Learn how it protects your critical infrastructure in our latest article.

How does it work? Being triggered, the Node Fairness service determines the current workload on the cluster hosts. If needed, it automatically migrates VMs to the less loaded host. After the start, the cluster service checks the host for two factors: If the average host CPU load exceeds the tolerated threshold If the average host memory utilization is higher than the tolerated threshold In case either of these criteria is met, the VM gets live migrated to the less loaded host. Neither guest system nor services do experience any downtime.

Moving to Proxmox VE but don’t want to leave your Hyper V VMs behind? With PowerShell, you can easily export your VMs, transfer, and convert them to the right format.

Microsoft has officially phased out the free version of Hyper V with Windows Server 2025. This change marks a major shift for IT pros and organizations that rely on cost-effective virtualization. What does this mean for your infrastructure and budget?

NIC teaming in ESXi increases vSwitch bandwidth and provides load balancing during network or hardware failures. If the load-balancing policy does not match the network equipment, connectivity issues may occur, but they can be resolved through the ESXi console or out-of-band management.
