper-V, without add-on for Windows Server, would have saved money. But the company is struggling with VMware rather than a branch of the project to complications in the management of IT to be avoided. Including, for example, Linklaters, the same virtual machine template to use in the stores as is the case in the data center.
We have chosen [Hyper-V] only because of our knowledge at home with VMware, “said Bennett.
In addition to the knowledge of VMware customers, the use of long-term agreements VMware Enterprise License (ELA), it is difficult to change, “said Nik Gibson, director of the Enterprise Desktop in the practice Forsythe, technology consulting firm. Gibson is also a former employee, VMware and Citrix.
VMware is not doing a great job to ELAS customers. If you have invested so heavily, youre likely to transfer to another Hypervisor mix, “said Gibson. VMware has blocked a great job, many of these large customers in.
Bennett said Hyper-V is a good product overall , and some of its employees to informally use for research and development. The only serious problem Bennett sees the Hyper-V is the storage of his organization, which is more than VMware and more difficult to manage, says complicated.
same problem was by Josh Gray, an engineer of the Aurora Bank in Denver reported. Aurora uses for its implementation of VMware virtualization, but Gray wrote: Ive played with Hyper-V, very briefly in the laboratory, Microsoft.
Gray says the connection to the storage of virtual machines requires new measures in the Hyper-V in VMware, so that the process of addressing the problems a little more.
Microsoft has to go a long way to go [in virtualization], as if their mobile, “said Gray. It must be comprehensive, innovative things really fly from the market.The era
