Q2 CY2008Q2 CY Year Q2 CY Years Q2 CY Years Q2 CY Years Q2 CY Years Q2 CY2014 Current Change Since Hyper-V Released Microsoft Hyper-V VMware ESX Source: IDC WW Quarterly Server Virtualization Tracker, September Hyper-V and ESX + vSphere shares based on percent market share among all x86 new hypervisor deployments (nonpaid and paid). x86 hypervisor shipments include those sold on new servers, new nonpaid hypervisor deployments aboard new servers, and new hypervisor sales and nonpaid hypervisor deployments on installed base servers. Share gains for Hyper-V and ESX + vSphere come in part from market share transfers from older products from same vendors. Hypervisor share growth Hyper-V is gaining in share of shipments while VMware declines

Microsoft Virtual Machine Converter Additional Requirements On the Destination Hyper-V Host User account must have write access to UNC path on Hyper-V host, used to copy the new virtual hard disks. Hyper-V host must have enough capacity available for new virtual hard disks. Windows Guests For online conversion, disable firewall, enable RDP & ensure VMware Tools are installed. VM should be domain-joined. Remote access through WMI is enabled on source VMware VM. Account being used for conversion is part of an AD domain, and has local administrator rights on VM.

Microsoft Virtual Machine Converter Additional Requirements On the Destination Hyper-V Host User account must have write access to UNC path on Hyper-V host, used to copy the new virtual hard disks. Hyper-V host must have enough capacity available for new virtual hard disks. Linux Guests Target VM requires VMware Tools to be installed. SSH required to remove VMware Tools – ensure SSH is enabled and prepared to accept input on port 22. Root credentials currently required – su/sudo not currently supported. Refer to documentation for more details.

Microsoft Virtual Machine Converter Additional Requirements when converting to Microsoft Azure VMware -> Microsoft Azure MVMC 3.0 performs virtual machine conversions to VHDs and uploads the disks to Microsoft Azure Blob Storage. Pre-Requisites Add a management certificate for Microsoft Azure that can be used for authentication with your subscription ID on Microsoft Azure. You have a storage account to upload and store the converted VHDs in Microsoft Azure. To convert and upload to Microsoft Azure, you have to install Windows PowerShell Runtime 3.0 on the machine on which MVMC 3.0 is running. See documentation for guidance.

NetApp: Project Shift Rapid Virtual Machine Conversion – Powered by the Array Data ONTAP, FlexClone & WAFL Process involves cloning the data blobs from one format to another, writing any unique differences as needed. For VMware to Hyper-V, we clone from the flat VMDK into the new VHD/VHDX, writing any headers and metadata as needed. Take a VMDK on an NFS data store and shift it to a VHD/VHDX in seconds. Supports conversion of Windows Server & Linux, and latest versions of Hyper-V & vSphere. Only writing the difference in the file format not the contents of the virtual disk itself. Requires a NetApp storage device that is running Data ONTAP 8.2 or later, running in Cluster mode More info:
