<p class="MsoNormal">Interesting topic, since you're already running Hyper-v and ESX, I'm inferring that your workload is heavy on windows VMs.<br>
If you're doing majority windows, and minority linux, stick with hyper-v. The benchmarks I've read show that windows VMs run fastest on hyper-v VS all others.<br>
If you expect an even split, it might make sense to create Host Aggregates of various hypervisiors like hyper-v and KVM, and utilize extra-specs in the flavors and guest images to aid in scheduling, for example "Windows images launch on the hyper-v pool"<u></u><u></u></p>
