Already for a while now, Microsoft supports host clustering for Virtual Server 2005 R2. This article tries to compare these features to VMware ESX 3.0 high availability and VMotion. More and more, Microsoft is using these features in pre-sales talks with customers. If you, as a potential customer, are not aware of some of the details, you might end up thinking that Microsoft’s offering is equal to VMware’s. This article will show it is not. Of course, you have to match what is offered to your needs. Depending on those needs, Virtual Server 2005 R2 might be a good fit. To be fair, VMware provides high availability out of the box only with ESX 3.0 and its HA feature. At the time of this writing (June 22nd 2006), ESX 3.0 is only just available. ESX 2.x did not provide such a feature although some third party offerings were available. Read hsi full article here.
