Q&A: should i use vmware ESX or hyper-v for best costs/Reliability ratio

Jul.23, 2009 in Q & A

The Question Below was received by giammin:

i need to build a 2 server cluster to host a frontend virtual machine.

the virtual machine should run on 1 node(most powerful) and in case of hardware/software failure run on 2 node (less powerful only for services availability, reliability)

should i use vmware or hyper-v for best costs/Reliability ratio?

thanks in advance.

As reliability go I would say VMware can beat hyper-V at any time, specially they have been out there for a lot longer & running in many production environment. I know many members of our team will argue on this, but if you come to me I would always implement VMware over Hyper-V when a critical application is involved.
