Microsoft Virtualization - Virtualization without Taxation
This video compares Microsoft Virtualization to VMware and outlines the additional cost for VMware because they require four layers - hardware, virtualization, operating system and applications and Microsoft only requires three - hardware, operating system with virtualization, and applications.
In addition to providing lower TCO and simpler architecture through Hyper-V server virtualization technology, Microsoft also offers a set of FREE virtualization planning, deployment and operational tools called Virtualization Solution Accelerators that aim at reducing the planning and deployment costs of virtualization.
