The key element in virtualization solutions is the hypervisor, responsible for creating and managing virtual machines and allocating resources between them. Therefore, the choice of a particular technology depends on the virtualization goals.
Most common and widely used platforms:
Here is a brief look at the differences between them.
VMware vSphere includes a suite of software applications for installing and managing virtualization systems. It supports all major operating systems: Windows, Linux, MacOS, and others.
VMware vSphere allows you to:
The most common use of Microsoft Hyper-V is:
The platform is designed for applications, workstations, and server-based virtual infrastructures. It supports Windows, Red Hat, Linux, and other operating systems.
With Citrix Hypervisor, you can:
The ability to run multiple virtual machines on a single hardware platform reduces the number of required servers as well as cooling, electricity, and maintenance costs.
The virtual environment’s independence from physical servers increases the availability and resilience of the IT system.
Deployment of virtual private servers (VPS) helps to ease infrastructure management, simplify resource scalability, and reduce the required time to implement new services.
The administration of multiple virtual servers is handled from a single console, decreasing your IT staff's workload and allowing them to refocus resources on other tasks.
