    Microsoft Hyper-V
    Hyper-V is Microsoft's hardware virtualization product. It lets you create and run a software version of a computer, called a virtual machine. Each virtual machine acts like a complete computer, running an operating system and programs. When you need computing resources, virtual machines give you more flexibility, help save time and money, and are a more efficient way to use hardware than just running one operating system on physical hardware. Each supported guest operating system has a customized set of services and drivers, called integration services, that make it easier to use the operating system in a Hyper-V virtual machine. Hyper-V includes Virtual Machine Connection, a remote connection tool for use with both Windows and Linux. Unlike Remote Desktop, this tool gives you console access, so you can see what's happening in the guest even when the operating system isn't booted yet.

    Maxta

    Maxta

    Maxta

    Maxta Hyperconvergence software gives IT the freedom to choose servers and hypervisors, scale storage independent of compute, and run mixed workloads on the same cluster. Unlike hyperconverged appliances, with Maxta there’s no vendor lock-in, no refresh tax and no upgrade tax. Use existing servers, buy pre-configured servers, or a combination of both. Appliances have a hidden cost. Never repay for software when you refresh hardware. Most storage and even hyperconverged solutions can only manage policies at the LUN, volume, or cluster level. Maxta lets you run multiple applications on the same cluster without sacrificing performance or availability. Appliance-based hyperconverged solutions make you repurchase the software license when you refresh hardware and add storage capacity only by adding additional appliances. You own your Maxta software forever and can add storage capacity by adding additional drives to servers.
