VMware's vSphere software have conquered the twenty first century market which is intended for the virtual servers because that debuted in 2001. Microsoft and Citrix are the main competitors for the VMware’s and this offer option in the form of Hyper-V and Xen Server. As the competition is getting high so they have started using the virtual servers. Anyways, I a m starting this to have a conversation on these. If you have anything to say about any of these then you are most welcome.

No doubt, VMware is obviously the most experienced company in respect of virtualization products. The organization has 10 years of experience in this field and during this time has managed to establish a large customer base, including one hundred percent of the Fortune 500 companies. VMware beats Hyper-V in several respects. First, VMware offers three support packages that can be contracted with the licensing of VMware.

VMware is in a unique position by virtue of the fact that it is the market leader in virtualization: 89% of applications in virtual mode is used in a VMware environment. It provides a platform for cloud services, whether private, public or hybrid, it needs to be made in a virtualized environment. As compared to other providers, the advantage is not just the computing power or a cloud-constrained applications.

Citrix and Microsoft will cooperate closer in the field of virtualization. The companies want a strong competition with VMware. In the second quarter of this year, Citrix will release management for Hyper-V. It turns against the Aral Essentials VMware products. VMware abstracts the hardware, through their file system. Thus, the functionality of the hardware dictated by VMware. Citrix allows hardware vendors to decide what functionality they add to their machines. They can then bring themselves to Essentials. "The only thing Citrix does is connect to the virtual machine storage and then goes out of the way.

If we talk about the application then I would like to tell you that both the Terminal Services in Windows Server 2008 and Citrix XenApp offers the ability to:

• SERVE individual applications, rather than a full session desktop Terminal Services
• RUN internal corporate applications from the Internet via HTTPS tunnel connection
• Launch published Terminal Services applications from a Web page

I am the fan of the Microsoft and I always prefer this product as this is the best in term of the quality and support. In any case if you have any problem with any of the product then that can be reported to the developers and they will solve the issue for you.
