What is the difference between VMware and Hyper-V?

VMware is a widely used virtualisation platform with tools such as vSphere and Workstation, and it supports many operating systems, including multiple versions of Windows and Linux. VMware is well suited to companies that need advanced features and support for a variety of environments. Hyper-V is Microsoft’s virtualisation tool built into Windows, primarily for Windows servers and desktops, but it can also run Linux. Hyper-V is better integrated with Windows features and easy to manage with Windows tools. In short, VMware works best for large, mixed environments that want powerful virtualisation, while Hyper-V is best if your business is focused on Windows and wants something cost-effective and tightly integrated.
