Includes licensing for Operations Monitoring and Management. VMware licensing includes an internal vPostgres database that supports managing up to 100 hosts and 3,000 VMs via vCenter Server Appliance. No – Must purchase additional database server licenses to scale beyond managing 100 hosts and 3,000 VMs with vCenter Server Appliance. Yes – Includes all needed database server licensing to manage up to 1,000 hosts and 25,000 VMs per management server. Includes full SQL Database Server licenses for management databases Yes – Includes vShield Endpoint Protection which deploys as EPSEC thin agent in each VM + separate virtual appliance. Yes – System Center Endpoint Protection agents included for both Host and VMs with System Center 2012 R2 Includes Anti-virus / Anti-malware protection VMware does include licenses for an unlimited # of VMs running SUSE Linux Enterprise Server per Host.
In environments virtualizing Windows Server workloads, this can contribute to a higher overall cost when virtualizing with VMware. With VMware, Windows Server VM licenses must still be purchased separately. In addition, a minimum of one license of vCenter Server 5.5 is required for vSphere deployments.īoth solutions provide the ability to manage an unlimited number of Operating System Environments per licensed Host. This difference in CPU licensing is one of the factors that can contribute to increased licensing costs. With VMware, a vSphere 5.5 Enterprise Plus license must be purchased for each physical CPU. Additional licenses can be “stacked” if more than 2 physical CPUs are present. With Microsoft, each Datacenter Edition license provides licensing for up to 2 physical CPUs per Host. VSphere 5.5 Enterprise Plus + vCenter Server 5.5 + System Center 2012 R2 Datacenter Editions Not Supported – Not supported at all or without the addition of other product licensing costs.Limited Support – Significant limitations when using related feature, or limitations in comparison to the competing solution represented.Supported – Fully supported without any additional products or licenses.
For each comparison area, I’ll rate the related capabilities with the following color coded rankings: Rather than simply comparing feature-by-feature using just simple check-marks in each category, I’ll try to provide as much detail as possible for you to intelligently compare each area. On my search for comparing the newest version of VMware with Hyper-V 2012 R2 I found this chart that I think it will summarize what you need to know about the two Hypervisors.
