It comes as a little surprise that VMware’s products especially VMware vSphere hypervisor are a lot mature since VMware vSphere hypervisor has been longer in the game than Microsoft Hyper-V. However, Microsoft Hyper-V has a few features that best fit in the modern-day enterprise environment.

Hyper-V vs. VMware on Workload Migration

While working in virtual environments, workload migration becomes a basic necessity. VMware has vMotion and Hyper-V offers Live Migration. While the former is a part of VMware vSphere and supports seamless migration in real time to balance server loads, Live Migration also supports migrations with Zero Downtime. Experts believe the implementation of Live Migration is complex than vMotion since Live Migration requires Microsoft Failover Clustering to be set up before actually performing the migration.

Hyper-V vs. VMware comparison on Architecture

When it comes to architecture, Hyper-V has two variants: Hyper-V role and Hyper-V server. The underlying architecture is built over micro-kernelized hypervisors. This means it follows the model where a host provides direct access to hardware resources. It also allows for the isolation of Virtual Machines into logical units known as partitions

On the other hand, vSphere is a collection of different components. At the core, there is VMware ESXi which is a native hypervisor that manages host servers and also multiple guest Virtual machines. Hence the VMware ESXi manages and enables computing resources shared by all Virtual machines running across the system. ESXi VMware vSphere hypervisor reduces overhead on the system as introduced in its earlier versions.

Hyper-V vs. VMware on Management Tools

Management tools are yet again very important while working in virtualized environments. VMware vSphere hypervisor offers vCenter which offers centralized data management for effective virtualized cloud infrastructures. It allows for viewing and controlling of ESXi hosts and host clusters

Microsoft Offers Microsoft System Centre Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM). It allows for management of multiple VMs running in same environment and also allows admins to create, control and delete VMs. It provides access to memory, drivers, storage and other areas for better resource management.

Hyper-V vs. VMware on Snapshot Technology

In order to capture a point in time copy of a Virtual machine including the containing data, snapshot technology is used. It comes in handy when any VM is disaster struck. VMware vSphere hypervisor offers snapshots white Hyper-V offers Checkpoints.

With Snapshot, you can take 32 snapshots per VM, store the snapshot in files like normal files in a VM and it is transient in nature. On the other hand, Checkpoints are persistent in nature, there is an option to take 64 snapshots for each VM and they are saved in host server which can be exported later. That is an essential thing for any cloud business.

Microsoft’s developers have worked over and made significant changes to virtual desktop infrastructure and the initial architecture of desktop Virtualization to provide a smooth deployment and management experience to IT pros. This also simplifies app delivery since it uplifts the permanent installation requirement of MSIX packaged apps and allows them to be dynamically “attached” to a virtual machine. It makes things faster, gives fewer burdens to the storage and provides the admin a smoother management and updating experience.

A smoother Office Virtualization experience

To make things more robust, productive FSLogix technology is deployed in the desktop Virtualization environments of Windows Virtual Desktop. This technology was also deployed in Office virtualized environments. WVD is fully equipped with FSLogix tools resulting in a streamlined Office virtualization experience with best-in-line performance.

Virtualized Win 7 Experience

Since Win 7 extended support is ending in January 2020 from Microsoft, many customers aren’t ready to leave win 7 legacy applications. With Windows Virtual Desktop, customers get the option to continue using Win 7 desktops in a desktop virtualization environment with free Extended Security Updates (ESU) until January 2023.

Extending Windows Virtual Desktop

Many Companies who have partnered with Microsoft have the privilege to extend the Windows Virtual Desktop according to their business value. For example, Citrix can extend WVD and can support Windows 7 with free Extended Security Updates for up to three years, Windows 10 multi-sessions and support for Windows Server 2008 R2 with free Extended Security Updates on Azure and your personal cloud desktop.

VMware Horizon Cloud on Microsoft Azure can extend WVD with benefits like Windows 10 Enterprise multi-session. Hardware Companies who have partnered with Microsoft and system integrators (SI) can utilize Windows Virtual Desktop in their turnkey Desktop-as-a-Service solutions to provide better Desktop virtualization experience to their customers. Partners have the potential to come up with innovative solutions with Microsoft’s Windows Virtual Desktop technology with the best-in-line virtual desktop infrastructure.
