Do you know how different virtualization tower maps to their respective products? if not, read on…

No bias intended, but I selected Microsoft because they have clearly aligned their products to different virtualization tower as below:

• Presentation Virtualization – Windows Server 2008 R2 Remote Desktop Services (formerly, Terminal Services)
• Server Virtualization – Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V, Hyper-V Server, Virtual Server 2005 R2 SP1
• Desktop Virtualization – Virtual PC, Virtual Desktop Interface
• User State Virtualization – Document Redirection, Offline Files
• Application Virtualization – Microsoft APP-V (streams the application over the internet or intranet)
• Storage Virtualization – Data Protection Manager, Windows Storage Server
