VirtualizationAdmin Blogs
Welcome to our VirtualizationAdmin Blogs.
In this space, I'll be sharing with you my thoughts, experiences, trials and successes with all things virtual, from everyday server virtualization to the VDI panacea. I'll provide a broad look at the whole market, from VMware to Microsoft to Xen to Parallels, and explain where each fits and doesn't fit. In this space, you'll also gain up-to-the-minute information about what's coming down the pike as well as how-to's that run the gamut from the person just starting out in the world of virtualization to the expert.

- Hyper-V 3.0 will nip at VMware’s heels
- Date - Apr 30th, 2012
- Author - Scott Lowe

But, as we get closer and closer to an eventual release of Windows Server 2012, I believe that VMware should be highly concerned with what is coming in Hyper-V 3.0, which will ship with Windows Server 2012. While current versions of Hyper-V have left something to be desired in the areas of simplicity, availability and scalability, when it comes to Hyper-V 3.0, the gaps between VMware and Microsoft will shrink in a big way. more...
