Hyper-V is great, also System Center Virtual Machine manager kicks the pants out of VCloud Director and friends.
If you prefer a more hands on approach just plain Xen or KVM is a great option too. As for orchestration in that space have a look at running Openstack or Xen Orchestra etc.
- cpitman 12y agoFirst, I should say I work for Red Hat :-) If your goal is VM orchestration, and you are not ready to go full self-service via OpenStack and similar, then we also provide a product called CloudForms (http://www.redhat.com/en/technologies/cloud-computing/cloudforms http://www.redhat.com/en/technologies/cloud-computing/cloudf...). Basic idea is that it allows you to manage your hypervisors/VMs, regardless of what you are using (VMware, RHEV, EC2, etc). By manage, I mean that you can provision and implement policies around anything that might be done to a VM. For example, it can require a manager approve an VMs deployed into the production data center. It takes a lot of configuration, but fills a gap between IT provisions all VMs and full self service.
