After a year with vmware, which now: vSphere or Hyper-V?

We use VI 3.5 on 3 servers blades in the past year. Recently, I spent VCP310 and now I'm preparing for the VCP410 exam.

We must now improve VI3.5 to vSphere and buy licensed vSphere for 2-3 new servers (CPU 8-10).

I really like VI 3.5, we have no problem in production with VI, but when I compare the prices and features with MS Hyper-V, I ask Vmware aims to take down the price?

I also think the other interesting what will be in the next 1-2 years?

Thank you very much

I understand your situation - two MS and VMware have their own take on how to model the cost of Virtual Infrastructure and financial need of good reasons to spend money when 'free' at the moment is an option - is my point of view of the scenario.

1. There is no such thing as "free" in business - whether it is a hypervisor or anything else.  MS offer hyper-v as a loss leader to encourage organizations to purchase the suite of products - SCCM, SCOM, SCDPM, SCVMM System Center... etc.

2. when sizing a solution of hyper-v that I found you miss memory before the other limitations such as cpu - MS thwart it by saying RAM is cheap and you can put as much RAM you need in a hyper-v Server - anyone who has tried to buy strips 8 GB DIMM recently will tell you memory is certainly not cheap if you want to increase the memory on a server.

3. my point of view on Hyper-V, it is a good choice for organizations with limited budgets and limited their virtual infrastructure requirements. It can also be a good target for organizations with a strong prejudice Ms.

4. a lot of the 3rd party backup and replication offerings do not provide any currently capabilities for hyper-v - for example, you might find yourself locked up a world of pure MS - be that good or bad. This is slowly changing, and more products will be compatible with hyper-v as the year rolls.

5. I always find customers are willing to pay, for vSphere customers looking to deploy DR or BC have more options with VMware, Xenserver or Hyper-v.

If the answer is unique for each company - but your IT and business needs should decide your future strategy rather than the underlying technology.

As told in some once said-"If you think that technology is the answer to your problem, then you don't understand your problem.

  • I have a lot of trouble recently with colors of the range. My software is updated, my system is calibrated with Datacolor, as in many years with her, but now I norticed much more than before out-of-gamut color images when checking this. Do not print.

    I have a lot of trouble recently with the release of the color range in Photoshop CC. The software is updated. I used to the Datacolor years to calibrate the system, and it worked well always. But now I noticed that I have a lot more images with out-of-gamut colors, and it prints wrong. Is this a problem with Adobe? The rest of my equipment is the same. Any help? I'd appreciate comments. Thank you, Emilio.

    First, the range warning applies to the proof profile that you put in place, under test format. If this is not the profile that you want to print with, there is no relevance.

    Second, range warning is a very large and imprecise indication, and I would just turn off. It shows what is out of range, but not how much. There are better ways, like proofing (even once, test format, toggle with ctrl + Y).

    You can also convert a copy of the file to print your profile and look at the histogram. If you have severe cuts, you can adjust the file accordingly.

    Third, there are people who feel the effect of threshold is best handled by the profile. In other words, doing nothing, just convert and done. I'm not one of them, just thought I would mention it.

    ------------------

    Just to put us all on the same page, here are the basics:

    There are three different color profiles here. The document profile, the profile of the monitor and the printer/paper/ink profile. If all of these profiles are good, the results will be consistent and predictable.

    So to start with the document profile. These are important parameters in the PS color settings dialog box:

    It can't be Adobe RGB, but there must be a standard color space (sRGB, Adobe RGB or ProPhoto).

    Then the monitor profile. The Spyder software everything for you, and Photoshop uses this profile to display the file. You don't need to do anything once the software ran - it is all set up automatically.

    You can check in Windows color management has the right profile is configured by default:

    Thirdly, the profile of the printer. It's one that refers to the book as "Xxx of Epson Premium glossy", or all that apply. You choose this profile in the dialog box print in Photoshop, and then you go in the printer driver ("settings") and ensure that color management is turned off it. You don't want a double color management.

    If it withdraws, and it still does not seem good, get back with more details.

    Oh, by the way - have you got your NEC monitor with Spectraview calibration software included? If you did, it is greatly preferable to the Spyder software for reasons more than I have space to list here. You can still use the Spyder probe, at least if it's generation 3, 4 or 5. Earlier versions are notoriously few reliable and also not designed for wide gamut displays.

    You can delete VM from the inventory.  Create a NEW virtual machine, punch the config of the hard disk of the computer virtual EXISTING and create a new configuration. Then migrate to move the vmx / vmdk in the same folder, delete the complete original when configuration file.

    You can be here all day trying to solve a vmx file, and it still doesn't work.  Best thing to do is start over with a new configuration.

  • Options of evolution after 1 year of cloud CS6

    Hello

    I currently have CS5.5 Web Premium.

    My understanding is that I can get

    (option 1) CS6 Web Premium for $375

    or

    (option 2) Adobe Creative cloud for one year for $359,88.

    Let me state at the outset that I have not need, or want the rest of the CS apps, nor the cloud storage.

