Uploaded just a minutes ago there are new videos from MVA on TechNet. The videos compare Microsoft technologies with VMware technologies. Previous MVA released such course with videos where Hyper-V was compared with ESXi and vSphere. Now we can see the same approach with Microsoft Private Cloud over the VMware vCloud compare and by Microsoft Private Cloud it is meant freshly released System Center 2012 SP1:
- Microsoft Virtual Academy: Competitive Advantages of System Center 2012 SP1 over the VMware Private Cloud – Part 1 – Introduction
- Microsoft Virtual Academy: Competitive Advantages of System Center 2012 SP1 over the VMware Private Cloud – Part 2 – All about the App
- Microsoft Virtual Academy: Competitive Advantages of System Center 2012 SP1 over the VMware Private Cloud – Part 3 – All about the App Demo

- Microsoft Virtual Academy: Competitive Advantages of System Center 2012 SP1 over the VMware Private Cloud – Part 6 – Foundation, Hybrid & Costs
Obviously Microsoft is determined to win this battle or at least to show that they are all in the Private Cloud.

These software/company battles bring improvements on both sides.
The competition between these software giants also provide IT with resources needed to be able to assess the best technology. I think that free training on your product is a great approach. The IT world is growing so fast, that often times you cannot justify the expense of training. With free training, it is easy take the course online and then present the benefits to management or the customer. Microsoft has began what I think is one of their best marketing strategies ever.
