My Hypervisor is better than yours…and here’s why
So Laverick beat me to the punch on this one as I was preparing a post on this exact blog, but any who, I thought I would comment on it….
Straight from the horses mouth is an interesting post from the blog fancied, VMware: Virtual Reality that explains some of the major architectural differences between Hyper-V, Xen and ESX. A bit marketing tainted, the post describes such items as the reasoning behind the “Direct Driver” (ESX) architecture as opposed to the “Indirect Driver” (Xen, Hyper-V) architecture, hypervisor sizing, memory management and overcommitment, and shared storage. There really is nothing like a few netperf graphs, an “Uptime” taunt, and the smell of gun powder in the air to kick off the 4th!!!
