Hyper-V is the best virtualization solution for SQL Server

Built-in Virtualization – Low TCO & Foundation for CloudVirtualization built into the operating system with Windows Server® 2008 R2 Hyper-V™ virtualization technologyVirtualization in the management platform with the System Center suite of solutionsMicrosoft (existing knowledge and skills) vs. VMware (more training, support, costs)

Unified, In-Guest Management and Non-invasiveVirtualized Cloud infrastructures need comprehensive, physical, and virtual managementOnly Microsoft System Center suite delivers

Unique Heterogeneous Management (Hyper-V and VMware)Host and Unique in-guest management of applications and servicesIntegrated Physical and Virtual Single infrastructure, Single license

Coexistence with no rip and replace for existing VMware customers

Single vendor to deal with : licensing, management tools, skillset, support (CDW paper)

Faster to market: with upcoming HP Database Consolidation Appliance (CY2011-H2)

Licensing Cost Comparison* - Microsoft and VMware

Side-By-Side Comparison Virtualizing 5 Servers,2-processor Hosts, with Management Server Costs, 2 year Maintenance and No Operating System Costs

*Based on a comparison of Microsoft® System Center Server Management Suite Datacenter with VMware® vSphere Enterprise Plus with VMware vCenter Server.. Assumes a five host configuration, 2 processors on each host, 2 years support costs for both products, and no operating system costs included.. The Microsoft solution can use either the free Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008 R2 hypervisor or an existing Windows Server 2008 R2 hypervisor.  Based on Microsoft estimated retail prices and published VMware prices available at https://www.vmware.com/vmwarestore as of 08/04/2009 for purchases in the United States. Actual reseller prices may vary.

TAKEAWAYS

Why Hyper-V is the best virtualization for SQL Server (mission critical workloads)

On-par Performance – SQL Server on Hyper-V or VMwareVery close to native performance for Hyper-V and VMware running SQL ServerBoth products uses the latest features from Intel (EPT) and AMD chip (NPT)

Windows Clustering is the Key HA TechnologyWindows Clustering is a mature technology and part of Windows ServerMore SQL Server customers implemented Failover Clustering for SQL Server over DB Mirroring & Log Shipping (especially in high-end mission critical SQL Server applications) Upcoming SQL Server “Denali” HA (AlwaysOn) make use of Windows Clustering

Customers Lose Key VMware Features in Failover Clustering* VM mobility: No vMotion (Key reason to virtualize http://www.vmware.com/virtualization/why-virtualize.html )Dynamic Resource Allocation:

No automation level for VMware DRS (Dynamic Resource Scheduling)No Virtual Machine Restart Priority

Zero-loss: No VMware Fault ToleranceVirtual SAN: No N-Port ID virtualization (NPIV)Memory overcommit not recommended

Customers Retain ALL Hyper-V Features in Failover Clustering – Live Migration, NPIV^, Dynamic Memory, Mixed Guest/Host Clustering, and many more

*VMware publication (page 11) http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vsphere4/r41/vsp_41_mscs.pdf ^Needs SCVMM for NPIV support

Hyper-V is best for SQL Server
