Quick Migration Revisited
Published on 3 Apr 2008 · Filed in Musing · 160 words (estimated 1 minutes to read)Earlier today I participated in a webinar with VMware in which the subject of Microsoft’s Quick Migration functionality came up. I’ve discussed Quick Migration vs. live migration (VMotion in the VMware world) before, but this time I had the opportunity to see an interesting video demo of Quick Migration.
The video demo of Quick Migration is available here.
Now, I’ll grant you that this video was produced by VMware and will quite naturally be slanted against Microsoft in favor of VMware. With that in mind, let me ask this question: Could the problems shown in the demo be eliminated with a correct setup?
Microsoft experts and experienced Hyper-V testers/users, I’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback in the comments below. We all know that it’s possible to create a demo environment that doesn’t follow vendor best practices and therefore puts that vendor in a bad light; was this the case here? Or are these problems with Quick Migration accurate?
