Performance Comparison of Cloud Computing/IoT Virtualization Software, Hyper-V vs vSphere

摘要

Hyper-V and vSphere are amongst the top virtualization software's available in the market currently. Both of these products are from different vendors, Hyper-V is developed by Microsoft and vSphere is devolved by VMware. The intent of this paper is to compare the network performance of two different software's using IPv4 and IPv6 that will allow us to determine which perform better at different stages of the test. Virtualization is used in Cloud data centers that store most of IoT (Internet of Things) data. Results show VMware (vSphere) is able to achieve much higher throughput that Hyper-V. Also VMWare showed lower delay, but the differences is in milliseconds that is not noticeable.
