VMware vSphere 4 vs. Microsoft Hyper-V R2 Talk Available for Download
A client invited us to give a presentation at their internal IT conference based on the virtualization whitepaper that we published last month. The whitepaper is available in this post. Registration is not required, but if you register, we will let you know when the next whitepaper comes out. We have a simple privacy policy and we will not fill your inbox with junk.
The talk went over well, including a lively discussion of the pros and cons of both approaches and how they would fit into the client’s infrastructure.
We are making a .pdf of the talk available today, containing much of the content of the talk. You can download the talk here:

Also, if you are in the Northeastern U.S. and are interested in hearing this talk first hand, please get in touch and perhaps we could present the talk at a lunch-and-learn event at your company.
your comparison of Type 1 and Type 2 hypervisors on page 7 disagrees with Wikipedia:

Hi Kevin, I double-checked my discussion of hypervisor types against the Wikipedia entry and I don’t see a conflict. Type-1 is bare-metal and type-2 is software-based. Please point out where you think went wrong. Thanks.
