Hyper-V vs. VMware: Which is cheaper?
Hyper-V vs. VMware: Which is cheaper?.
A few key quotes from the article:
“So while VMware’s initial acquisition cost is much higher than Hyper-V’s, VMware allows for much denser VM configurations and permits RAM overcommit for higher memory utilization rates”
“…users interested in Hyper-V today tend to be small and medium-sized businesses and remote offices that already use Windows Server; Hyper-V is built into that familiar system and allows them to run hundreds of VMs at a lower cost than VMware…”
“large data centers that are serious about VM availability and density continue to rely on VMware, not the first version of Hyper-V”
