Question

Assume that a local school district is looking at virtualizing their data center. Currently they have three windows server 2016 servers setup in a domain structure for administrative use. In additon, they have two Linux-based Web servers that run Web services including a Web proxy used to filter Internet access. They have asked your firm, Computer Technology Serrvices, to compare the features of vSphere and Hyper-V to see which hypervisor solution will work best for them. In this project you should use the Internet to find some comparisons between Hyper-V and vSphere v6.0. your report should compare Hyper-V and vSphere in the following categories:

Scalabilty

Security

Virtual machine support

virtual networking

Storage capability (support for NAS, iSCSI, Fibre Channel, and scalabilit of storage capacity)

High Availabilit features (clustering, migration, high availabilty, load balancing)
