This is very interesting given that some of my customers want a true comparison between VMware and Hyper-V and now I can tell them to check this independent tool for sincere advice. This tool is really excellent. I am asking Ratmir to send me a copy of it so I can try it out!
Enterprise P2V Migration Planning and Workload Optimization Solution.
5nine P2V Hyper-V Planner is the first virtualization migration solution specifically designed for enterprise Hyper-V deployment projects. P2V Planner automatically discovers all the elements of your data center and collects information about existing hardware and its utilization, as well as application workloads. It then performs sophisticated analysis of the data collected in order to present to you several migration plans optimized according to business requirements, cost, ROI, current or additional hardware required, etc.
Features and Benefits:
- Automated P2V Migration Planning – Performs sophisticated analysis of the current data center and provides multiple migration plans depending on particular enterprise requirements. Optimized placement of virtualized workloads is based on business requirements, technology (memory, storage and CPU utilization, security) and TCO/ROI.
- Agentless Data Collection – Automatically discovers and collects hardware inventory, utilization data and application performance metrics in a non-intrusive manner without installing agents. It also allows importing this information from an Excel or XML file.
- Simple-to-Use – The product was designed to be used for projects of all sizes – from small virtualization pilot or SMB projects to large enterprise projects with hundreds of servers, hosts and virtual machines (VMs). Non-intrusive, simple installation requires only minutes to deploy and start using the product. In addition, the intuitive wizard-driven interface requires minimal training for data center administrators and managers.
- Enterprise Options – Provides multiple migration plans depending on particular enterprise requirements. Optimized placement of virtualized workloads is based on business requirements, technology (memory, storage, CPU utilization, security) and TCO/ROI.
- Integrated Comprehensive Reporting – P2V Planner creates a variety of technology assessment, workload and TCO/ROI reports for each migration plan, for easy comparison and decision making. The list of reports includes:
- - Summary: migration results report
- - Hardware consolidation report
- - TCO/ROI reports
- - Workload and utilization report
- - Migration Plans Comparison report
- - Electrical power consumption savings report
- - Disaster recovery savings report
- - Data center administration savings report
- - Data center storage report
- - Virtual Infrastructure costs report
- Ongoing Value – Whether your P2V migration project is complete or ongoing, the Planner continues to provide value by optimizing workloads and resource utilization in a virtualized data center.
The current version of the product supports Microsoft Hyper-V technology, while subsequent releases will support multiple virtualization platforms, as well as actual P2V Migration in accordance with the P2V migration plans created.
