The Facts

Proven Leadership

  • 100% of the Fortune 100 and 99.5% of the Fortune 1000 run VMware.
  • VMware vSphere 5: InfoWorld.com’s Technology of the Year Award, for the 8th year in a row.

Proven Reliability

  • VMware vSphere’s architecture is purpose-built with the industry’s smallest disk footprint; Microsoft Hyper-V R3 will still have a large disk footprint, burdened with general-purpose Windows code that has nothing to do with virtualization.
  • Analysts estimate that over 80% of all virtual machines in the world run on VMware.

Proven Technology

  • VMware VMotion performs 5 times faster than today’s Microsoft Live Migration.
  • VMware HA (High Availability) works even when half or more hosts in a cluster go down; Microsoft "HA" doesn’t.
  • Hyper-V R3 will still fall short of vSphere 5 in critical areas like virtual security, storage management and business continuity.
