Comparison between Hyper-V and PowerShell vShpere

Question

May I know what is the comparison between these 2 softwares. Hyper-V and PowerShell vSphere. I know that Hyper-V is only used in Microsoft. And PowerShell vSphere can be used in most OS. But I wish to compare these two softwares in Microsoft OS.

Thanks.

Answer 1

The vSphere PowerCLI, allows you to use PowerShell to communicate with the vSphere advanced programming interface (API).

PowerCLI 4.0 = VI Toolkit 1.5 + Bug Fixes + Host Profile Cmdlets

"Host Profile Cmdlets" Are commands that allow to create configuration files of ESX hosts and to apply to another host in order to evaluate differences.
