Answer Wiki:
I think I want to start by saying we understand you are 100% VMware and we are not asking your to rip and replace. In fact, you can implement the System Center family of tools, with Virtual Machine Manager, that can manage VMware servers. In fact, VMM can manage multiple Virtual Center servers, giving you a manager's manager with VMM, plus all the other System Center tools. We feel that Hyper-V provides a compelling feature set for 1/3 cost. Thus, going forward, we want you to consider expanding your virtualization systems using Microsoft Virtualization products.
