I think this will change in SCVMM but I am not 100%

Smith [mailto:mich...@smithcons.com] Sent: Wednesday, July 13, 2011 10:56 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: vSphere 5 - Big License Changes SCVMM 2012 does - but my understanding is that it requires some piece-part of VMware that makes it "no cost savings" in that situation. Sorry, I don't know the details. So yes, using SCVMM 2012 you can support all the "major" hypervisors from one console (for one particular definition of "major" - it doesn't support several common desktop hypervisors).

Can you manage Xen, VMWare and Hyper-V hosts from one console without a lot of functionality loss? I've never looked at SCVMM, to be fair. On 13 July 2011 15:48, Michael B. Smith <mich...@smithcons.com> wrote: Further, Microsoft will be (is already, in the beta) supporting XenServer and the XenCloud products in SCVMM 2012. I can assure you that if they thought Xen was dead, they wouldn't have invested the effort. Xen and Hyper-V are also very similar "under the hood". How similar would take a paravirtualization architect to describe - but very similar. Regards, Michael B.

Do you realize that the vast majority of public cloud providers run on either the free or paid for XenServer or the free Xen hypervisor? One Canadian cloud provider has over 12,000 XenServer hosts. Now that Citrix has bought cloud.com, the Xen open source project and the Citrix XenServer (free and paid) product are not going away.

You might as well move to HyperV now if you want to avoid VMWare. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin -- "On two occasions...I have been asked, 'Pray, Mr Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?'
