To be more specific on what enterprise-grade features this Hyper-V infrastructure would offer, let’s list them out. While there may be doubters, a Hyper-V infrastructure can be affordable AND enterprise-grade at the same time (the two aren't mutually exclusive). With more affordable and more feature-rich Hyper-V solutions available today, I wondered if it would be possible to create such a powerful virtual infrastructure on an “SMB budget"? Building an Affordable Hyper-V Infrastructure Traditionally, the software licenses for such a virtual infrastructure could cost tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars, depending on the number of hosts. While SMBs may not need all this functionality, medium and large enterprises will require it. Minimally, an enterprise-grade Hyper-V infrastructure, should posses the following characteristics: After all, every company will have different needs and expectations from their virtual infrastructure. The term enterprise-grade, when applied to a Hyper-V infrastructure, is worthy of defining, as what may be enterprise-grade to one company may be enterprise-inadequate to another. What Makes a Hyper-V Infrastructure "Enterprise-Grade"?
Do you want to build an enterprise-grade Hyper-V infrastructure but keep the costs to a minimum? Today, it’s easier and more affordable than ever before. However, the price of running an enterprise-grade Hyper-V infrastructure has come down (while the tools have gotten even better). While some small companies have opted to build a completely free Hyper-V infrastructure, the lack of centralized graphical management and other advanced options usually pushes them to spend more. With Microsoft’s continued enhancements to Hyper-V, the number of companies, small and large, that are using Hyper-V in their datacenter continues to increase.