    After one year with option 1, I'm in a stable situation. If CS6.5 comes out, I can choose whether or not to upgrade. And if the past is any indication, this upgrade would probably be about $375.

    After a year, with option 2, the next year would be $599,88.

    So here's my question, if I have to cancel Adobe Creative cloud after the first year, which would be my upgrade for CS6.5 price?

    Or rather, here's the question: is there a way to upgrade subscription for the free subscription?

    Thank you.

    Hi TigerKR,

    Sorry for the delay. Currently, I am unaware of any upgrade of the reduction at the subscription long-term in perpetual change. This does not mean that the option will not be available, rather than the info on this are currently not available. Although a little more expensive, my recommendation if you're on the fence, maybe just try the monthly option of the creative cloud, he would give you the opportunity to try it to see if you like it with the long term commitment.

  • After 3 years of use of this helmet and having no problems with it, now I can hear the sound in the right ear

    Hello, after 3 years of use of this helmet and having no problems with it, now I can hear the sound in the right ear... what should I do? Help, I don't want to say 'goodbye' to it already... Thank you

    It could be the plug on the computer that is the cause of the problem. Try another helmet or a pair of speakers in it.

    If you hear only on one side, who will tell you that is the question.

    If you hear from both sides, you must obtain a new helmet

    Software will fix either of the foregoing...

  • Request a product key after 3 years. Product included with Dell original keys do not work.

    Over the past two days, Windows started asking me to validate my product code.  This, despite the fact that I had the same OS since May 2007.  I do not know what prompted the change, but I have two codes of product on the CD provided by Dell.  One is for the OS, the other is for Microsoft Office professional 2007.  The only other CD received with the system is Dell XPS drivers and resources.  No Microsoft Product Code is acceptable for this verification process.

    Which MAY have been prompted by installing a new motherboard - the previous Dell motherboard had to be replaced due to several bad capacitors.  However, not sure how this affects the o/s installed previously.  The computer works in a manner consistent with the change of the motherboard for about 2 weeks now.  The new motherboard is a 2.67 image system and RAM has been improved at the same time to 4 GB.   I thought I would include these changes even if they seem not related to the evolution of the o/s.

    Thank you.

    "Heather Clemenceau" wrote in message News: f7c18811-e9a6-4bff-b053-7146e60c07f5...

    Thanks for the replies, I will examine in detail a little later.

    No, in answer to your question - the new motherboard is not made by Dell.  Dell had a problem a few years with the defective capacitors - although there are a few motherboards of Dell stock, there is no interest to replace an original motherboard with bad capacitors, with a new Board of Directors with the same problems.  Dell has replaced bad motherboards a couple of years, but mine had not blown at the time, and I'm not "excluded".

    In addition, the replacement with Dell motherboard is $400 + US dollars for a dual core (and comes with the same potential problem of capacitor), while I was able to get a new card with a quad core locally for about $250.  Is not supposed for several points of view to do otherwise, I think.

    The system doesn't seem to work with a few minor quirks, what are the consequences of inaction?  I can't afford to raise more money on this problem, as I am a student full time and cannot afford to replace the operating system...

    Provided by the Dell original OS keycode will OPERATE ONLY with a card mother Dell. You can buy a new key code which, by chance, usually comes with the installation media.
     
    You may have saved money on the Exchange and got yourself a better computer, but still you have to pay $400 after buying a new operating system. Look on the bright side, for $400, you have a more powerful computer. Consider making Windows 7.

    Hello

    Can someone help with this problem?
    I've had my Pro A10 sitting about 3 years now and it has just started to close.
    I had the fan replaced and cleaning of the unit.
    In power options, I put the CPU to the minimum speed and max cooling.

    Someone at - it any other suggestions.

    See you soon

    All you did was just to prevent overheating of the laptop.
    After 3 years of dust and debris could prevent the cooling modules work correctly

    So after laptop all cleaning should work and the laptop does not overheat.

    Maybe a new thermal paste between the CPU and the cooling module could help reduce the heat from the CPU.

    In addition, don't forget that there is enough free space around the laptop for the circulation of air correctly

  • So bored with Adobe because, after a year, I stopped my subscription, all my office applications are suddenly in the mode 'test '.

    I am a user of Adobe for a long time, until CS6 Adobe; I bought his so-called Master Collection. After Adobe began to Cloud creative advertise everywhere, my school advised me to CC because it had more powerful editing tools. I asked, ' what do I have to pay permanently for the subscription or can I stop after a year, but still be able to use all the applications I have installed within this year?" The response has been, I can keep the applications installed and they will be fully functional even if I stopped subscription.

    Now, after a year I quit my subscription (4 July), but then in the weeks all my office applications are placed under the "test" mode So confused and frustrated, I contacted Adobe for help, but in the chat room, the only repeated answer that I got was "I suggest you to place a new order for the subscription to use." I am very very disappointed with that kind of response, and also Adobe forcing me to continue to pay or return CS6, makes me very angry (I know where is my property?). I'm trying to find out the experiences of other users.
