Downside: Hyper-V using Generic Windows DriversWindows is a single point of failure for Hyper-V
Microsoft Slide from TechEd 2006
!!!!!!!!!!!!
Generic Windows Drivers are the Root Cause of 70% of Crashes – these crashes will affect Hyper-V hosts
© VMware, Inc. VMware Confidential
Risk from Generic Windows Drivers
“A house of cards -- that's how I'd describe the current state of the Windows device driver ecosystem… And now, with the introduction of Hyper-V, we have a whole new failure vector to think about.”
“In a nutshell, one of Hyper-V's advertised strengths -- the host partition's ability to work with generic Windows device drivers -- is also its greatest weakness. That's because the quality level of Windows device drivers, especially those from third-party developers, is notoriously inconsistent.”

Limitations of Managing ESX with Microsoft SCVMM
“Microsoft hopes that its customers, already implementing the competing hypervisor [ESX], stop using VirtualCenter and turn to SCVMM 2008 for any task. Unfortunately this goal seems hard to achieve considering some limitations that plague this first attempt.”
Virtualization.info, 2008
No VirtualCenter (VC) Network Labels seen No VM CPU reservations or limits can be set No VM memory resource allocations No disk resource allocations No processor affinity settings Can’t install or upgrade VMware tools No VMware tools power control settings No where to see the location of a VM’s .vmx file No host maintenance mode Can’t configure HA, DRS, DPM, Update Manager Can’t set swapfile locations No visibility into Guided Consolidation No performance monitoring\reporting for ESX hosts & VMs No VC tasks, events, and alarms seen No configuration settings for VC permissions\roles Can’t clone to template Can’t create resource pools. Only can view them. No storage admin tasks, ex. add\remove storage, rescanning HBAs Can’t view or configure licensing Can’t configure security settings No traffic shaping for ESX NICs No topology maps No access to VMware Convertor No adv. network configs, ex. NIC team, security settings, load balance …

But what about cost?
VMware solutions are a lower cost per application than other so-called
“free” virtualization offerings.

What is Cost per ApplicationVM density is critical in a virtual environment
Physical World Virtual World
1:1 relationship between applications and hardware
Relevant cost metric = upfront licensing
Many:1 relationship between applications and hardware
Relevant cost metric = cost/application
© VMware, Inc. VMware Confidential
VMware Density AdvantageWhy VMware’s superior technology makes it a less expensive solution
Memory OversubscriptionMore efficient use of physical RAM by reclaiming unused physical memory and consolidating identical memory pages among VMs on a host.
Direct Driver ModelVMware ESX can achieve very high I/O throughput and can handle the I/O requirements for more VMs simultaneously requesting hardware resources.
Support for Large Memory Pages and Nested Page TablesOptimize memory access and can provide substantial performance benefits for mission critical, memory-intensive applications, can reduce CPU resource consumption by up to 15%.
DRS with Resource PoolsDynamically load balance VMs across a cluster so applications get required resources when they need them -a “safety net” that lets administrators run individual servers at higher utilization levels while meeting service level agreements.
High Performance “Gang” SchedulerCan account for CPU and I/O needs of virtual machines by dynamically allocating more resources and larger processor timeslices to VMs.
