alt Hacker NewsIMHO the key thing is to build your ability to switch. VMware did this because nobody has plans to switch their hypervisor. Learn to.
If you go to Hyper-V this year, leave yourself the flexibility to move away from it in a couple years. Choose backup solutions and storage solutions which enable flexibility.
Any recommendation on how we would do that?
We back up VM’s with Veeam, but we don’t back up the content outside of the VM presence if that makes any sense.
They’re effectively telling me we go to hypervisor this year before Feb for VMWare billing reasons. And my hope is that by the time I get tired of HyperV, or we need to move that a solution exists to convert to next.
It’s either that, or they’re trying to sell me on scale computing VM’s and their hardware.
