Run more than one Hypervisor

  • 772

Is it possible to run more than one hypervisor on a single machine?
We already have a server running Windows Server 2008 with Hyper-V, but our linux based VMs are not very stable.
I would like to try VMware Server (yes, I know it is discontinued), but I cannot remove Hyper-V because of our Windows VMs (my boss says they have to stay since they currently just work the way they are.)

Is it possible to install and run VMware Server even though Hyper-V is running?

    Yes it is, as long as you are not using Bare-Metal hypervisors you can run many side-by-side.

    But I hope you have very, very, very solid hard drives because the IO will be off the charts.
