Microsoft Virtualization

So you feel you already "have the virtualization problem solved" for your company. You're using the VMware ESX hypervisor to consolidate some of your server workloads to reduce cost and gain efficiencies. And you're using VMware vCenter Server to manage your ESX hypervisors and the virtual machines running on them. Of course, most of your servers and desktops are running Microsoft® Windows® and Windows-based applications, but up until now you've considered yourself a solid VMware shop.

Why should you even bother considering trying out Hyper-V™ or examining any of the Microsoft System Center family of products?

This whitepaper examines the types of questions that VMware shops commonly ask when presented with the possibility of introducing Hyper-V and System Center into their existing VMware virtualized infrastructure and expresses some of Microsoft's responses to such questions.
