Year on year, Microsoft continues to move up, and to the right, whilst VMware continue to slip.

x86 Server virtualization sharefor the past 5+ years

Source: IDC WW Quarterly Server Virtualization Tracker, December 2013. 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.

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 ConverterAdditional Requirements when converting to Microsoft Azure VMware -> Microsoft Azure

MVMC 2.0 performs virtual machine conversions to VHDs and uploads the disks to Microsoft Azure Blob Storage.

Pre-Requisites

Added 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 2.0 is running.

See documentation for guidance.

Migration Automation ToolkitFree solution to automate & scale MVMC 2.0Migration Automation Toolkit for MVMC 2.0

Series of PowerShell scripts that wrapper MVMC 2.0 with automation to perform multiple conversions simultaneously

Free to download, edit and customize

Uses free SQL Server Express (or other SQL Server editions) to store information about the conversion process

Supports multiple simultaneous conversions per MVMC 2.0 machine

Scales out across ‘Helper Nodes’ – multiple machines running MVMC 2.0 and scripts all coordinated from central node

More helper nodes = more conversions simultaneously.

Vision Solutions: DoubleTake MoveCustomer Success with VMware Migration: TeleComputingDriven to Save Costs

From Datacenters in Norway & Sweden, delivering 2,400 hosted applications to approximately 75,000 end users every day at more than 800 small and midsize businesses

10,000 VMs on 3,500 physical servers.

Needed to grow beyond current datacenter, but additional VMware licenses hugely expensive.

Chose to switch, but needed to move in small maintenance windows.

NetAppProject Shift

Glenn SizemoreNetApp

NetApp: Project ShiftRapid Virtual Machine Conversion – Powered by the ArrayData 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 modeMore info: https://communities.netapp.com/community/netapp-blogs/msenviro/blog/2013/08/02/mat-powered-by-project-shift,
