The Pros and cons of Azure Stack HCI and Windows Server Hyper-V

By Vladan SEGET | Last Updated: March 3, 2023

If you have an on-prem environment running with Hyper-V, you might be interested in this free webinar organized by StarWind. In fact, you'll learn how Azure Stack HCI compares to Windows Server Hyper-V, what's the advantages (or inconvenient) of running your workloads in Azure Stack HCI.

Register for the webinar Here.

As you might already heard, the Free Hyper-V server is getting deprecated by Microsoft. However the Hyper-V role on the paid version of Windows Server still lives on and strong. Microsoft is not planning to deprecate Hyper-V itself, but the free version of Hyper-V Server 2022. This is a different product version, where only the HyperV features are available on the host OS

From what I could find about Azure Hyper-V:

You can use Azure Automanage for Windows Server brings new capabilities specifically to Windows Server Azure Edition. These capabilities include:

  • Hotpatch
  • SMB over QUIC
  • Extended network for Azure

Automanage for Windows Server capabilities can be found in one or more of these Windows Server Azure Edition images:

  • Windows Server 2022 Datacenter: Azure Edition (Desktop Experience)
  • Windows Server 2022 Datacenter: Azure Edition (Core)

But, if you're having some of your workloads on the Free version of Hyper-V you might be asking yourself what's next?  You'll find perhaps your answer within this webinar.

StarWind has recently released an update to their StarWind VSAN Hyper-V edition. We have covered the news here. StarWind's latest release for Hyper-V platforms brings an additional benefit of choice. If the choice of strategy is to store the storing synchronization journals on separate storage, you can benefit for faster sync times in case one of your nodes goes down. Two new strategies allows you to either benefit from:

Best Performance – The strategy provides better I/O performance while all device nodes are in a healthy state. But it can't guarantee fast synchronization in all cases.
Fast Recovery – The strategy provides faster recovery in all cases but requires an I/O overhead for each write operation
