Microsoft Corp. is the new competitor in the virtualization market, but executives outlined some of the reasons why they think the company can dominate it during a product launch event in Bellevue, Wash., on Monday.
Although VMware Inc. is by far the server virtualization market leader, Microsoft hopes it can compete on price, features and the strength of its other products, the executives said.
'VMware is ridiculously expensive,' said Bob Kelly, corporate vice president of infrastructure server marketing at Microsoft.
Microsoft's new Hyper-V software should cost users about one-third of what VMware's technology would, said Kevin Turner, chief operating officer at Microsoft, speaking during a keynote presentation at the event and using VMware prices listed on public Web sites.
Microsoft has also worked hard to allow customers to manage both VMware and Hyper-V within Microsoft's System Center management software, the executives said. 'So we think customers will deploy us side by side with VMware, and then, because of the price, you'll see customers move to us,' Kelly said.
Some customers are saying that the cost difference is indeed a factor for them. Matt Lavellee, director of technology at the MLS Property Information Network Inc. in Shrewsbury, Mass., said that since the real estate information firm already uses Windows Server to run its Web server farm, the cost savings of using the included Hyper-V instead of VMware proved overwhelming.
'Our analysis was that to use VMware would have meant 30% of our potential infrastructure expenses would have been just for VMware,' he said. VMware-trained IT staffers were also 10% to 20% more expensive than Microsoft-trained ones, he said. 'Cost is such a driver that unless Hyper-V didn't work, we weren't going to look at VMware.'
With 3D Ripper DX you can:- capture all geometry, textures and shaders, rendered during single frame;- import captured geometry into 3D Studio Max or Maya;- see what exactly has been drawn by each individual draw call;- see renderstate, textures, vertex streams, index stream, vertex declaration, vertex and pixel shaders (including HLSL source code if available) of each individual draw call.3D Ripper DX supports only DirectX 6.x, 8.x and 9.x applications. 3d ripper dx password. 1.The SwiftShader libraries act as drop-in replacements for graphics drivers.On Windows, most applications can be made to use SwiftShader's DLLs by placing them in the same folder as the executable. OpenGL, older versions of DirectX and software renderers are not supported.
Microsoft executives played up advantages the company has for selling a wide array of products and services that customers may already use. 'Virtualization is only one part of the solution. You need a complete platform,' said Bob Muglia, Microsoft's senior vice president of Microsoft's server and tools business.
That idea is a plus for Microsoft. 'If their software works as well or nearly as well as VMware, it becomes a challenge for VMware because of the sheer weight of Microsoft,' said Michael Cote, an analyst at RedMonk.

Best Argument: VMWare
Opening StatementsThe disruption of virtualization hegemony
Jason Perlow: For the first time in four years, Windows Server and Hyper-V are not only at parity in terms of basic enterprise virtualization functionality with VMware vSphere, but in a number of respects actually exceeds it in terms of features offered and encompasses the functionality of a number of other VMware products that would be considered expensive add-ons, as well as 3rd-party enhancements for VMware that you’d have to go to other vendors and spend big bucks for
as well.
The obvious manageability, scalability, ease of deployment and significantly reduced total cost of ownership advantage of Windows 8 Server and Hyper-V will finally force VMware into a corner as CIOs examine the licensing bottom line and the value to that Windows Server 8 and Hyper-V brings to their environments as a complete end-to-end virtual infrastructure and private cloud solution in a box, for a fraction of a cost of the industry leading enterprise virtualization stack.
Hyper-v Vs Vmware 2018
For those of you who still feel that VMWare's position is safe, I ask that you remember in the mid-1990's when Novell Netware was network operating system king and the newcomer, Windows NT seemed unfit for the enterprise. It's going to happen again, folks. Get your affairs in order, VMware. 2013 is going to be remembered as the year that the virtualization hegemony was disrupted.
Microsoft a minority player
Ken Hess: VMware has the clear advantage in the x86 virtualization market, since it began the market in 1999. Prior to this breakthrough, virtualization was something that IBM did on mainframe computers. VMware brought virtualization to the desktop and to the data center for everyone.
Microsoft is a late arrival in the virtualization market. Although, tardiness doesn't imply failure, I believe that Microsoft hopes that Microsoft shops and SMBs will embrace Hyper-V as their virtualization solution. Microsoft has a chance to claim a small percentage of the market's growth over the next few years but will never encroach on VMware's pole position.
Even if you take VMware out of the picture, Microsoft is still a minority player in the x86 virtualization space. Red Hat's KVM and Citrix's XenServer are two compelling and capable alternatives. Hyper-V has little chance of market penetration in light of its well-established competition.
For my money, there's VMware and then there's everyone else.
